Timberland boots

If it seems to many that the American brand Timberland has existed for a long time in the market for high-quality and fashionable shoes, then by American standards it is a rather young brand. The history of the company dates back to 1973.

By the 1980s, Timberland had gained popularity with waterproof boots and a range of products for both everyday wear 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 more and more markets. In addition to shoes, she began to produce backpacks, watches and children's shoes under her name.

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

They have gained immense popularity outside the homeland. Not surprisingly, in 2015, the company's profit was $1.8 billion.

Timberland was the first to release its ads on television. Before that, no shoe brand did this.The company is also remembered for the fact that during the events of September 11, 2011 in New York, the company provided all 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 "timbs". So, how to wear these boots. First of all, decide on the style: classic plain or bright contrasting casual. Secondly, before putting on timbi, manufacturers advise spraying shoe protection spray on them to avoid stains and marks. And finally, wear such shoes with thick socks! Timberlands are made of very durable leather and trimmed with strong suede, so during the first couple of weeks of wearing, blisters are possible if the legs are not protected. And this is not the most pleasant, so arm yourself with warm thick socks.

Distinctive characteristics of boots:

• Handmade;
• Waterproof;
• Genuine leather of high quality;
• Use of raw materials recycled from plastic bottles;
• The laces are made from 100% recycled nylon;

Used technologies:

• PrimaLoft® ECO technology provides excellent thermal insulation;
• ANTI-FATIGUE technology prevents foot fatigue;
• Technologies using environmental protection tools.

To date, timberlands can be bought in both male and female designs, and even for children, although initially shoes were made exclusively for the stronger sex. The women's collection includes both winter and summer models. If winter, autumn and spring boots can be found in a variety of colors, then 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, for women the range is slightly wider: you can find boots with a high top, laced and without, leather and suede, and even with heels and wedges.

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

The question of how to distinguish the original from a fake is asked by many buyers when buying timberlands. Due to the fact that all the production departments of the company were moved to the Dominican Republic and China a long time ago, the names of these countries are written on the originals. Counterfeits still say "Made in the USA". So here are the top 5 things you need to pay attention to.

• Inspect the product very well from all sides. Feel the skin, it should be thick, durable and even rough.
• Pay attention to the seams: they should have the same pitch and be located at an equal distance between them.
• Make sure the seams are strong.
• The circled "R" must also be printed on the side of the heel above the word Timberland.

Consider carefully the label "Tree":

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