Timberland Cadion Waterproof Mid

At best these boots are supportive and allow the miles to go by easily. At worst so uncomfortable that a level three mile walk hobbled me.

I have had four pairs, replaced by Timberlands Extraordinary returns policy. The first pair I had the cleats broke (a common problem).

I got these as a free replacement for an older pair of Timberland boots that fell apart. Timberland service is amazing. I picked these off a website but they just did not fit me well, and never got comfortable (I tried 2 sizes too).

I have wide feet and they seemed to be just too narrow (did not come in wide) and a local cobbler would not stretch them as there was some rubber around the base.

I own a pair of Men's Cadion Mid Dark Grey w/ Gore-Tex XCR® Membrane, and have used them for a couple of backpack trips. I have been backpacking for over 15 years, and have logged over a two thousand miles. I have owned three other pairs of backpacking boots.

My first hike with these boots was in rain, up and down a steep rocky and muddy trail, some slickrock and 2" puddles. The Cadions are light, comfortable, and the traction was incredible, even from the mud to rock transitions. Uneven footing on the rocks was met with firm ankle support.
