A highlight of our Patent Leather collection is this women's 6-inch boot. Patent leather was developed more than 200 years ago to keep water and moisture away, so it only seemed right to make this boot waterproof. Seam-sealed and featuring an anti-fatigue removable footbed and rugged lug outsole, it's everything you expect from a quality crafted Timberland® boot, with a glimmer of the unexpected. By purchasing this product, you are supporting Leather Working Group certified tanneries https://www.leatherworkinggroup.com/ The ReBOTL™ material used in Timberland® apparel contains at least 40% recycled PET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate, the stuff plastic bottles are made of). The ReBOTL™ material used in Timberland® footwear and accessories contains at least 50% recycled PET. (Excepting trace materials) PrimaLoft® insulation is a soft, lightweight compressible down alternative insulation. It uses a patented microfiber structure to help retain warmth, even if the fibers get wet - helping you stay dry, warm and comfortable. A comfort system, adopted from Timberland PRO, designed with shock-absorbing, geometrical technology that returns energy back to the foot to deliver all-day support and comfort. Waterproof seam-sealed footwear includes waterproof leather for durable waterproof protection. Our waterproof footwear incorporates a variety of advanced waterproofing materials, treatments and processes. We start with waterproof leathers that are sealed as part of the tanning process; we then either seam-seal the footwear or use an internal waterproof breathable membrane to help feet stay dry. Tongues and zippers treated with durable water resistant coatings utilize integrated gussets, to further deter water entry.
