- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2024
- Timberland is a huge corporation but also has one of the most eco-conscious range of products. This is their Original Earthkeepers introduced in 2007 and using a majority of recycled materials in their sole construction, lining and even laces. While made of many panels like Frankenstein's Monster, it has an interesting rugged vibe and is kind to the world.

Who Am I?
I am a Management Consultant in real life but in my Bootlosophy channel, I make videos about boots and all things boot related. This channel posts reviews of boots, unboxing of new boots, and follow up reviews, and in doing so, may explore the philosophy of the brands from time to time!
I have owned boots for decades, but to be honest I have owned them as functional pieces of footwear. It wasn't until early 2020 when COVID struck that I started online shopping boots to an obsessive degree. I love the aesthetic of boots and I love finding out more about how they are made. I now own an insane number of boots, and one day I may sell some of them (just not right now).

I gotta say, you make the kind of boot videos I want to watch.
Finally a decent review of Timberland's Earthkeeper. I already have a few pairs of proper Goodyear welted boots so I'm looking at this one just to have a bit of variety but there's no decent reviews in TH-cam until now. Cheers Teik! All the best to your channel ❤️
Your boot review was truly outstanding, showcasing your exceptional communication skills. I find your style reminiscent of Jordan Peterson, which I greatly admire. Furthermore, there's an evident peace about you from what I can see that suggests a person at ease in their later years. I'm confident that if you were to start a "life and wisdom" channel, you'd quickly amass a substantial and dedicated subscriber base, thanks to your engaging and soothing tone.
Awesome review! Love listening to all of the knowledge you provide on these boots- from the manufacturer's history to the boots themselves. These Earthkeepers are actually my first step into the world of boots- I usually wear vans/converse, and these Earthkeepers are a super comfortable boot- they feel just like my high tops! The only thing I would add to your review: the loops on the heel are super helpful to slide the laces through- its a common style here in the US to loop your laces around the shaft of the boot and tie them off at the front like normal. Keep the videos coming! I'd love to see more about boots at this price point for people like me who are just getting into buying boots and are cost-conscious.
Very professional review
Very informative review and explaning the usage of boots and finally i able to follow the steps on how to clean earthkeepers
I got lucky and found a pair at Goodwill for 20.00 bucks. It's almost new. The thing is people call them Frankenstein boot looking, but if you really look at moc toe boots, they really look more like Frankenstein boots, especially in black . With timberlands you do have to go down a full size that seems to be the main problem with the brand I wear a size 9.5 the boots I bought are a 9 but fit like a 10 so I have to add extra insoles and thick socks other than that great boots very comfortable. I like this gentleman he's very through with the history of different brands and styles
Very nice review! I just got these and it’s extremely soft as you say. The sizing is important like you say. Order 1/2 minimum size under your usual size. I ordered 1 full size lower and it still has room. I could go even lower but I’m satisfied with 1 size down. Very comfortable as you say! Great video!
I absolutely agree with this comment. My true to size sizing is 11 1/2, I prefer my sneakers, such as nike or new balance, in 12s. My earth keepers are 10s , if they were 10 1/2... It would be to snug.
I’ve long been tempted by these boots but have never been fully comfortable with their quality, so I’ve paid a little more for a Thursday boot. I agree with you that they look a bit like a hunter’s boot
I got a pair of these for $50 new back in the day. Never get a leather boot for that cheap now. I Wish I had kept them and resoled them with a leather midsole. Used them for hiking and every day wear.
Greetings from Singapore. In one of your videos you mentioned SAF. I nearly fell off my chair. 😊
amazing review..i just got my 1st Timberland (Briton X Harris Tweed) a few days ago & loving them..
Im flat footed 112 kg with 5'9 height..When I first wear them my 1st impression was "the boots wont support my balance as much as my other goodyear welted boots". But after putting them on & walked for a few hours then somehow its felt comfortable & Ok..
Just to share that i had my Bariatric Surgery 6 months ago & i had lost 39 kg so far..
when i was at 151kg (pre surgery) & i have gout & arthritis then. The only boots that im comfortable wearing for all day long are only boots from these 2 brands - Truman & Trickers..
I own a few Loakes, Carlos Santos, Edward Greens, Helms & Wolverine s & almost all of them been torturing me then..
Now my heath improving significantly & im enjoying Timbs without worrying that my arthritis will bother me 😂
Great collection of boots. I hope your health journey goes up and up!
So informative. Thanks!!!
Cool shoe! I definitely like it more then the traditional nubuck timberland but most because im tired of seeing them all my life. I live in Massachusetts and theyve been popular all my life 😂
But these look neat. Its just strange since theyre almost a work boot but not so durable to make a great boot. They definitely look like a work boot though. Interesting design nonetheless and great review 😊
Thank you. Yeah, it’s a weird boot, looks like a work boot but no way would I put them anywhere near tools!
Thank you very much for this excellent boot review!
I gotta say that I like this channel I got a question what pair of jean are you wearing when modeling the boots? Sorry for the question is just that they look great.
Fabulous channel sir
I have a pair that I got over 10 years ago. I virtually never wear them anymore, but the best way to describe them is a sneaker disguised as a boot. They fit/wear like a large high top sneaker. They are way too flimsy to be a real boot.
这鞋子转移到越南产后质量差了好多。我穿了一星期鞋头的固定板就脱落了,必须拆解才能修好,现在维修过后无法达到原来的状态。我说的正是timberland 15551
Hi, should I use the waximum first then the all purpose spray? Or the other way around?
I like those alot
Great review! you recommend this for walk in city or keep in short journey?
I think they’re pretty comfy so walking in the city should be fine
Sounds like a South African accent... Bought a pair yesterday and was wondering about the loops up and down the rear... As you say, seem to have no specific purpose whatsoever... Thanks for the review...
🤣🤣I’ve grown up and lived all over the world so picked up a mongrel accent!
Aussie not South African
Do u live in south Africa and if so we're did u buy yours.. Richard Malcom
Hello, great video! Can you share what shoe filler you use for this?
“Filler”? What do you mean?
@@Bootlosophy you mentioned you put a foam to help with the larger size of the boot, did you use any special kind of foam for that?
@@alexdeleon894 oh you mean insole. I used Dr Scholl insoles.
Are these good to wear in spring/summer, or are they too warm?
Too warm IMO
I want one of this but it's not available in my country can anyone help
I can, where are you from?
I bought several pairs of Timberlands in my youth, but the quality seems to be lacking nowadays....at least in America. Do you guys get better quality Timberlands in Australia? They do look quite nice
Unfortunately I think since the late 90s when they really went into “streetwear” their quality has been hit and miss. Probably due to their massive world expansion. But I’ve been very lucky with my boots from them.
@@Bootlosophy By chance, have you ever considered a pair of Nicks boots? They make my Grant Stones (which I love, by the way) feel like sneakers. I think you would dig their Officer boot in veg tan.
@@wecanjump7512 I have absolutely considered Nicks but the wait is frightening 🤣🤣🤣. If I spot a good one on eBay, I’m on it!
I had tried on the boots as shown on the video. The timberland shop assistance bought under staff price for his own wear. I was very impressed n very comfortable initially when i tried on in the timberland shop n almost bought it. One day i passed by the clobber n saw the the timberland model sent for repair. I asked the clobber whats the problem with the boots? He replied the mid rubber sole separated. I decided not to buy due the poor quality.
there is a shank
These boots are bad for the environment because you can’t resole it
