This BED:STU Men's Uncle Dowell Boot (Black, size 9.5D) was my first purchase from Bed Stu, and probably my last.
I liked the style, and the price had dropped significantly, so I bought a pair. I normally wear a 9-9.5, and ordered a 9.5, thinking I'd rather it be a little too big than a little too small. When I first took them out of the box, I was surprised by how flimsy the leather is, and by the thinness of the sole. But, knowing I'd be wearing them in the summer, I thought that might be a good thing. What wasn't a good thing, though, was how small they were; before I even tried them on, I saw them in comparison to a similar pair of shoes I own (a size 9), and these "size 9.5D" Bed Stu shoes were obviously smaller, and narrower. But I put on a pair of thin socks & tried them on. These shoes are nowhere near a size 9.5D (medium) I'd say they fit like a size 8.5D or a 9 narrow.
Fortunately, Amazon has a great return policy, and I can send them back for free.I own three pairs of bed stu shoes. They are super comfortable and the styling is really great. I always get compliments on them.

Best Ben Sherman Aberdeen Boots Ankle Casual Boots Brown Mens Deals
Based on the price and the brand you would thing these are a premuim pair of shoes. Wrong! Withing 10 wears the soles were wearing and tearing off. I called the seller, Shoe Metro, and they said instead of returning for a refund that I should go to a local repair shop and get fixed. The local repair shop was also amazed at how cheap the soles were. He fixed for $50 and I submitted the receipt to Shoe Metro. They glady refunded me. Shoe Metro gets and A for service. Ben Sherman gets an F for prodcut performanceI bought these at Nordstrom for ~$70 on sale; they take a few wears to break in but they are dependable and well made. I've had them for about 6 months now as my go-to black leather shoe.

Timberland Men's Front Country Lite Chukka Boot Review
For whatever reason the folks at Timberland did not put real rubber on the entire bottom of these shoes. In those areas where the rubber is not real (some sort of softer rubber that is not fit for the soles of shoes) the shoes get worn out very quickly. Again I cannot think of a good reason for not coating the entire bottom of a walking shoe with rubber. WTF amazon. I estimate that these 100 dollar shoes will last 3 months because the tread will wear out quickly on the unprotected portions of the sole (after 1 week I can see the wear). Very disappointed.

Timberland Men's Heritage Premium Waterproof Chukka Boot Review
Timberland 50061 Newbuck Chukka is the same as this black chukka. This is THE most comfortable and lightweight all around no BS boot I've ever worn. There's no Thinsulate but it is very water "Proof" I'm sure you don't want to walk into a pool with them but again, they are great boots Make sure you get the 50061 they have a lighter sole than the other Timberland boots less "Beefy" I use them for work and for the gym as well. Just all around the best boots I've ever worn. For Deep snow I would say get an 8' at least boot but for hiking, gym, work from CA to NY the 50061 is great. The new buck gets dirty fast so get 2 pair. One for beating on and one for going out "styling" if you will. Again, very light weight, true to size can't beat em for under $100.00. Great for landscaping, hunting, you name it. If you need severe cold weather you may try something with an Insulate if not these are the best boots ever made. The Black model is a different # but exactly the same just in Black Leather.
Try to find laces at your local dollar store. My laces went on the 3rd year. I wish they came in a steel toe. These are the Original timberland old school no nonsense no fluff and very light. One thing they are not anti slip. I would say they are a great casual going out boot for every day, for hiking, or outdoor work. For slippery places try the Carolina brand they are USA Made. These Timberlan unfortunately are made in Taiwan. I'm paying a bit more now for boots buying only USA made like Carolina, Bates and Danner. These are probably the 3 best top of the line boots out there. There are a few other great ones but these are the 3 brands I'm using now. Timberland is a top of the line Commerical boot. Again, Buy USA, and our Japanese Friends as well as Mexico and Canada folks also Germany. I love these boots but after stocking up I'm only buying USA now. Farwell my fine foot friend. Timberland come back home to the USA!!!!!

I read reviews of these before buying this pair I have bought two pairs of Timberland boots before, one pair thats literally lasted app. 20 years with a lot of use, and another pair that only lasted two years. I received these in yesterday, and will update the review if they don't break in well or last. So far my impressions are 1. Accurate to size, 13w, I wear New Balance / Nike wide tennis shoes as additional reference 2. Comfortable, but not cushiony if you know what I mean, I wore them all day yesterday without blisters or sore spots 3. I was expecting non insulated boots, which I got, but these are still warm to hot gussetted tongue and no ventilation means these are not a boot I am looking forward to wearing on a construction site in the middle of a Texas summer. I have received in what I expected, and given Timberlands reputation and my exp I'm giving it 5 stars pending further experience with this pair of boots.Best Deals for Timberland Men's Heritage Premium Waterproof Chukka Boot
To date if I had to have 1 boot only it would be these in Brown, Black and Newbuck. Oh wait I do LOL. They have a fiberglass shank so they are VERY Light. They are great for farm, hiking and work. Very long lasting and waterproof design. They are very comfortable and are a great value if you can get them for your price. I've had a pair for the farm for 5 seasons and they are going strong. They do run true to size if anything they are 1/2 size over. I'm a 12 and have both 11.5 and 12's. I prefer the 11.5 though not much of a difference. The Nubuck are great but get dirty rally fast so I only use the nubuck for farm work. The Brown and Black are nice for keeping polished.Try to find laces at your local dollar store.

I must say that this shoe (because is to short to be call boot) is lightweight and looks cool; is wide ehought but the inside height in the toes area is narrow, so, you might have to use thight socks whit no extra padding like me (features socks are the ones i use) to feel confortable wearing this shoes.
