Quality Boot
Although my first purchase resulted in a half-torn tongue in the front of the boot, a new pair was sent to me very quickly to replace the first pair. I enjoy them very much; they're light, they fit well, they're waterproof (tested that out), and they're good-looking.

Quality Boot
Overall, the boots seem to be made of quality materials (leather is very soft) and put together well. They are also very comfortable. A few notes about the boots: they run at least a half size large, the soles are very low profile and become rather slick in snow/rain, and the soles squeak when wet.

Amazing Boots!
Best boots ever.
I've wore them with pretty much any style. They are comfortable and they just look really nice.
Not only can you wear them with blue jeans and khaki pants buy also with cargo shorts and other styles you might like. This boots are a beauty.
I definitely recommend!

The Perfect Boot
This boot is a must have for any urban booter. Super cool design makes it very unique and stands apart from every "other" boot you see. Super comfortable too! I mean SUPER comfortable! Already has a bit of a worn it look and feel to it which is a major plus. I highly recommend this boot to anyone looking for a high quality boot for traipsing around the city.

All around good Shoe
I like this shoe very much. But I think it should be clear that this is definitely a walking shoe or a lightweight boot. It is wearable through the summer months, and in the Winter with serious socks. Not your traditional work boot, not beefy.
It conforms to your feet well, being totally leather, and feels good to run around in.
I feel as though the sole will wear quickly, but am looking into what it will take to get it re-soled.
If it were made in the USA, it might be the only lightweight boot I'd ever get.

Great Boot!
this boot is amazing! i've been trotting around town for about a week now and have nothing negative to report. very quality leather (waterproof!) and stitching with an awesome non slip rubber outsole that is very durable. there are two leather loops on the back of these boots if you want to run the laces around you ankles. the fit definitely runs large so prepare to size down. Very comfortable boot that is perfect for fall or winter. Pair it with a smartwool sock and you wont be disappointed.

Men's EarthKeepers 6 in. Leather Boot
Great boot. Agree with previous reviews regarding sizing. Order 1/2 size under your regular size. Very comfortable. Broke in easily and made out of quality materails. Highly recommended.

