3. Setup
First Use
Upon receiving your Timberland boots, ensure they fit correctly. Proper lacing and fit are crucial for comfort and ankle support, especially during extended wear or outdoor activities.
- Lacing: Thread the Taslan laces through all rustproof eyelets, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit from the toe to the ankle.
- Ankle Support: Tie the laces securely to provide adequate ankle support, especially important for hiking or uneven terrain. The padded collar should feel comfortable around your ankle.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

5. Maintenance
Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and performance of your boots:
- Remove Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush (like a suede brush for nubuck) to gently remove any loose dirt or debris from the surface.
- Wipe Clean: For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Wipe the entire boot surface evenly. Avoid saturating the leather.
- Air Dry: Allow the boots to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Condition (Optional): For leather boots, consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck or full-grain leather to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
Storage
Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Waterproofing Re-application
While your boots are inherently waterproof, over time and with heavy use, the external water-repellent treatment may diminish. You can re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or treatment designed for leather footwear to maintain optimal protection.

6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Timberland boots.
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Squeaking sound | Loose insoles, new sole material, or moisture. | Try removing and reinserting insoles. If new, wear them more to break in. Ensure boots are dry. |
| Loss of waterproofing | Wear and tear, or diminished external treatment. | Clean boots thoroughly and re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wax for leather. |
