Timberland PRO Men's Titan Casual Work Oxford Shoes

My employer has started mandating that we all must wear slip-resistant shoes. So, I started researching slip-resistant shoes and what better place to start said research than Amazon. My first choice was Dr. Martens. But, for some dumb reason, Dr. Martens does not make a shoe in the half-size. WHY WOULD A SHOE MAKER OMIT HALF THE WORLD'S POPULATION FROM BUYING THEIR SHOES BU NOT MAKING SHOES IN HALF SIZES? This being said, I did narrow my search to two shoes: The Caterpillar Ridgemont and the Timberland PRO Titan Soft-Toe Lace Up. The Ridgemont was a about $12 less expensive, but there was a review that said the shoe had issues when wearing orthotics (I need orthotics). It was also available in black, my preferred color. The Titan had better Amazon overall reviews and no one listed issues with orthotics, but was not available in black. I ended up choosing the Titan because I liked it's looks, expect to have no issues with orthotics, and because of the better reviews. I have to say that I am thrilled with my decision. This shoe is COMFORTABLE. And I feel very confident when walking on wet or slippery floors. The leather is very soft and supple. Maybe too much so. A slight drawback is the shoe shows scuffs very easily...maybe because the leather is so soft. At work, where I am on my feet every minute of an 8-hour day, my feet are not worn, tired, or sore by day's end. And, because my feet are comfortable at the end of the work day, I am not all worn out and tired at the end of the day, either. My only concern is durability. With them scuffing up so easily, I hope they don't fall apart quickly. I am assuming that the uppers are genuine leather and will hold up over time. And, if so, I will be extremely happy. I love these shoes. They are the best, most comfortable work shoes I have ever had on my feet. I highly recommend the Timberland PRO Titan Soft Toe Lace-Up Shoe. UPDATE Well, it's been about 2 1/2 years with these shoes and I still like these shoes. One issue has developed. A hole has developed the upper of the right shoe. It started about 2 years after I purchased them. I didn't know what to do about it, so I just put a little dab of glue to cover the hole. I have to do this about once a week. The hole has been getting bigger and I decided to purchase some Timberland PRO Men's Stockdale Grip Max OX Alloy Toe Work and Hunt Boots. I thought I'd try these...just because. The Pro Titans were an excellent shoe. They were comfortable and lasted 2 1/2 years. Not bad. Just wish the uppers were a little more durable. The soles still show little wear and look like they can easily go another 2 1/2 years.

I LOVE this shoe. It is the most comfortable shoe I own. They’re fantastic for walking on cement floors for hours at a time or outside landscaping. I’m on my second pair and once they’re in stock again I’ll buy my third pair. And if they made them in all black, NO steel toe, I’d own a fourth pair and wear them for work too.

As an industrial salesman I spend a lot of time traveling rushing through airports and stand for long periods either in a convention or on concrete shop floors. I have poor knees and recent surgery. I tried keen, mephisto, and rockport. On one hand you want cushion, but also need support. I have owned the Timberland titan pro boot for my work shop for over 10 years. They are great. So, I decided to try the oxford version (soft toe). Also, my choice for footwear is limited since I wear size 15 for most imported shoes. The timberland are size 14 M and there is plenty of room ! After wearing them for the past 3 days, my knees do not hurt. I will say that unlike most oxfords, the ankle portion in higher up. It takes some getting used to, but they will break in. I like that they are higher, it prevents scraps from falling in your shoe. Lots of toes soCe. I can wear a thicker sock or add a better insole. Excellent shoes. They are made in China. But, in my opinion, these are better than my Mephisto which cost $ 450 made in Portugal.

These are good shoes. I work as a mechanic in a shop with a smooth concrete floor and lots of goo on the floor. My feet get sore easily so I'm pretty picky and they have met my standards. These are the things I look for: The collar doesn't cause any ankle pain. The tread doesn't pick up too much junk. The eyelets are metal so that the laces can pull tight easily. The sole stays attached to the shoe (so far). This is a big problem in a car repair shop. The chemicals tend to unglue shoes. Not these. The foot bed below the insole is flat. Lots of shoes curl the leather under but don't fill in the depression in the middle of the foot bed. These don't have that problem. The insole is for real, not like so many others that turn to mush in a day or two. This is almost an orthotic insole. They look nice. Ok, they are work shoes, not dancing shoes but they do look decent. My feet tend to get hot. These haven't had the problem so far. I don't like shoes with lots of padding. They aren't really light but they are lighter than some. They are light enough while being substantial. The soles grip well in the worst conditions. Many supposedly oil and slip resistant shoes get mighty slick on smooth concrete if there is even the hint of oil or water. Not these. I have yet to have a problem with grip. I presume if I step on a big glob of grease on the floor they couldn't grip through that but so far they have held on over everything else. I'm really sensitive to this issue. Some people seem to think that lots of tread pattern equals grip bit it isn't so. Look at the soles on these. They have very few tread lines but the grip like mad. I have done nothing to water proof these boots because they don't need it. I've been in water and slush this winter and even the seams haven't leaked. Very impressive to me. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they are too wide. I got the narrowest ones in my length and they are still a little loose side to side.

I spend a lot of time on my feet, generally on hard surfaces 8-10 hours per day and I'm always looking for a pair of work shoes (or boots) that don't leave my feet aching at the end of the day. While I'll gladly pay a bit more for comfort, these Timberland Pro Titan's meet both of those needs - comfort and a reasonable price. Fit is true to size and there was little to no break-in period. The only unknown is durability but after a couple of months of wear, they seem to be holding up well. These may be replacing my beloved Keens as my go-to work shoe! It's now June 2018 (I bought the Titan's in September 2017) and I've worn them 6-7 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts per day. Unfortunately I think they have reached the end of their useful life. While the leather and soles have held up, I think whatever cushioning is built into the shoe simply wears out or maybe more accurately compresses to the point that it no longer does its job. Time for a new pair...

Great work shoes for my husband

This is the only type of shoe I wear for the last 10 years.Hope it doesn't stop making it

Looked better in the photos on line. In person just not what I'd expected. The fit wasn't bad, they were quite comfortable but something didn't feel dependable, perhaps the low cut and exposed ankles. Such a heavy clunky shoe at the bottom of skinny ankle felt like disaster was inevitable with no ankle support.

Fit perfectly! Husband loved them!

Zapatos muy cómodos, de muy buenos materiales y acabados, no son muy ligeros pero si se ven muy duraderos.

Tratandose de un Producto de Timberland, no es extraño que la calidad de los materiales y su manufactura sea excelente pero su tiempo de entrega por medio de Amazon dejo mucho pero mucho que desear y puso en riesgo la fecha de un viaje

Es el producto que yo esperaba, además de gran calidad, sirve para su propósito, estoy a gusto con mi compra

excelente producto....comodo para uso rudo ligero...funcional...
