Timberland is one of the oldest shoes in history, and it isn’t just old but it’s also in trend till this day.
In 1918, Timberland founder Nathan Swartz began his shoe-making career in Boston, Massachusetts, as an apprentice stitcher.
In 1952, Swartz bought half an interest in The Abington Shoe Company in Abington.
In 1955, Swartz bought the remaining interest and brought his sons into the company.
In 1973, the brand name “Timberland” was introduced for the waterproof leather boots produced by the company. Because the boot proved to be very popular, the company name was officially changed to The Timberland Company.
In a nutshell that’s how the Timberland story started and many people still wonder why the Timberland is one of the most respected shoe brands in the world till date; I have six reasons why Timberland is still a must for everyone;
1. IT IS UNISEX

Timbs as it’s also called is one of the few shoe brands out there that’s for every gender; male and female, and still make them look good. Minus its unisex value, it’s also for everyone; it has different sizes, from little kids to even the biggest of feet.
2. IT’S VERSATILE
Timberland doesn’t just fits but it fits different wears. Ladies can style their timbs with a pair of leggings, it can go with regular jeans, you can even take some risk and swag it up with skirts and still look amazing. Likewise men, blue jeans, brown jeans, chinos, Timberland is the perfect fit.
3. DURABILITY
Timberland is one of those shoes you can wear for years and it would still be solid. Nothing gets more frustrating than buying a pair of shoe and it needs stitching all of a sudden – not the Timberland. Come rain, come sun, Timberland is one for every weather.
4. ADDS HEIGHT
Without doubt, the Timberland boots would effortlessly lift your height to a more desirable position. Timberland adds height ad still makes you look fashionable with ease; that’s a killer.
5. NEVER OUTTA FASHION
Mark my words, “even in the next 20 years, the Timberland would still be fashionable”. Timberland just has a way of staying relevant no matter what and the simple reason is that it fits perfectly. It gives a swag which no other shoe would give you.
6. GIVES A DIFFERENT LOOK
Timbs would definitely give you a different look when you put it on; it has this unique feature which just makes its effect different; and who doesn’t love different?
I’ve always been a fan of Timberland boots; and no matter what. Timberland is one boot that wouldn’t leave my wardrobe anytime soon.
