Timberland Boots

In 1973, the Timberland name was born. The name "Timberland" started as the brand name for their original waterproof boots, but when the boot popular, the company name was officially changed to The Timberland Company. Throughout the next couple of decades the range of products produced by Timberland grew to include casual and boat shoes and then clothing; all meant to reflect a rugged outdoor style.

Since the 1990's, Timberland boots have risen in popularity and taken on a new urban image. This image has been created and helped by various hip hop and rap celebrities such as Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, and Missy Elliot. Still, Timberlands shoes will always be functional and useful as trail and hiking wear and the urban jungle is not the first wilderness that comes to mind when we see a pair of Timberlands.
