A Vintage Aesthetic That Will Impress Even the Most Discerning Shoe Aficionados
New England, circa 1900-1945. The Boot Company by Timberland is a collection inspired by the well-worn, well-loved footwear from this post-industrial era.
Every boot in the collection is crafted to be "worn for a lifetime" in Arkansas, USA. Skilled artisans meticulously create these boots using premium Horween leather and other luxurious materials. The Goodyear welt construction allows for sole replacement, ensuring longevity.
The Lineman Collection's "6In Lineman Boot," currently available for advance sale at Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building, draws inspiration from linemen who worked on utility poles in the early 1900s. Crafted from Horween's premium Horween® full-grain leather, these boots are designed to be rugged, scuff-resistant, and exceptionally durable.
Sales Begin at Direct Stores on October 14 (Wednesday)
The minimalist and functional Wodehouse Collection features a dynamic use of the lightest horse leather (hand-finished premium full-grain leather) on the front. Available in three models, this collection offers a relaxed shoe style.
From October 14 (Wednesday), all four collections, including the Lineman Collection currently on advance sale at Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building, will be available at Timberland direct stores (Aoyama, Isetan Shinjuku PC4) and the Timberland official online shop.
Embrace the rugged boots for your autumn and winter wardrobe, reminiscent of an era when various shoes were made for laborers – a time when worn-out heels and frayed parts were repaired, reborn, and made wearable again.
