Timberland Men’s Classic 2-Eye Boat Shoe Review

The Timberland Classic Boat Shoe is pretty classic indeed – not just in its handcrafted style, but also in the use of various technologies and features that makes it one of its kinds. Timberland, over the years has set new industrial standards for durability, craftsmanship and protection when it came out with its weatherproof leather boot in 1973. First, a look at the positives and negatives of the Timberland Classic Boat Shoe.

Pros

  • Classic design
  • Comfortable & Hard wearing

Cons

  • Though the soles are non-marking, they aren’t grippy when they are wet

Classic design:

The Timberland Men’s Classic 2-Eye Boat Shoe is quite soft and comfy such that it allows you to wear them in like a slipper around the house as well as into the garden. The Timberland Classic Boat Shoe boasts a classic style to go with all kinds of pants, shorts and looks good with chino shorts too. The upper is stitched to the midsole constructed of rubber and this is then cemented to the out sole, therefore there is not any exposure of stitching in the process. The shoe is designed with outsole and midsole in contrast or toning colours. The siped, non-marking rubber out sole helps channel away water for traction on slippery and wet surfaces.

Timberland Mens Classic 2-Eye Boat Shoe

Handsewn construction:

Built to stand up tough outdoor work, whilst keeping you relaxed and look great, the shoe has an oiled full-grain leather upper that accounts for durability, comfort and is fully abrasion resistant. The use of full-grain, nu-buck and suede leathers in its construction makes it one of the most breathable leather shoes you can go for.  The Timberland features handsewn construction which gives it a fine personal touch with a casual feel for a day at home or on the water.

Great deal of comfort:

The padded collar adds an extra bit of comfort to the ankle area. The shoe also gives you a great deal of heel cushioning. But one feature that really stands out is the 360-degree rawhide functional lacing system that delivers custom fit. Add to this the comfort that is already assured by the cushioned heel and padded collar, you have a comfortable pair of shoes that could last even after several years of use. The shoe is also designed to give you maximum corrosion resistance. The foot bed of the shoes is nicely covered by soft orange leather which exhibits quick-drying properties. If customer reviews are anything to go by, the orange lining could colour your feet a little bit.

Available sizes and colours:

Normally, you need to bed shoes in, but not with this one. The Timberland Eye Boat Shoe is comfortable right from the word go and of course without socks. The wide fitting of the shoe must be good enough to fit your feet like a glove. Available in Yellow (42571), Light Brown (71510), Wheat (42569/71515), Brown (42573/71512), Orange (42572), Red (42570), Blue (42574/70514), Granite Grey (71513) and Dark Brown (70573) colours, the shoe comes in a gamut of sizes (UK) – 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12.5  for you to select from.

Verdict:

The Timberland Shoe does really well in its primary role as a sailing shoe. In its secondary role of a causal shoe, it is smart and acceptable and offers a unique look with any outdoor wear. The quality of the shoe (with the soft premium leathers), overall look and the stitching is a class apart. In a nutshell, the Classic 2-Eye Boat Shoe is brilliant all round and surprisingly better than the more rugged threaded soled shoe style!
