These Boots Are Made For Walking!!!!, January 17, 2008
Love these boots. They are comfortable and easy to wear. They look as new as when I took them out of the box on Christmas Day and I have worn them everyday since. They came to my front door the same week I ordered them. I will order again.

Nice looking boot but comes very narrow, September 4, 2011
This review is from: Timberland Women's Nellie Premium Ankle Boot (Apparel)
I bought my first pair of these boots in black about 1 1/2 years ago and since I've found many online shoes seem to come pretty narrow, I ordered a 1/2 size up in a wide.
They did not feel wide at all and fit pretty snug. Not uncomfortably snug to the point of hurting me, and they were really nice looking and just the casual look I wanted in a boot, so I kept them. They have that look of a hiking boot without looking big and bulky (dare I say a little more girlish?)... more the style and sleekness of a classic oxford. Better for casual work and play than for a long hike.
After wearing them awhile I forgot about the snuggness and they felt fine (though I always wear them with thin socks). I did a great deal of walking in these shoes... including some months in a couple of foreign countries where you walk everywhere and I put them through some snow and rain and sea water. I did not wear them daily, but enough to say they are decent walking shoes with so-so foot support. However, if you REALLY need a wide shoe and/or intend to wear them with thick socks or for long distances, this is NOT the shoe for you. The boot is a medium/narrow, even if you buy it in wide... if that works for you then you'll like this shoe.
After a year and a half the insides fell apart (I've had other Timberland boots last me years and years!). The outsides look alittle worn and old but held up... the insides are a mess. I've certainly never pulled a metal bar outta my shoe before, lol. Again, because I like the way they look and because I probably put them through more than my typical shoe, I ordered a second pair... this time a whole size bigger than my actual size and in wide. Still very narrow and this time they feel pretty darn stiff and they really didn't seem much bigger... but they don't hurt (just a little on the snug side again) and I won't be taking them abroad again or walking extensively in them. For me they are fine for occasional casual wear but ultimately not the comfortable and durable walking boot I hoped they'd also be.

Happy feet!, April 13, 2008
Comfortable, warm, rugged, grippy -- everything I need for very happy feet in any kind of nonsummer weather. Wet? Who cares? Slick? Not for me!Cold? Not my feet. I especially love leaving them unlaced and slipping them on a off like loafers.
