The past few years have been good for Timberland. This year marked the 50-year anniversary of their iconic 6-inch boot and at the same time, the boot has seen a massive increase in popularity, with social press influencers styling them instead of their sneakers. Perhaps some of this is authentic, but it takes a cynic to see a big marketing spend for what it is.

Regardless, I have always been a big fan of the 6-inch boot, and the last few years have been a better time to buy them than ever before. When you go for the general release pairs, you can buy the classic “butters,” or go for their various soft-feel shades, from a nice matcha green to a chic charcoal. On the other hand, when you want to go more high-fashion, there are a range of pairs you can go for, and I still hope to one day pick up a pair of the orange Off-White pair, and the black American flag Comme des Garcons x Supreme release.
