Just bought my 2nd pair of 12M Timberland Pro Gridwork Soft Toes to start breaking in. They do take a little while to get really soft and comfy but when they get there...nice! Waterproofing is excellent and the leather gets really soft and forms to your foot despite the lining. I locate utilities in Texas and they're not that bad in the summer w/ thinner breathable socks. All in all, for the $130-$140 range I've paid, these are hands down the best I've tried or even seen. Only downside is (of course) the sole wears out quickly. The grey bottom does really help w/ traction BUT still wears down (especially at the heel) REALLY quickly FYI.
I'm a wedge sole guy, so I had to try these out. I have the 8" steel toe version. The black upper with black laces looks sharp. They're like a comfy recliner on the inside. I had a few days of adjusting to how massive and heavy they are -- each boot is two and a half pounds! But there was zero break-in. 12 hours the first day. no problems. I can tell they're going to be hot in warmer weather. I'm in coastal Nor Cal, where summer doesn't really start until late August. I'm hoping they won't become sweat buckets.
Most Comfortable boots I’ve ever worn… been in the construction industry for 37 years and hands down the best boots ever, I wear them everyday and use them for riding my motorcycle being a shorter man it helps reduce the amount of reach on my Harley Davidson wouldn’t even consider anything else I’ve worn all different types of boots over the years and these are my personal preference in black
I just bought these boots 20 mins ago. Been at this construction racket almost 18 years.. and I have never put on a more comfortable supportive boot. I've worn them all. Redwing, irish setters, dakota's, terras, Royers, etc. Maybe it's my older age, but dam,,, beyond comfortable.
I've been thinking about getting a pair, but I wasn't to sure. I'm definitely sure now. Thanks, for the great review and opinion. I'm getting a pair of these boots. they look awesome.
Best I use them in concrete work framing , plumbing, welding and lots of walking Damm so thankful I tried them on I'll use till the stop making them ..
I work as an RV detailer and walk through soapy water, antifreeze etc. all day long and rarely ever slip.I'm on my 3rd pair of these,the first pair has been resoled and I would highly recommend these.
My Timberline Pro's (TAO16T4214) are just about to come to the end. They've been a fantastic boot for me. I'll either be looking to resole them or for a new pair. They've worked well on grassy embankments, deep in the turkey woods and even chasing pheasants when my Danner's were getting resoled ... they look good, but they are extremely comfortable and are my go to boot when I know I am going to need reliable footwear.
This is one of the most comfortable boots i`ve own, i also have a pair of gridworks steel toe( black in color ) which is not as comfortable as the soft toe, the only draw back on these boots are the sole , it wears out pretty quick ( i work in a metal fab shop ) the front sole has some chips and its not ideal to drive a stick shift with this boot, its pretty slippery on the clutch & accelerator pedal and the feedback is close to none. As for the leather its a soft type i had a long piece of metal tubing that has been abrasive cut with burs fell on the side my boot, it gouge / tear the leather pretty deep . I don't think it will last a year with the work i do , but i`ll definitely buy another pair because it is so damn comfortable i wear this boots 8 - 10 hours a day , 5 days a week without getting my feet hurt.
just bought these because of your video. seemed to have the features I was looking for vs price vs availability. appreciate the info. also note. I mainly drive and walk around in the mud sometimes. may or may not be a good thing but I hate when mud gets caked in my boots in that step.
Iv had the gridworks for 4 months... the sole unglued itself from the boot!... there goes $260 for a premium top of the line latest technology made on the moon boot, looks nice though
This is my new favorite channel. Iv been buying alot of the cheaper tactical style boots. But now i gotta buys some danners. And now i gotta gets these tims pro for work. To many boots not enough time to where them all. How many boots do you own. Whats your favorite manufacturer
I'm pissed it seems like they stopped making them I've been buying direct attach for 10 years and now the 6-in version soft toe or any toe I can't find them these boots with the white laces and rubber toe for mechanics are awesome why would they stop!
I like these boots a lot. Not crazy about that ugly toe cap. Not a deal breaker but It would be nice if they made it in a brown rubber to match the leather a bit more. I work in custodial, do you think these would be good for that environment?
I used these boots for a hard 6 monthes constantly on my hands and knees screening driveways and the toe never wore out I then proceeded to use them as a winter boot and then carpentry the next year they lasted 2 years my only complain is the insole wore out and I had to change them lol but I am like 220 so that's alot of weight they held up lol
+Russ Meister the last time I saw a TIMBERLAND PRO rep I ask them about it. There is something to it. I just don't recall right now. But give me a few days.
got mine today. think its a marker for the waterproof , if you submerge ur boot past that orange market water will start to enter the boot. the water liner reaches just above that orange eyelit.
Hey boot guy In your professional opinion what’s a good boot for an elevator constructor per my local the boot has to be puncture proof steel toe and comfortable with plenty of support
I am interested in these I dont know weather to get the 8 or 6 inch... I can't find them in any stores to try them on. I work In the low voltage field so my terrain ranges from full on ground floor construction to clean office building I currently have the Redwing 405 but I reserve those for working in occupied tenant buildings.
I don't know if you mentioned it in the comments but it wasn't in the video.... are they resolable?... I walk a lot more than I beat up the upper of shoes so my sole wear out quicker.
