What to know about Timberland
Timberland makes waterproof leather boots, footwear and outdoor apparel, built around the 6-Inch Premium "yellow boot" that became a hip-hop and streetwear staple.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boots | runs large | roomy with a wide toe box and generous volume | Size down a half size from your measured size; thick socks can help fill extra volume, and the leather requires minimal break-in. |
| Sneakers | slightly large | regular to slightly roomy volume | Consider a half size down if you prefer a snug fit, otherwise take your normal size. |
| Jackets | true to size | regular, room for light layering | Take your usual size; outerwear leaves room for a mid-layer. |
