The sizes are in my opinion, unfortunately unusable or no helpful guidance in selecting the appropriate Timberland "Classic Boat". Here on the Amazon product page is noted under "details" that the model "a half-size smaller fails". Lt. Product description stipulates: "size sizes normal". Which remains an open question whether these tips the EU or the US sizes are meant. Also studying the reviews results inconclusive if the shoe does not fail now smaller or.
In nine out of ten cases, I come with the shoe size 42 can start right away. The shoes of various brands (eg. As Camper, Panama Jack, Snipe) usually fit me exactly in size 42 or 8.5. The Timberland "Classic Boat" I deliberately ordered in size 43 (ie an entire EU number larger than usual). One should, at least in my case, to the true, but rather are based on the US-sizes and place as size 9 (corresponds to 43) the same size 9.5 Select (43.5). At least my experience. I was the Timberland anyway in size 9 to small :(.
The processing of this very light shoe I would call good. Given the suggested retail price may be the well expected. The materials used make a good impression. The shoe is completely leather lined and very soft. Arch support is unlikely to be necessary. Experience regarding the durability of the model I have not.
The pair was delivered to me, incidentally manufactured in Bangladesh. A bit disappointing given the still very self-conscious pricing. Some selected models are here at Amazon, however, cheaper to buy. Between 80 and 90 I would consider this a shoe design, manufactured in the Far East for justifiable. Because of "cheap" can be seen in price regions of slightly below 100 probably not just talk. The selected model of mine in "earthy brown" there were at Amazon briefly times for fair 84th The requested retail price by almost 140, however, is yet lifted abundant and sometimes quite considerable, sometimes hourly price fluctuations do not quite understand.