Great Boot
I found the boots to be incredibly lightweight and stylish. The size is the only thing that I had a problem with. They seem to run big so size down. As far as comfort, they were lightweight enough to walk around town all afternoon and still look good with jeans for evening eats. I would recommend these to anyone...
September 25, 2011
Great boot
This is my second pair of this boot. They are very comfortable right out of the box and only get better with time. Really light and durable. I'm going on a little over a year with my first pair and all stitching is still in tact but th sole is finally worn to the point where the stars in the forefoot are gone. Most of my other boots have worn much faster. I see myself buying a third pair.
July 13, 2011
Ordered down since reviews said boot ran big...
... but sizing down was too small thus not necessary. I wear 12 to 12.5 shoe and boot size 12 was perfect. Go with the darker color if available. Quality boot that looks tough.
June 14, 2011
Stylish boot
Very good looking, rugged boot without being too bulky. Construction seems to be high quality although it isn't meant for actual heavy duty work. Runs 1-1.5 sizes large so size down.
May 19, 2011
Great style, extremely comfortable
These are great Timberland boots. Great styling, very comfortable, high quality. I would recommend these boots to anyone. FYI, they do run a little big. About a size. Good fro a boot though, I do like the room. Especially with thicker socks. All in all, great purchase at a great price.
May 13, 2011
Good boot
Very happy with my purchase. Boot is stylish yet rugged. Timberland runs large so i went with the size 9 and i am a size 10 in boots 10.5 in athletic shoes.
March 11, 2011
Great-looking, Solid Boot
This boot does run very large - one full size large. But, it's a great looking boot, and comfortable as well. The sole is rubber, so it's very nice to walk on.
March 8, 2011
Great shoe....
Very well made shoe for light duty. Wanted a rugged everyday shoe that could take the elements if neededand this fit the bill. I didn't listen to other reviewers and I initially purchased my normal size 12 and it was huge so I ordered down 1/2 size and I'd still say it's a 1/2 size to big but it's a comfortable and roomy and I like the fit. A little pricey at full price but grap it during a coupon day. Highly recommend this show and Altrec for there service !
March 7, 2011
Light, eco friendly, look great
These boots do seem sized large--I normally wear a 10 and the 9.5 seems a little bit big. The boots have held up well though I haven't worn them hard. The material marks easily and looks more rugged than polished. They're great casual wear boots, wouldn't necessarily recommend for vigorous hiking, but more for streetwear. Always like the look of Timberlands, but sometimes disappointed in the fit--which would be true with these as well. One bonus on these boots is that they are light--not heavy and bulky.
February 27, 2011
GREAT BOOTS
Great product, amazingly comfortable and high quality. I would say these are one of the most comfortable boots I have ever put on my feet. They are lightweight, waterproof and comfortable. If you are going to buy these boots just make sure you buy a full size smaller.
February 23, 2011
Good boot, decent buy
There was a 40% off on Timberland's site which I missed out on in November. So I finally purchased the boots after months of waiting for the perfect deal. The boots run fairly large, at the store i tried on a 9 (my true size) and was roomy. Ordered 8.5, it's not a snug fit. Weird that this boot runs big. for $141 with tax and free ship, seems like an ok deal. but if I had not missed 40% off and free ship..$104 would have been such a great deal ! Before you buy, i would recommended trying on at the store. my size 8.5 may fit snug with the right soles.
February 14, 2011
Great Boots!
Overall these boots are great, look is exactly what I was looking for. Only issues is echoed in most of the other reviews- these things are HUGELY oversized. I initially ordered 11.5 (my typically boot size to accomodate thicker socks). Had to size down twice, eventually settling on the 10.5. Recommend buying at least 1 full size down from normal.
February 13, 2011
Boots are awesome BUT too large.
These boots are exactly what I was looking for BUT they definitely run 1 size too large. I am a 10.5. They were HUGE. I ended up getting a 9.5 as well and they are still slightly large but work. I returned the 10.5.
They are nicely constructed and remind me of my Timerland Chukka (Green and Brown) goretex boots from a long time ago.
February 2, 2011
Great Boot
These boots are attractive yet comfortable at the same time. I am typically a 10 or 10.5 so I ordered a 10 thinking they would fit - they didn't. Great boots just order at least a half size to a a size smaller. You won't be disappointed.
January 25, 2011
Earthkeeper Boot
The 6 in Earthkeeper Boot is a stylish, yet durable boot. The boots look great and seem to be made really well. It runs a little large - I bought my Earthkeepers in a full size smaller than all of my other shoes.
I had been shopping for these for a while. Altrec had the best price and shipped fast.
January 16, 2011
good boot
comfortable, tough and stylish boot. it looks good, fits well and wears in nicely.
these are exactly what i was looking for when i was looking (all over) for some good winter boots. ive seen a lot of construction boots that are too heavy duty and also hiking boots that are too sporty but these are a good balance of everything i was looking for in a boot.
very well made timberland.
January 12, 2011
Great Boots!
I really like these boots. They are very stylish, and look very appropriate for casual as well as dressy attire. They are quite rugged. It only took about three full days of wearing them for them to feel very broken in. Based on previous reviews, I ordered a full size below what I normally wear and they fit great, so make sure you order down a size. I am very happy with this purchase and I would definitely order from Altrec again.
January 9, 2011
Fresh out of the box, but lookin GOooooD!
I have been looking for a pair of stylish boots to tackle Burlington, VT snowstorms and the occasional jaunt into the woods day hiking. I Think the Timberland Earthkeepers are finally the perfect match. These boots come broken in, and the craftsmanship appears to be great. They are quite light and lack any great bulk which is nice for daily town use, but i would be hesitant to do anything more than a day hike in them. In summary, the perfect urban boot to tackle an average day of sloshing around.

