Why the yellow boot became the yellow boot

Timberland's original waterproof boot came out of New Hampshire in the early 1970s, built for men working outdoors in wet, cold conditions. The innovation was injection moulding the sole directly to the leather upper, removing the stitching line where water normally gets in. That construction is still the basis of the range.

Which style

The 6-Inch Premium — the original. Nubuck upper, padded collar, genuinely waterproof. The warmest and bulkiest thing in the range.

Chukka and desert boots — lower, lighter, less obviously a work boot. Easier with chinos and a jacket.

Shoes and loafers — the smartest end, still with the comfort sole underneath.

Caring for nubuck

Nubuck should not be polished. Brush it dry to lift the nap and use a spray protector before the first wear rather than after the first soaking. Salt and water marks lift with a nubuck rubber, not with water.

What to wear them with

Straight or slim-straight jeans rather than skinny, and a jacket with some structure. A chukka works well with chinos and an overshirt. Browse the full shoes and boots range, or call in to Ennis to get sized properly. Click and collect available on everything.
