Timberland: boots from New Hampshire
What kind of brand is Timberland?

What are “Timbs”?
“Timbs,” along with “Butters,” is a slang name customers gave Timberland boots.

W their work, they were featured by Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Tupac Shakur, and The Notorious B.I.G., among others.

Timberland fit and sizing
For the Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot, Timberland notes that the boot runs large and recommends choosing half a size smaller for a fit like your everyday shoes, or a full size smaller for US size 12 and up. W its fit guide, the brand adds that your sneaker size may not always work for boots and recommends measuring your foot for both length and width. According to Timberland, a well-fitting boot should hug the foot without pinching, and the heel may lift by no more than a quarter to half an inch, or about 0.6-1.3 cm.