Great Boot but Huge in Size!
I absolutely loved this boot, but it run very large in size. I ordered a size 11.5 and typicaly wear a size 12. The 11.5 was still too large! I recommend ordering this boot in a full size smaller.
January 5, 2011
make sure you order 1 size smaller than your usual shoe size, and spray with weather protector; at least 3 coats
very comfortable shoe once the area around the ankle breaks in; takes about 2-3 days of normal usage
December 29, 2010
I love these boots, the only problem is that it runs almost 1.5 sizes smaller. I have to reorder it 2 times. Other than that, it looks very cool and comfortable!
December 22, 2010
Great Casual Looking Boot
I wear these boots to work almost every day and they look excellent. I wore them out this past weekend and they were very comfortable and durable. These boots you can wear with jeans or khakis and they are durable like any other Timberland's I have owned. I would suggest getting one size smaller than what you wear in a pair of running shoes. I wear a 12 and I purchased a 11 and they fit great. Overall very happy with my purchase and the price is the cheapest on Altrec. Trust me I know, I do a lot of research before I go out and buy something on the internet. I try and find the best deals and Altrec has them.
December 20, 2010
Great Boot!!!!
I have a pair of Timberland leather hikers for 15 years which I love and these boots remind me of them. The EarthKeepers arrived earlier than estimated and they also did run one size larger for me. I am 9.5 and I ordered 8.5. The boots fit just right, not too big, not too small. They have been great in the snow and walking all day.
December 19, 2010
Awesome boots
I wish AltRec had them in my size! I ordered these in 12, got shipped a 13, called to set up a return and tried for 12s in this color, or the dark brown with no luck. Oh well, bought them from another site, but AltRec's customer service rep was top notch. Like most Timberlands, they run very large, I wear a 13 in everything except these.
December 17, 2010
I've had the boots for about a year now and they still look just as good. The leather is of good quality and is very stylish. A few problems I have though are: 1) the sole wore out pretty quickly from walking in concrete 2) not completely waterproof, water can get in through the sides of tongue of the shoe. Apart from those two, the boots are still very stylish.
December 12, 2010
good look great fit
I have never worn boots before so I was looking for a pair that would be confortable, good looking and that would last long. After reading the reviews on the site I found out that these boots were the ones for me. They are really comfortable. It is true what the other people say about these boots running kind of big so make sure you order them one size smaller. I normally wear 10.5 in any other shoe but with these boots I had to order them on 9.5 and they fit just right plus I wear orthodicts so they just fit perfect. Im really happy with my purchase. I may purchase a second pair on a different color that is how much i like these boots.I hope this review helps anyone.
December 8, 2010
Boots are very handsome, look good in khakis or jeans. Broke in feel straight out of the box. Sole's are very soft which are good for walking on ice and snow. I wear a size 14, I read the reviews and seen they ran a little on the bigger side. I ordered a 13 and they fit perfect.
December 5, 2010
Great-looking boot, but huge!
I love the way this boot looks, but it runs big, and I mean really big! I'm a true 8.5. I wear a 9 in running shoes and, occasionally, an 8 in dress shoes (and Chuck Taylors) that run big. I first ordered these boots in an 8.5. They were really big. I figured they were mis-sized and returned them. Next, I ordered an 8. Again, waaaay too big. At that point, I gave up and moved on to a different brand. A shame, 'cause I really wanted to keep them.
November 29, 2010
Classy
Good fit, great looks, comfortable walking shoe. I have only had them for a short time, but they seem quite durable.
November 22, 2010
Sophisticated & stylish look.
I really like these boots. I am a professional and wanted a pair that would go well with dark suits. These boots look good with suits and and should work well for the NY city winter. They are very light and do not feel bulky at all. I like the formal design and construction on these timberlands.

