Best boots for the bucks
I bought my first pair of these boots in October 2005 and just replaced them with another pair today (March 2007). The old ones had about 1700 miles on them and were getting a bit worn out. My job involves walking most of the day through people's yards and sometimes cross-country. These boots are light, comfortable right out of the box, and waterproof. In nearly 31 years...

Great shoe but a major flaw in the design
Okay I have bought two different versions of this shoe one in black the other in brown leather with green nylon. Both were incredibly comfortable. I loved them for the time I could wear them. However, that was only for four days. Seems in order to save some money (on a 120 dollar shoe this amazed me) Timberland decided to use bent metal eyelets for the shoe strings on the...

Best boots for the bucks, March 29, 2007
I bought my first pair of these boots in October 2005 and just replaced them with another pair today (March 2007). The old ones had about 1700 miles on them and were getting a bit worn out. My job involves walking most of the day through people's yards and sometimes cross-country. These boots are light, comfortable right out of the box, and waterproof. In nearly 31 years on the job I've never had any boots as comfortable as these, and I've worn just about all the brands out there.
I'm also a backpacker and would recommend these for all but the toughest hikes.

Light, rugged, yet comfortable., December 26, 2007
This is one of the lightest yet most well constructed pair of boots I've worn recently. My GF got them for me recently since she saw them on my Amazon.com wishlist, and I am thankful she did. These boots feel so light they almost feel like they give my running shoes a run for their money in weight. I almost feel asleep with them on and barely noticed as I was dozing off they were still on.
I've yet to use them in inclement weather as I have so many other light and medium duty hiking boots, but just from how they feel and how they are constructed, I doubt they'll do badly. They vent well so my feet stay dry, and they look great. Tread grip is typical for the type, especially being so new.
The one concern I was wary of were the two top lace metal grooves above ankle height. I've had boots that had similar lace grooves, and they were made of thin gauge stamped metal most of the time, and they would end up breaking off after a few months of wear due to metal fatigue and stress. The lace grooves on this boot are of a somewhat heavier gauge and they aren't stamped either. I doubt I'll have a similar problem with them as I have experienced in the past, but if I do, I'll definitely post about it here.

Excellent boot, December 13, 2007
These boots are some of the most comfortable shoes of any kind that I have ever worn. The boots look great and the lacing system is superb. The Gore-tex lining makes a difference in comfort and dryness even when wearing them to the office. You're ready to take off most shoes at the end of the day, but you feel as though you could leave these on indefinitely. What more can be said?

Wow, Now that's a comfortable boot, November 1, 2006
I have very wide feet. On top of that, I have arthritis pretty bad in one foot. So I need a wide shoe, with plenty of room in the toe region.
Columbia's "Wide" pinches in at the tip of the toes
The Rockport "Wide" was fairly comfortable, however...
The Timberland's "Wide" was a great fit with mucho toe room.
cons:
Some people might thing there is too much toe room. When pulling heavy equipment, I feel the front of my foot sliding a bit in the boot.

Great boots, December 9, 2008
Hiked for a week in Glacier National Park and the Canadian Rockies and they were comfortable the entire time. I've also taken them hiking through 6 inches of melting Wisconsin snow in the spring time, and they kept my feet warm and dry. I'd definitely buy these again.

Great shoe but a major flaw in the design, June 28, 2009
Okay I have bought two different versions of this shoe one in black the other in brown leather with green nylon. Both were incredibly comfortable. I loved them for the time I could wear them. However, that was only for four days. Seems in order to save some money (on a 120 dollar shoe this amazed me) Timberland decided to use bent metal eyelets for the shoe strings on the lower half of the shoe rather than a more durable cast eyelets or simple punched eyelets. Note I'm not talking about the hooks on the upper half but the lower portion. After wearing them for four days the eyelet broke at one of the bends. This type of quality fits well for the 50$ or under crowd but the 100$ or higher I just couldn't believe it. Also, note this was the second pair not the first, as the first one came with the eyelet already broken. They were so comfortable that I gave them a second chance. Unless Timberland replaces my eyelets with cast ones I'll be returning these and won't be giving them a third chance. These boots are for those trendy types who want to look like the outdoors type at the clubs but are not for the outdoors. Stay away from these boots as your hiking could be ruined if the eyelets fail at a bad time.
Side note I've been wearing Timberland workbooks for the past 6 months with punched eyelets and have had no problems.

Great in the snow!, January 11, 2009
This hiking boot is very comfortable! The vibram sole is soft enough to give one sure footing on ice and snow. I wore them for several hours with a pair of wool hiking socks in 15 degree temps in the snow, and my feet stayed dry the entire time--clearly a waterproof boot. Light weight, great fitting and an overall outstanding boot!

Best Boots I've ever owned, November 19, 2009
I work for a lumber company and have worn work boots for the past 30 years.
I use to buy the cheaper boots found in most chain type stores. I decided I wanted to find a true WATERPROOF work boot. I went to a speciality store that carried a large varity of waterproof boots. I need a wide width and they could be hard to find.
The Timberland Chocurua Trail boots fit great & were extremly comfortable right out of the box. No need to break them in. I wore them 10 hours the 1st day with no discomfort what so ever.
The 1st week I had walked thru a large mudhole so when I got home I pulled out the garden hose and sprayed the entire boot down. No water seepage. I thought for sure my feet would get a little wet but that wasn't the case.
I wore these for about a year and I'm now on my second pair. As they say you get what you pay for.
If your looking for a true waterproof boot with great comfort kick out the few extra bucks and give these a try. You won't be disappointed.

Good Boots for Hiking and Wet conditions, February 3, 2010
They are comfortable, easy to put on, and have decent traction in wet, slippery and/or rocky conditions. They are also good in snow, my feet haven't gotten wet yet and they keep my feet warm. The only downsides are that they mark up easily and the laces that came with it broke about 6 months after buying. There are replacement laces but you can't get the same color that came when you bought it. The guy at the shop says that the metal rings grind down on the laces.
