Bought a pair of Timbs when I went to Spain a couple of years ago. Not that comfortable though, and gave me blisters on the top my feet (where the outer lace comes inside the leather)

FFS You could of told me a couple of days ago before spending £100!
nah so far they're fine, nice and comfy for me.
That’s what pissed me off - spending good money on a poorly designed product. Like my old Jaguar XJ6, where water collected in the battery shelf, so you’d pull out in the morning and get your feet soaked.
I’ve still got them though (the shoes, not the Jag) I just have to remember to rub a bit of Vaseline on my foot where the tongue meets the lace.
They probably sorted it eventually anyway.
Yeah mine are absolutely fine and I did read a load of reviews before buying them. Most of the reviews were "I've been wearing these for 50 years and won't wear anything different" etc. etc.
I know where you mean though as the rope goes through in one piece and does slightly touch the top of your foot. It hasn't rubbed me though and they're really comfy.
Maybe you've got ****ed feet?
I do like Timberlands though and always have a couple of pairs, but this was the first pair of timberland boat shoes I've owned. I like the fact the sizes are classed as wide or normal and they always go up in halves. I've got wide feet so it works well. Size 8 wide, fits like a glove.
I used to be a Postman, so yeah, my feet are ****ed. Plus I'm an 11.5 but very hard to get half sizes so end up with size 11s that pinch, or 12s that are like boats. Last pair of Timberland boots I owned, I had to wear 2 pair of socks.
They usually get demoted to gardening shoes for about a year first before getting binned.
I do find it hard to throw them away though!!
Yeah the 3 hole ones are definitely more an autumn shoe. The 2 hole ones like mine are much more lightweight and perfect for summer evenings.
Nice smart jeans, turned up. Oxford shirt and a nice blazer.
You'll find me down the yacht club.
Was gonna say next time your on it chuck them overboardNice smart jeans, turned up. Oxford shirt and a nice blazer.

Remind me of school shoes.
Dont like kickers either, they look like shoes metth would wear but obviously with one sole bigger than the other.
