I dug into the archives for a pair of high boots that were relatively light weight. The mountaineering boots can stop a blizzard, but when you need to keep it moving and hitting up several spots they will give you the lead foot.

The choice was simple. The 6″ field boot is perfect for navigating snow drifts and still light and flexible enough not to make your feet feel tired from walking. These boots really came in handy this weekend as the ICs walked the expansive perimeter of the Atlantic Yards development site.

The waterproof status of the field boot is unquestionable. The best part of the field boot is its wide and thick sole which grips the ground with surety and stability. The flexibility of the field boots allows you to be super active while wearing them.

Peep the D-ring lacing system. This helps the quick tie-up and release.

The look of this pair is dope. The contrast stitching really sets off the all black leather and mesh upper. No wonder I found another pair of these same exact boots deadstocked in my archive. I must have copped these on some super sale. I have a new habit of keeping a receipt in my shoeboxes so I can remind myself of how much I paid retail for an item.

The little Timberland button on the ankle used to say ‘Gore-Tex’ on the OG field boots. I imagine that Timberland got tired of paying the Gore family for their proprietary fabric so they are now producing their own insulating materials.

I’ve hopefully found someone from the corporate side of Tim who knows their products even better than I do. I’ll let y’all know what comes of the convo.
