In the long history of work boots, only a few are truly iconic. In that regard, respect is certainly owed to the likes of the Red Wing Classic Moc and Dr. Martens 1460. But there’s another that stands right along with them: the Timberland 6-Inch Boot.
Like the Red Wings and Docs, these Timberlands have a cultural significance that extends well beyond the workplace — especially in the world of hip-hop — making them a style staple that has transcended their origins and seen countless iterations emerge, as a result.
And yet, none of the brand’s iconic boots have ever looked quite like the new, craft-focused Timberland Textured Premium 6-Inch Boots.
Woven wonder
Funny enough, these new boots don’t actually differ in their silhouette or materials. Instead, that eye-catching upper is entirely the result of craftsmanship.
The boots are still made from the same full-grain leather as always. There’s just a twist to how they were built. Instead of a few solid pieces of standard leather, the upper — specifically, the toe and shank — is woven.