Great "around town" boot
I've been wearing these boots for about a month and can honestly say that I'm quite the fan. Not only do they look good, I've had more than one friend comment on the great style, but they're comfortable as well. While they wouldn't be supportive enough for any type of backpacking, they're easily my choice for normal days around town.
One word of advice, these boots really do run large. I'm usually a 9.5 or 10 and had to size down to an 8.5 size 9. Once I found the correct size they became my go-to shoe for every day living.
November 20, 2010
Good bet for the money
Good quality boot, attractive appearance, extremely comfortable. Good bet for the money
November 17, 2010
Good Looking Boot
This is a nice, stylish boot. Very comfortable, but it does run large. I got a half size smaller than normal, and it's still slightly big, so if your foot isn't too wide, you could probably do a whole size smaller than you typically would. Overall, still a very good boot. I would definitely recommend it.
November 12, 2010
Very comfortable and durable boot
This boot is very comfortable and durable. It runs a little big but good for me.
November 4, 2010
Runs REALLY large
Handsome, well-made, comfortable shoes. But they run very, very large. I recommend getting them in a size that is at least 1.5 or 2 sizes smaller than your usual one. I had to return mine, even though I got them 1 size smaller than I do normally.
Otherwise, great shoes.
October 29, 2010
LOVE THEM!
I ware size 11 USA in nikes, and 9 1/2 in timberlands. So, I got size 9 in these thinking they run big...and they do. They fit perfect but I like my shoes tight on my foot so I ware medium thick socks with them.
October 20, 2010
Great Boots
Great boots for winter, pretty light compared to snow boots and the waterproof leather holds up well, have had then for a year now and still perform great, wear them hiking, commutes in deep snow and in the rain and still love them
October 20, 2010
So far, so good
Have only worn these boots for about a week, but they seem great so far. Good looking. Pretty comfortable. A winning purchase.
October 16, 2010
Killer boots
I purchased the Earthkeeper boot after searching for something casual, with a great look. I finally came across this boot and knew that it was the boot I wanted. The quality leather and waterproof quality were big selling points along with a high quality brand name. I got compliments the second I took them out of the box. Beware, they definitely run a full size too big-take that into account.
October 14, 2010
great boot
very comfortable, look very nice. especially if you have bigger feet, they are not as bulky as others.
October 13, 2010
Good looking, comfortable boot
Nice, timeless look and feel. Runs very large. I am normally a 10 or 10.5 and I bought a size 9.
October 12, 2010
Somewhat dissappointed
I was looking for a good pair of boots that I could wear every day, yet last 4-5 years. I bought these boots, and was excited for their arrival. When they arrived I wasn't as impressed. They are good looking boots, but they do not look like they are worth what they cost. They did fit large, even after ordering a half-size down. I ended up sending these boots back because they fit large. Also, the soles on the boots appear as if they could wear really quickly, but I wasn't able to test this out. I hate to discourage to people from not buying these boots, because different strokes for different folks, but I would not buy these boots unless their price decreases considerably.

