The brand’s founder, Nathan Swartz, developed the first waterproof boots together with his son, Sidney. The son decided to build a brand around the boots – and so the Timberlands were born.

In 1973, the first model to reach legendary status was released: the Timberland Boot with an 8-inch shaft. Three years later came the 6-inch version, which remains the best-selling model to this day.

Today, the manufacturer’s production is divided into three categories: work, everyday wear and hiking.

Timberland’s products are made by over 250,000 craftspeople, in more than 300 factories across 30 different countries. The company has a long tradition of providing its workers with a fair, safe and equal workplace that does no harm to its employees or local communities.
