Timberland boots

Learn more about these iconic boots!

Today on the EscapeShoes blog, we tell you everything to the last detail about these oh-so characteristic Timberland boots in yellow. Would you like to follow us in this adventure?

Of course if you go this article’s page, you’ll see it already has a description. However, we believe it’s crucial to give you more information about these great boots in this exclusive post.

We’re going to refresh your memory a bit about how they appeared in 1973. Everything has a why, a purpose and a specific receiver. In this case, they were created for lumberjacks who worked during harsh weather conditions, like heavy rain and snow, and, thanks to their yellow colour, they’re perfect so that you could distinguish them from afar. Isn’t it fascinating?

The best of all is that they’re 100% waterproof boots! How? Well, by taking advantage of these 3 basic elements:

Leather treated with silicone;
Inner waterproof membranes;
Seams thermo-sealed with latex.

Since we already mentioned their technologies, we’re going to keep going with PrimaLoft, which alludes to the brand’s relationship with the environment. They’re manufactured with a minimum of 50% of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate). It’s a recyclable plastic polymer with thermoplastic features. This means that, if you heat it up to the right temperature, it can be moulded again.

Furthermore, this technology tells us that their interior substitutes and simulates the classic goose feather filling. Comfort guaranteed!

What more makes these Timberland boots so comfortable? Among other things, their insoles and soles which include the Anti-Fatigue technology. We explain you all in detail in 3 simple sentences:

Midsole that disperses impact, thus giving comfort to your muscles, joints and bones;
Insoles with an area that absorbs impact in order to cushion and to accompany the foot’s natural movements;
Insoles with a structure of inverted cones that activate and improve blood circulation.

Now, did you think that with these three great technologies it was enough? In fact, there are many more details to mention that are important to you.

They’re made of mustard yellow nubuck, which also corresponds to a current trend that’s in fashion right now. It’s a soft and velvety material that you’ll be able to keep as new with Timberland’s care products. Where can you find them? At EscapeShoes, of course! Moreover, you can also consult our post about how to take care of your Timberland shoes.
Did you know they’ve a steel fibre in the midsole? Besides, the sole and the midsole are vulcanized, i.e. both rubber materials are submitted to heat and pressure to achieve a direct fusion. Have you really looked at their sole? You’ll be able to see two different colours, but the cut of the union is imperceptible. In turn, the sole’s joined to the leather with a Polyvinyl chloride seam, a plastic material that forms flexible particles.
Inside, they’re lined with naturally antibacterial leather, thus preventing the appearance of bad odours. But there’s still more, because they’ve a thermal fibre between this lining and the nubuck. This is how Timberland allows your feet to be kept at the ideal temperature with these yellow boots. Of course, we’ve to mention the padded protection they’ve on the dark brown collar.
Their eyelets are made of stainless steel and the shoelaces are made of Talsan nylon fibre, the most famous brand of thread made with compressed air.
To finish, this American brand reinforces the the heel and the sole of the foot, thus giving you more resistance and durability together with this unmatchable comfort.

You’ll find other types of yellow boots, but Timberland was the pioneer. And don’t feel dishearten, because even though they’re primarily used by lumberjacks, there are both men’s boots and women’s boots. For example, just check out how the celebrities wear them.

You don’t believe me? Then, see, for example, Justin Bieber, who matches them with grey clothes. We also have to mention Jay-Z with his rapper style and Kayne West with that amazing white jacket. And would you be able to wear them with such a daring look like Drake? You’d have to be very brave! And what do you say of Rihanna with her many accessories?
