Timberland boots

If it seems to many that the American brand Timberland exists a long time ago on the market of high-quality and fashionable shoes, then by American standards it is a rather young brand. The company’s history dates back to 1973.

By 1980, Timberland gained popularity due to its waterproof boots and an assortment of goods for both daily wardrobe and outdoor activities. By 1985, a million pairs of boots had been sold. In the 90s, the company continued to expand and began to capture all large markets. In addition to shoes, she began to produce under her own name backpacks, watches and children's shoes.

Today, the Timberland brand is primarily associated with celebrities (Jay-Z and Kanye West) and fasionists (street style).

They gained immense popularity outside the homeland. It is not surprising that in 2015, the company's profit amounted to 1.8 billion dollars.

The company Timberland first released its advertising on television. Before that, no shoe brand did this. Another company was remembered by the fact that during the events of September 11, 2011 in New York, the company provided all the rescuers with their boots, whose shoes were damaged (melted) from high temperatures during a fire in the twin towers.

In our country, Timberland boots are called “Timberlands” or simply “Timby”. So, how to wear such boots. First of all, decide on a style: classic monophonic or bright contrast casual. Secondly, before putting on timbas, manufacturers advise sprinkling on them a protective shoe spray to avoid stains and marks. And finally, wear such shoes with thick socks! Timberlands are made of very durable leather and trimmed with sturdy suede, so during the first couple of weeks socks are possible if the feet are not protected. And this is not the most pleasant thing, so arm yourself with warm thick socks.

Distinctive characteristics of boots:

• Handwork;
• Water resistant;
• Genuine leather high quality;
• The use of raw materials recycled from plastic bottles;
• Laces are made from 100% recycled nylon;

Used technologies:

• PrimaLoft® ECO technology provides excellent thermal insulation;
• ANTI-FATIGUE technology prevents fatigue of the foot;
• Technologies using tools to protect the environment.

Today, the Timberland can be bought both in male and female design, and even to children, although initially shoes were sewn exclusively for the representatives of the stronger sex. In the women's collection there are winter models and summer ones. If winter, autumn and spring boots can be found in a variety of color dressings, the women's summer collection is more restrained (gray, white, black). Despite the fact that for men and children, the design of Timberland boots is mainly based on the classic yellow model, women have a slightly wider assortment: you can find boots with high tops, laced and without, leather and suede, and even heels and wedges.

However, quality, comfort, durability and convenience do not stop buyers of fans of this brand.

The question of how to distinguish the original from a fake is given to many buyers when they buy timberland.Due to the fact that all the production departments of the company were transferred to the Dominican Republic and China long ago, the names of these countries are written on the originals. The fakes are still written "Made in the USA". So, the main 5 points that you definitely need to pay attention to.

• Very well inspect the product from all sides. Feel the skin, it should be thick, durable and even rough.
• Pay attention to the seams: they must have the same pitch and be located at an equal distance between them.
• Make sure the seams are sturdy.
• The letter “R” in the circle should also be printed on the side of the heel above the word Timberland.

Consider the label "Tree":

• The letter “R” is circled in a regular even circle;
• The branches of the tree are always strictly according to the drawing;
• The lines below the tree are also always curved in the same form.