Casual shoe, not hiking boot
This is a nice and comfortable casual shoe with quality leather. However, if you are looking for a sturdy, waterproof hiking boot, look elsewhere. The sole on this shoe is thin and the tread is soft rubber that wears out quickly. Hiking on rocks will have your feet aching quickly, and while the leather will last, the soles were not made to. This is a nice casual shoe for around town, but it is not suitable for hiking. My rating is based on not being able to use the shoe for its intended purpose. I purchased these 2 months ago; they are still in good shape, but I'm shopping now for proper hiking boots.
July 26, 2010
Great Boots!
My husband is a teacher and I bought these boots for him as a Christmas present. He absolutely loved the style and weight of the shoe. I followed the advice of some other reviews and got a 1/2 size smaller but he could of actually used his regular size. The fit was a little snug.
July 22, 2010
Nice boots
Looks great. Make sure you get 1/2 size smaller than your usual size, however as I found they ran a big large.
June 9, 2010
Excellent QPR
I'm an ex 19-Delta from the Army and these were more comfy than any combat boot I've ever had to break in. Not too expensive, excellent support and strong stable base for hiking. Just hiked 5 miles a couple of weeks ago in very wet conditions, raining the entire time, and my feet remained completely dry (besides my sweat :) Would certainly purchase again. As others have noted though, between all my shoes/boots I wear a 11.5-12 depending, so I got size 11's for these and with my double socks (wickers and smart-wool) boots fit very comfy as noted.
May 21, 2010
Instantly comfortable, good-looking, somewhat waterproof.
As previously stated, runs big in sizing. I was hoping to have some real-world waterproof tests by now, alas the rain has stopped where I live. I called Timberland to find out why they don't list this as a WATERPROOF boot. They told me they used to, but have since discovered that it doesn't live up to their standards for waterproof. This indicated to me that it is probably a good boot to run around in the rain, but not for submerging in a creek. I think that with a good waterproofing treatment, this boot will be fine for everything I need it for, ie rainy hikes and wet pastures. A good seam sealer will probably take it to the fully waterproof level.
May 10, 2010
Great
Well worth the leather. Well worth its weight in gold!
May 5, 2010
Great looking boot, poor sizing
Timberland sizing is at least 1/2 size off. Unfortunately, due to what seems like poor quality control, it may vary from 1/2 size to a full size. I have now bought and returned 3 boots due to poor sizing. If you can get a good fit, I'm sure this is a 5 star boot. I'm just a little frustrated right now.
May 3, 2010
great boot
first pair of nice boots, wore them every day for work, hiking, casual. didn't make my feet stink.
May 3, 2010
nice boots
Nice boots. I like it very comfortable, good leather quality. Fits excellent.
April 14, 2010
Coolest boots ever!
Waited months to find these in my size and in leather... After much searching found them on Altrec.com. The boots fit fantastic, the leather is of high quality, and the style is awesome. Everyone I have shown the boots to is impressed. Do follow the advice of everyone regarding size-- they run large! I normally wear a 10 1/2 to 11. I ordered a 10 and they fit perfect.
April 12, 2010
at first blush, very cool
I've only worn the boots a couple of times, but love them so far . . . light, wearable immediately, look great. A little worried about the thin tongue in the shoe. Seems like the other cautionary tales in review could easily be an unfortunate foreshadowing
April 12, 2010
As advertised.
The 6-inch Leather EarthKeepers hold up to their hype. The leather is indeed waterproof and stylish to "boot." If you're looking for a practical yet casual boot, I recommend Timberland's latest Earth-friendly footwear.
March 31, 2010
Good boots
Like most boots, they do fit a size bigger, so wear huge socks. The are really light too. You're going to want to condition them, so they will get a shade darker.
March 29, 2010
Best Boot ever
Best boot I've ever tried on; instantly comfortable; very attractive; durable in construction and appearance; waterproof quality hugely practical; environmental materials meaningful to me; only regret was size was too big; a little too wide in the front foot section; even tried multiple sock layers to "make it work"; Returned only with regrets. Altrec service was great; easy return policy much-appreciated. Looking forward to future purchases.
March 15, 2010
Excellent Product - Excellent Service
A great lightweight, very comfortable boot, as others have mentioned it does fit a 1/2 possibly full size large. I normally wear a 10 1/2 or 11 and ordered a 10 based on reviews. The 10 fits me great. Service and delivery was excellent.
March 10, 2010
Too big!
Had to return mine. Nice looking but order 1 whole size down minimum. They also run quite wide.
March 6, 2010
Exactly what I needed
This boot is amazing. I got the lighter brown ones and they go great with a lot of my more casual clothes. Also feels very durable. It is definitely one whole size larger than your normal size. Luckily i read the reviews before i got it.
March 5, 2010
Great purchase
Your customer service was great. I ordered off of amazon and then checked back on your website, found a cheaper price and called CS and they refunded the difference. I will be back to order other items in the future.
February 13, 2010
Get a size down!!
Great boot. Very comfortable and waterproof. I wore them out in torrential rain the first time and my feet were totally dry. HOWEVER, definitely make sure you get a size down. i wear a US 9 and I got an 8.5, and they're still a bit big. Otherwise I love the boot. They have great traction on snow too.
January 28, 2010
Great boot
Very comfortable. Fit is a bit on the larger side.
January 22, 2010
Great boot. Well worth the money at this great price!
I would recommend these boots to any guy looking for a rugged yet stylish look. I've gotten lots of compliments on them. Please note, these boots run large. It was recommended to me to order a 1/2 size smaller and I did, but you will probably need a full size smaller for a snugger fit w/ regular socks.
January 22, 2010
great looking work boot
Boot runs larger by about 1/2 a size. Nicer looking than a regular work boot.
January 22, 2010
Well Recommended
Indeed water resistant Indeed stylish Indeed quite comfortable BUT...buy a size smaller for perfect fit. I typically wear 11.5, but had to buy a 10.5 for a true fit.