Nice boot, very comfortable! I'm having a hard time locating another pair, does anyone know where I can find a pair. My first pair I ordered from Amazon and then i unfortunately went and ordered from bogus site that worked me over for my purchase so I never received them.
bromma1979 These are more for the winter, they are not very breathable. If you can get the mock toe that's made in the states, might be a little $ more but they breath really well through the stitching. I'm in ATL,trust me.
I read it won't slip on oil or water on the website. but it will on concrete and loose sand they say in the video. I'm a mechanic I was looking at these because I heard that type of sole was good on hard floors. can someone help out if there a good choice for me
TheBootGuy I was mostly wondering about traction . we work on off road stuff all the time so there is always loose dirt on our floors plus the usual fluids like oil end up there when someone makes a mess
+Kaleb Persinger ok, I don't want to suggest some thing that will melt to your foot if your cutting a frame or welding and exhaust system in place. Most of the top rated SR boots and shoes have about 50%nylon. Is that ok with you or do you want more leather?
Hey so im working at a hockey rink and trying to find boots or shoes that will be good on wet ice after its been flooded. Keep in mind when we walk on the ice at first its snowy then we walk on the wet ice. I know theres the artic grip boots but ive found there very pricey. Its like 350 with tax in canada. Im looking to spend like 260 with tax ( Canadian ) which is like 170+ tax usd. Im a 9.5 in shoes and i have a wide foot. Do you think these would be good or do you have any other recommendations? Also they have to be waterproof
3 month late but worth the comment i guess. I also work in rinks and Ive always wanted to know what a wedge sole would be like on the ice. I used to wear skate shoes and they were my favourite for walking on the ice until my employers started to really crack down on safety and required us to have steel toes. Anyways i have yet to try any type of wedge sole out of fear of wasting money on something that may or may not work for me....But i have had two pairs of the timberland Boondocks and i can honestly say as far as work boots i have used thus far, they are probably my most favourite to walk on a freshly resurfaced rink with. I still really want to try a wedge sole boot out of curiosity. Also ive been working in rinks for nearly a decade now, if that counts for anything. Lots of experience and been through many different boots in that time.
I work in manufacturing plant 12 hour nights I’ve been looking for a nice boot for a decent price but won’t kill my paycheck what’s your opinion on something like that
Do you need a wedge?? Ive got a pair of these on order cause I wanted a more substantial boot for winter. But I work in an industrial manufacturing setting, and I've worn blundstones religiously for awhile. Durable, comfy (double the insole if you can), fairly light, and not to excessive, no laces to deal with.
what kind of soil? im thinking seriously in buy a pair, i work in irrigation (not landcaping) ,my wet conditions are dirt, mud , and sand, and i have to walk a lot around big properties, this pair looks comfortable , i use ladders constantly for access to basements then plan to wear for work in massachusetts snowy conditions, i use to wear a timberland attach 6" those are heavy ,very uncomfortable after 4 or five hours and keep nice an clean is like a part time job... would you help me with a reccomendation of thos for those conditions?
Anyone know of these would be good for working in a grocery store? Specifically the produce department... I need something waterproof and very comfortable... I like the sound of all the padding these boots come with and I just think they look like a damn fine pair of boots! I have a pair of Carolinas' now that I do like but the heel has always bugged me
I've have bought TIMBERLAND TITAN PRO 47019 FOR YRS PROBABLY 8 PAIRS THATS ALOT, I LOVE THEM BUT BEING ON CONCRETE ALL DAY WAS TOLD TRY A WEDGE SOLE I'M FLAT FOOTED I REALLY LIKE THE 47019 SERIES, SO I CALLED TIMBERLAND TOLD THEM WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR ALL THEY WOULD SAY IS I'M SORRY WE CAN'T HELP YOU SO NOW I GUESS I'M GOING TO TRY A PAIR OF SEARS DIEHARD DH 80440 I LIKE COMPOSITE SAFTEY TOE THIS IS WHY I LIKE THE 47019 TIMBERLAND TITAN VERY COMFORTABLE BOOT BUT HAS A HEAL AND THE SOLES WEAR OUT SO SOON BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OUT OF A SOFT MATERIAL BUT COMPFY ON CONCRETE SORRY TIMBERLAND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LISTEN I MUST MOVE ON COST IS ANOTHER ISSUE I MAY REGRET BUT WHEN I DO FIND I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS AND I USALLY BUY 2 PAIRS AT A TIME MEANS TIMBERLAND YOU LOOSE CUSTOMERS
Thanks dude, that sole won't work for me Specially on wood shake roofs, or when I'm cutting plywood up there too, I need to find something better Great review 👍
Tommy Lauwers I've used skate shoes in the past, but they wear out really fast, Also I need more protection because I work doing framing also, that's why I had to stop wearing sneakers to work. But thanks for the tip dude
You right about not lasting I always used all leather dvs usually got about 6 months out of them. These boots actually seem like they might be a good fit for roofing flat bottoms lot of surface area. Mine will be arriving tomorrow so until then I won't know how hard the soles are.
Tommy Lauwers right now I'm using Danner's Quarry, but they are just brutal on new asphalt shingles when they're hot, excellent on wood shingle though I saw this ones at the store, they seemed alright, I just have some doubts on that sole
Haha right can't be tearing up shingles heard good things about danners but after owning my first pair of boondocks I can't by anything other than tims. I'm currently logging and farming as well as some construction plumbing landscaping. Just all around amazing boots for all jobs
These boots are junk. After buying my thorogoods a coworker bought these a month after. Mine are still holding up strong, his are literally falling apart🤷🏾♂️
