FOOTWEAR; boat shoes The rugged Amherst boat shoe makes the transition from purely functional non-slip footwear to a casual shoe which incorporates Timberland craftsmanship and detailing. Premium leather and traditional handsewn construction provides that authentic feel, while the durable siped outsole delivers optimal traction. Timberland set new industry standards for craftsmanship, durability and protection when it introduced an authentic, waterproof leather boot in 1973. A global leader in design, engineering and marketing of premium footwear, Timberland values consumers who cherish the outdoors and their time in it. Timberland has been an industry leader in the use of both sustainable and recycled materials in its shoes, as well as its footwear packaging.
