This shoe is the last complete leather shoe from Timberland. There's nothing plastic or rubber, other than the sole. Therefore, it is one of the most pleasant shoes that only exist at all. one does not sweat in it and you do not freeze. no matter what the weather. In addition, it is made in the Dominican Republic and not - as now almost every other Timberland shoes - in China.
Anyone can try out the self: buy a shoe and smell them. One notices that many chemicals that goes into most shoes already on the nose and the strange smell. Also leather that smells very strongly of leather is not quite kosher. Good leather smells slightly, nothing more.
The supposedly not very durable sole is just a compromise. A good, natural rubber or rubber sole running off quite fast. If it lasts longer, it must be significantly harder, less comfortable. Then probably prefer comfortable. If you want longer lasting soles, can buy chemical sneakers. As the sole still holds when they do not need more shoes.
And for the price. Most people seem to be used to pay for shoes no more than seventy euros. These are as mentioned above already erwöhnten chemical shoes, then fairly decent outweigh its price with skin problems and incompatibilities and other ailments - everyone can decide for themselves.
For good, partly handmade leather shoes this price is very low. Wers not believe, can indeed times a bit to deal with leather qualities and good shoes like Allen Edmonds, Dinkelacker, Heschung, Alden or Wolverine 1000 Mile. And then because of the prices surprised.
Who knows how important good shoes and that 3-4 pairs of shoes are sufficient, like paying a fair price. And the support quality through the right choice.
I hope this review has voted a few people think.
