In 1973, the Timberland name was born as the brand name for an original waterproof leather boot. Timberland added casual and boat shoes to its line, expanding into a globally recognized lifestyle footwear brand, selling to millions of people. Timberland sets new industry standards for craftsmanship, durability and protection. Timberland consumers value Timberland's leadership in the use of both sustainable and recycled materials in its shoes. During activity, your foot goes through four motions: braking, supporting, flexing and propelling and follows a curved center of pressure path. Timberland's engineers have devised B.S.F.P.™ lugs aligned along this center of pressure path to deliver improved traction and longer wearing performance.
