Timberland Shoes

Timberland Shoes or Timbos or Timbs, as it is affectionately called by its fans, is a popular brand of outdoor footwear from The Timberland Company stable. Although started off as a company that made rugged outdoor boots suitable for hiking and mountaineering, Timberland soon graduated to more fashionable waterproof boots and shoe models, but without detaching itself much from its very roots. Today, Timberland shoes epitomizes the marriage of ruggedness and fashion, making it one of the most sought after foot wears, especially youngsters in their early twenties. A recent market study has shown that Timberland boots has most patrons amongst the European-American, West Indian, and Latin youths in New Jersey, NYC, and Connecticut areas.

Timberland was founded by Nathan Swartz, who began is life amid shoes as a stitching apprentice with a shoe company in Boston in 1918. It will take another three more decades before he would start his own company, by buying half the stake in The Abington Shoe Company, which until then thrived on undertaking contract works for other shoe makers. By 1955, he bought complete stake in the company, and he made his first kill in the market in 1960 with the introduction of then innovative injection molding technology into shoe making. A technique of connecting the shoe upper to the soles sans any stitching by machine, thereby eliminating any tiny holes through which water could seep inside the shoes, it soon revolutionized the footwear industry at large, and Timberland’s waterproof boots soon became a hit in the market. In fact, ‘Timberland’ was the name of Nathan Swartz' company’s popular waterproof boots, and seeing its popularity, the company officially renamed itself as The Timberland Company in the 70s.

On the shoe technology front, Timberland stands out from its competitors, thanks to its innovative Timberland technology that renders its shoes adaptable to any terrain and in all conditions. For example, the Timberland brand comes with premium leather and air mesh design provide a breathable, light weight support, the patented stability plate provides stability to the foot, forefoot plate to flex while running making every stride a comfortable experience, low friction toe guard to provide friction without causing drag, and a light weight gripping outsole that clings on to virtually any surface on earth. Its fashionable shoe models such as lounger comes with a skin friendly inner sole material that is not only odor free but also keeps the feet dry with or without using socks. Other features of Timberland shoes/boots include temperature regulation mechanism, cushioning and shock absorbing midsole, and starburst to keep sole in place irrespective of whether the person is running, climbing or simply walking down the street. The outer leather is soft, waterproof, and hence easy to clean/wash, and abrasion resistant.
