Timberland Women's Earthkeepers Bethel Knee-High Boot

After reading a bunch of reviews on this site and others, I took people's advice and ordered a half size larger than my normal size. I already have dressy boots that are form fitting to use with a skirt and wanted a boot for wearing with jeans, and these are perfect! They are rustic but with style and superb fit. The foot bed and toe box are foot-shaped, well balanced, supportive and comfortable with plenty of room for a woolly sock. The nubuck shank forms beautifully to the shape of your leg very quickly and fit like a glove without being at all constrictive. They are a true riding boot style with leather top and calf adjustment button. The zippers work great, seem heavy and well made and allow for easy on/off, which is a big plus for my high arches. I wear a C width in shoes, so I got the wide width. There is slight heel slippage but I am fine with that. My calf measurement is 14" and the boot top is ~ 15 and a half inches, which is plenty of room to tuck in jeans. The leather quality is beautiful, I love the chunky heel, and the rubber lug sole is a must for walking on ice and snow. They thought of everything with these boots - I can't say enough good things about them! A lovely pair of boots for a great price that I highly recommend.

I wanted to love the boots as I have been waiting and waiting for them to go on sale well I found a good sale got them for 78 no shipping and was very disappointed. The ankle area was huge they slouched all over and when I walked they slipped. I would have sized down but the "suede" part was awful looking it was ruff and looked tortured, It was not nice like the picture. I have 15 in calves and I still had room and slack. There were also scuff marks and indents on the leather already I don't know if they sent me a pre owned pair or what but I was expecting better quality from the other reviews. Sad I might try the savin hill ones though. oh and I'm a size 10

Attractive boot, but awkward shaft design. The shaft has an adjustment at the top, but if you tighten it, it makes the middle of the shaft pucker out. That said, these boots are true-to-size...I wear an 8.5M in most boots, and an 8.5M fit me fine in these. They are lightweight and comfortable boots. Even though the shaft is flexible, they did not slouch on me. Unfortunately, I had to return them because the shaft simply does not fit my calves properly due to a design flaw.

I'm a high heel girl but had to have these boots. I ordered my true size (7.5) in the burgundy. They are beautiful. It is a dark warm brown color. The fit is tight, and like others can only wear them with a thin sock. I tried them on with thin cotton socks and the toe area was pulled tight when putting my foot in the boot. Perhaps a thin slippery type of sock would be better. I have thin boney feet that are not wide in the slightest and feel tightness in the bunion area. Because these are leather, they will stretch some and will conform to my feet. If you are debating on what size to order, start with your true size. The snug fit feels secure on your feet. If you need more comfort room and wish to wear heavier socks then go up 1/2 size. Think of pumps, if they're too loose then your feet slide out of them. If that is the fit you can accept then order your true size. If not, size up 1/2 size. I hope this review helps.

Overall I'm pretty pleased with this purchase. The boot is comfortable in the foot bed and wide enough for my sometimes-too-wide-but-not-"wide" feet. The toe area is roomy even though it is a fairly narrow toe. They seem true to size. I'm almost 5'7" and the shaft comes to just under my knee - taller than most "knee" high boots. The three hole adjustment at the top only fits me on the middle hole, but allows me to wear the boot either under or over jeans. These boots have the thinner type lug sole and don't look as clunky as a thicker lug. My only complaint is that the nubuck on the shaft is thinner than the leather of the rest of the boot. What this means is that when worn without jeans tucked in it sags just a little. If not for the strip of leather up the back seam it would sag a lot more. Please note that nubuck is not water proof and a small area below the lower strap, on the foot, is also nubuck. You wouldn't want to stand in any ankle-high puddles in these. I also would have expected a slight price decrease because of the nubuck (and you'll see one if you want any color besides black). Despite the fact that I knew these were partially nubuck (though I didn't know that part was thinner than the rest) I bought and and am keeping the boots. There are products out there that say they waterproof nubuck. The quality of the workmanship is good and pretty sturdy. I've gotten several compliments on my new boots.

I really, really wanted to love these!! I thought for sure I would. I don't have wide or difficult-to-fit feet -- just your average 7.5's. Sometimes I even wear 7's. So I ordered these and waited excitedly for them. As soon as they arrived, I put them on and OUCH!!!!!! "Snug" and "tight" are not strong enough words. The only way to describe them is "can't feel your toes." They are horrible. Plus, they do look bunchy and not in a good way. I'm returning them -- so sad.

Vorab: Ich hatte die Stiefel in Größe 36 und 37 zur Auswahl bestellt. Größe 36 war zu eng am Fuß, Größe 37 - vor allem am Schaft - zu weit. Daran wäre es also schon gescheitert. Allerdings kommt noch dazu, dass die Stiefel zwar top verarbeitet sind und hochwertig aussehen, jedoch nicht mal mit wärmerem Textilfutter gefüttert und - obwohl die Sohle danach aussieht - nicht besonders rutschfest sind.
