Timberland Earthkeepers?

ManidipaM

Anyone have any experience with this brand? Or the mother brand (Timberland) alone? I'm trying to decide if they're worth putting on my 'watch list'.

I went window shopping yesterday, and fell in lust a little with these:

and

I've a friend who gave their signature yellow boots RAVE reviews (and she has small fussy feet like me). I'm also enamoured of the idea of using recycled materials in production -- always a sucker for these! BUT....These are VERY expensive for me --- I didn't even dare to try them on. Which I'm now regretting. But can anyone speak for/against their quality and comfort? And of course, feel free to dissuade me if you see the frump factor at work!

I've never tried the Earthkeepers Timberland brand but I've owned a few pairs of Timberland boots before. They were quite comfortable, though the zipper broke because I have muscular calves.

The shoes you showed us are cute! It's worth a shot! I'm not sure if you have fussy feet like myself but back when my feet are less than fussy, I thought Timberlands were amazingly comfortable.

I have the Timberland Stratham Heights boots and they are very comfortable! Neat that they make Mary Janes with the similar design! I may have to check them out!

I also have the Stratham Heights boots (thanks to goldenpig's inspiration) and like them too! I'm also a fan of timberland's ethics. I've worn the boots 50 times so far this fall/winter, and the quality is excellent so far, plus they're comfy!

Oh goodie! Thanks, ladies --- I might just have to bite the bullet in a month or two (I'm trying to at least skew close to SYC until then).

MsKatieKat, thanks for the hardware warning --- I'll have to check about repairs with the store (whether they undertake them at all --- I'm not sure I want pale suede shoes on the roadside cobbler's last!)
