When looking for a pair of work boots that can work as well in the yard as out of it, you must account for a few different variables. While you definitely want all the protection and support that you’d expect from a work boot, You may also need a lower profile and something a bit more mobile than your standard boot.

The Pros:
- A Trusted Boot: This is the boot that the members at the office of our sister company, Rockaway Recycling, gravitate towards. As these members see a variety of terrain but spend most of their time indoors, this boot lends itself to a user who needs the safety of a work boot but also spends a good chunk of their work day indoors and wants the comfort and support of a standard shoe.
- Comfortable for the Long Haul: One of the standout features of this boot compared to others we have reviewed is its surprisingly quick break-in period. When you’re on your feet all day, comfort has to be a priority, and these boots deliver on that, which makes them an ideal choice for those in the scrap recycling industry.
- Incredibly Lightweight: The design of these boots lends itself to users doing various activities. The polyurethane-coated split suede leather upper adds durability. It keeps the boots light, allowing for ease of use for our team members at Rockaway Recycling, who also have to tend to matters inside an office where they may be constantly on the go between meetings or desks. The boot also boasts a steel toe, which gives them the safety and peace of mind they need when out in the yard or at the scale.
- Sustainably Sourced Materials: While the cement construction ensures flexibility, the abrasion-resistant, non-marking Timberland PRO® rubber outsole delivers superior traction on all surfaces. And most importantly, Timberland has created a new lining made of ReBOTL™ material, which contains at least 50% recycled plastic.
The One Con:
While these boots offer year-round reliability, it’s worth noting that in colder months, some of our team members found it beneficial to pair them with warmer socks for added insulation. This minor adjustment ensures the boots remain comfortable and functional in diverse weather conditions. We feel that this doesn’t overly detract from this boot’s many positives.
