Youth's classic Timberland 6" boot - in stock
Had to modify my last blog entry as the 'kids' boot turned out to be more of a youth's, starting at size 3 to 6 and a half. Sorry about that George - thanks to David and Clare for bringing that to my attention! For kids boots, we have a good range of Dr Martens kids boots over at our Dr Martens site.

Crafted in premium, full-grain leather and constructed to be sturdy and waterproof, Timberlands Youth's 6 Inch Premium Boots are rugged and dependable, just like the grown up version. We also have some proper kids sizes of the pink Timberland Splitrock which run from a kids size 12 to a size 2, and the Timberland Euro Sprint which starts at a 2.

New stock of Timberland clothing and some sale shoes - June 2009
Just added a lot of new Timberland clothing items ready for June 2009 - also a few end of lines on various Timberland men's shoes and boots - click the 'Clothing sale' link for full details.

Looking for Laces?
The Timberland UK store has ridiculous postage rates for laces; we reccomend the 'Big Laces' site for a great choice and very reasonable prices & p&p!

Timberland Classic Boat Shoes are Back!
Seems ages since we last had these in and they're proving to be just as popular as they ever were. I know you've missed them too as you've been emailing me to ask why we had none! Available in navy and a couple of brown shades, the Timberland boat is made with premium full grain leathers and hand sewn vamp for comfort, good looks and durability.

New range of Timberland watches
After wearing my trusty Seiko watch since I was 16, it's now past repairing and I've bought myself a rugged-looking Timberland watch. I've been so pleased with the purchase, that I've added a Timberland watch to the site, all prices just short of £50, so undercutting most high-street stores. While stocks last only.

New Spring 2009 Collection
At last - it's taken until nearly March, but we finally have new Timberland stock in today! New hiking boots, new Earthkeeper stock and some new kids/youths classic Timberland 6" boots.

Spring 2009 Season knee-length boots
Just in are stocks of three new knee-high women's boots - the Timberland Atrus (in tan) and Timberland Otaru (in tan and brown). All are practical, comfortable and elegant and the Otaru features some recycled content for a little extra 'eco-friendliness'!

New Timberland boots
A few new products have made it to us early in 2009. There's a tough-looking addition to the Timberland Earthkeepers range - the 'Renovation'. In the same range, the Earthkeepers Chukka from Timberland has all the practical comfort you expect - the Smart Comfort system reduces the impact of each step - but one or more major components contains at least 50% recycled PET, the plastic used to make soda bottles

New Timberland Hiking Boot
The Timberland Splitrock has long been one of our top-sellers throughout 2007 & 2008. For 2009, Timberland have introduced the "Euro Sprint" in black/silver, chocolate and black. This tough and waterproof Timberland boot is designed to offer maximum comfort with extra style. Made with premium leathers, the comfort comes from the padded collar and tongue and the EVA midsole, while the toughness includes a protective toe bumper. The eye-catching style includes a metallic badge and eyelets, making this boot a more fashionable alternative to Timberland's classic range while retaining all the practicality. My prefererence is for the brand new grey Timberland Skyhigh Rock.

White is the 'New Black'?
After the introduction of Dr. Martens all-white boots, Timberland have joined the fun in playing "where did I leave my boots outside now that it's been snowing", with the new Timberland 6" Prem Roll Top; - White inners, white leather, white laces and white rubber soles.

Timberland Bags
We've had to reduce the Timberland bags pages on this site as our original supplier retired, but we now have a new range, albeit limited.

Better than Uggs?
If you like the idea of sheepskin Uggs, but are worried about the effects of oue wet winters (and summers!), then this Timberland leather shoe with roll-down sheepskin lining may be just the thing for you! Crafted in premium, full-grain leather with a luxurious shearling quarter-panel that can be worn up or folded down to show of the luxery! Constructed to be sturdy and waterproof.

New Boots
There are quite a few new style ladies boots from Timberland for the Winter. We like the dark buckle effect on the wheat leather style, which is available as a 14" knee-high boot or as an ankle boot.

New Sustainable directory
The Guardian web site now has an interactive section on sustainable fabrics in footwear. While the Timberland Earthkeepers aren't yet listed, we're sure that's just an oversight ;-)

Where are Timberland Boots made?
The answer is "All over the world" - Timberland use subcontractors in the USA, across Asia, and even in the UK. This 128kB pdf document gives a snapshot of the Timberland subcontractor list as of Summer '08.

Hope you're enjoying some holidays!
Make sure you take time off work and enjoy a holiday break - however short! I've just come back from the South of France, and even though it was only a quick 48-hour Summer Holidays this year, it was great fun! So, now I'm back, refreshed, there's a few prices to alter... A nice summery wedge sandal for women, the Timberland Kadri is further reduced from £54.95 down to just £39.95 and we've a new range of Timberland Duneblaster sports sandals for young people - boys and girls. All at very reasonable prices.

What would you like to see?
The design of this site is quite old, and we're looking at some changes. What would you like to see in the way it's arranged? Perhaps separate categories for men, women and kids? Tell us on by emailing John.

Summer Sizzlers
A few notable price reductions have just come in. Our top-selling men's shoe - the Timberland Black SplitRock 73 is a tenner less at just £69.95, the Timberland Tan Earthkeeprrs Chukka boot is down £5 at £74.95 and the Timberland Black Premium 6"work boot is now just shy of £100.

In the woman's selection, the popular Timberland Kadri wedge sandal is a sizzling £10 less at just £54.95 and the Timberland Wheat Smooth Rock ankle boot down a whopping £34.95 to just £55!

Timberland Earthkeeper Channel
Timberland are keen to spread the word about their long-standing green credentials. Now, some may think that a company using animal skins for clothing can't be all that ecological, but that's a minority point of view and not one which I share. While many companies such as some big UK supermarkets have jumped on the 'green bandwagon' purely for marketing purposes, Timberland have always been committed to having a social responsibility and helping to improve the environment. So, now, they've opened up a new 'Earthkeepers" web-site to tell you more about how they feel about the subject. This includes a blog, information about their eco-projects and details of the Earthkeepers boots - of course, come back here to buy them at a discount! There's also a YouTube channel here and this is the YouTube video that explains Timberland's Earthkeeper principles. Our medium brown Earthkeeper and a much darker brown Earthkeeper are available in stock.
