Timberland Earthkeeper Channel
Timberland are keen to spread the word about their long-standing green credentials. Now, some may think that a company using animal skins for clothing can't be all that ecological, but that's a minority point of view and not one which I share. While many companies such as some big UK supermarkets have jumped on the 'green bandwagon' purely for marketing purposes, Timberland have always been committed to having a social responsibility and helping to improve the environment. So, now, they've opened up a new 'Earthkeepers" web-site to tell you more about how they feel about the subject. This includes a blog, information about their eco-projects and details of the Earthkeepers boots - of course, come back here to buy them at a discount! There's also a YouTube channel here and this is the YouTube video that explains Timberland's Earthkeeper principles. Our medium brown Earthkeeper and a much darker brown Earthkeeper are available in stock.
Shh! Whisper it to everyone - 'iSell' Hush Puppies store coming soon this Summer... Watch this space!
As usual, we'll be stocking a large range of Hush Puppies at discount prices, with the option of free UK delivery and regular money-off vouchers.

June 2008 - New 'star' boot!
Woah, where did that come from? New leader in our popularity chart is the smooth black version of the classic 6" Timberland boot. We've also just added some smart mens Oxford brogues and Chelsea boots. As well as the classic boots, Timberland also produces a good range of samdals for men and women, both in sporty, outdoor styles, and for casual wear.
Mid-May 2008 - Splitrock 'most popular' boot
Our current 'most popular' shoe is still the Timberland Splitrock over adult's and youth's sizes, and has been pretty much since they were introduced to the site. A lot of people must like the paired-down lookto the shoe, which has a more modern feel than the classic boots, and yet is still rugged, sturdy and comfortable for long hikes. There's quite a range of colours including black, blue, wheat, brown and even pink! Here's the most recent wheat Timberland Splitrock 73 boot
May 2008 - a few more Timberland shoes and boots
As mentioned last month, the Earthkeeper 'green' range of boots is extended here with the Timberland Rippler Chukka Earthkeeper Tan, with leather and waxed canvas uppers. There are many that couldn't consider a leather shoe as 'eco' or ethical at all, so this footwear uses predominantly man-made materials for the sole, with 30% recycled rubber and natural cork heel insert. Then organic cotton and canvas for the majority of the uppers. The amount of leather is limited to just toe/heel patches, inner sole and laces (although cotton laces are also supplied). This still gives a rugged water repellent boot due to the tough sole and waxed uppers.

New Ranges added to Timberland footwear in April 2008
We've just added 18 new ranges of shoes and boots from Timberland for the Summer season. A few of these are variants of classic designs such as a wheat-colour version of the Timberland Splitrock 73 boot and the Timberland 6" Premium boot in a rose-pink for youths. There's a brand new Timberland Hiking boot for youths with a unique jigsaw-puzzle pattern, and a couple of new Timberland ballerina pumps in soft Nubuck leather. Hope you like them all!
New Spring Timberland Discounted Sale Stock - Ended
For Spring, we've limited quantities of end of season Timberland stock at drastically reduced prices, although so low is the price, our free delivery offer and vouchers are not applicable to these products (as noted on each relevant page).
As an example, we've some sizes of the kid's Timberland Splitrock 73 leather shoe in black at £24.99 plus £3.99 p&p rather than our normal £49.95 price!
We also have limited stocks of Timberland men's leather work boots at just £79.99 plus £3.99 p&p.
The Timberland Irina woman's leather boot is very popular and we have some sizes at just £59.99 plus £3.99 delivery against our main stock price of £94.95 (less any discount vouchers off that full price, and with free delivery of course).
The usual criteria applies; "buy now to avoid disappointment" - when it's gone, it's gone! Sale Ended April 30th
Star performers!
As you can see from the samples at the foot of this page, the Timberland Splitrock 73 short boot range is our top seller when you take into account the different colours. It's popular with all ages; younger buyers like how it's a cross between a hiking boot and a training shoe, and parents like it because it's rugged and easy to keep clean! You'll pay £90 for a pair on the official Timberland® UK site but our prices are from £19.99 for infant's sizes
Eco-friendly leather boots - yes, really; 'green' boots
It goes without saying that the original Timberland 6" boots are as popular as ever - we've a couple of different colours for men, women and kids including a special 'anniversary' edition in orange. If you don't like the suede effect of these boots, you might be interested in the new Timberland Earthkeeper boots which have a burnished leather look. The 'Earthkeeper' name is a bit of a stretch as they're never going to reduce global warming, but at least Timberland are trying - how many other leading shoe manufacturers are making the effort to use recycled materials? They also use organic cotton in the linings to help you reduce your 'footprint' on the planet - yeah, 'footprint' - American humor ;-)
To further protect the planet from toxic substances, the liners are treated to absorb your smelly foot odours! There's the medium brown Earthkeeper and a much darker brown Earthkeeper, both at £124.95 (or less if we're running one of our discount voucher schemes!) There should be some paler leather/canvas boots around later this Summer - we'll announce when we have some on this page.
Timberland actually have a long tradition of trying to be as eco-friendly as possible. For more information, see their mini-site at www.timberlandserve.com where you can also download their report on their 'Corporate Social Responsibility'. Recently, Timberland planted several thousand trees in a projects near Milton Keynes to create the "Marston Vale Timberland Trail". Details and maps of the Timberland Trail are here.
An articel in the New York Times from 2007 includes interviews with Timberland's US directors about their long-standing views on sustainability. You can read the article here.
