Timberland was born from the craftsmanship and vision of Nathan Swartz, who in 1955 took full ownership of the Abington Shoe Company, marking the beginning of a story built on authenticity and innovation. Together with his son Sidney, he developed the first waterproof boots, combining artisanal skill with functionality, while the next generation, led by Jeff Swartz, strengthened the brand’s core values of responsibility and sustainability.
In 1973, the Original Timberland® 8-inch Boot was launched, becoming an icon that revolutionized the footwear industry. Three years later came the legendary 6-inch version — a true symbol of durability and timeless style.
Since then, Timberland has evolved into a global brand with three distinct identities: work, lifestyle, and outdoor.
Each collection embodies the perfect balance between performance and design, created to accompany those who live the city, explore nature, or embrace their everyday adventures.
For over 50 years, Timberland has crafted durable, versatile, and sustainable products, driven by the belief that true excellence is the kind that stands the test of time.
More than just a brand, Timberland is a symbol of authenticity, freedom, and a deep connection with the world around us.
