In their fourth collaboration since 2021, Timberland and Aimé Leon Dore have partnered again to bring back an iconic 90s lace-up boot. Refreshing Timberland’s Heritage Moc Toc silhouette, this design is again seeing a release since its last rerelease in 1991. A classic and sturdy chukka boot, this is a traditional mid-lace-up boot that now appears in two colorways. Although its last release was in 1991, this style is far from outdated or retro. A timeless chukka boot, this refresh has given the boot a brand new form, making it ideal for the modern era by adding a few new features. Available in two classic colors, these boots are a must-have for any winter closet for easy styling and added support.

A quintessential fall boot, the new Mid Lace-Up GTX Boot isn’t your typical chukka boot. Both colorways are crafted with premium full-grain leather, with the brown colorway featuring an embossed crocodile texture. On the other hand, the black color combination will contain an embossed stingray pattern. Both designs carry the same pecarry-embossed nubuck collars with a soft suede accent. Lined with GORE-TEX membranes and EVA footbeds, these boots are ready for any adventure. For extra support and stability, this boot features the typical Timberland rubber lug sole for added traction. Available via Aimé Leon Dore and Timberland websites, these boots retail for $195. A classic and timeless design, there’s no doubt that these boots are made to last for years, making them a worthwhile investment for your closet.

All about the new Seiko Prospex

Anyone looking for a diver watch will ultimately land on Seiko. Some of the most prolific dive watches, Seiko’s Marinemaster pieces are historic and iconic in the category and remain the standard in the industry. With plenty of reinventions taking place all over, Seiko is taking the chance and giving their famed 1968 Diver a refresh just a year after restarting their Marinemaster series. In larger sizes, these two new watches are worthy successors to the Marinemaster series, and their contrasting hues and features are significant for any dive watch user.

Bringing some new concepts into the Marinemaster, Seiko has released the SLA077 and SLA079 watches as follow-ups to their 2023 releases. Although they belong to the same collection, these two new pieces have much more water resistance and less sleekness making them more authentic as dive watches. Both pieces come in a stainless steel case with a 42.6mm size and 13.4mm thickness. Both SLA077 and SLA079 come with a black unidirectional rotating bezel and a detailed 60-minute scale. A LumiBrite pearl is placed on the 12 o’clock mark, and the screw-down crown is in the usual 4 o’clock spot. Most importantly for the dive watch, the water resistance on both versions reaches up to 300 meters.

This is what goes into making the perfect Timberland hiking boots

Lessons from a Hiking Boot Expert

Hiking boots standing on rocks

Getting out into the wide unknown is a pillar in our psyche. From the beginning of time, we looked out across the expanse of the wilderness with a wonder for adventure. We looked out among the trees of the forests, the peaks of the mountains, and the sands of the deserts for the first time and decided then and there that we would conquer those landscapes. Of course, we can't do it alone, and we need the right gear to reach the peaks or navigate the forests. That is where Alex Dardinski, Senior Director of Advanced Concepts and Energy for Timberland, comes in. His entire life is built around creating the perfect Timberland hiking boots to help you get out of the office, break away from the mundane life, and discover the world for yourself.

"I have always been very into the outdoors," Alex says. "And after an early career in Architecture and later Product Design, I purposefully sought out a job at a brand that enabled me to design products that matched my passion for being outside. With Timberland having such a rich outdoor lifestyle heritage, it was a natural fit."

How to waterproof boots so you’re always prepared for the weather

Good boots are crucial for getting through wet fall weather — here's how to make sure they last

Autumn is almost here, meaning it’s time to peep some splendid foliage, trek through an apple orchard, and weather and waterproof your favorite boots. While this last action point may lack the charm of other fall-ier activities, it’s a crucial one that could spell the difference between an OK autumn and an unbeleafable one (pun fully intended).

Fall is a disastrous time for footwear. Freezing rain, sleet, snow, hail, and all other forms of autumnal precipitation can wreak havoc on even the toughest shoes if you don’t take the proper precautions.
