Timberland Britton Road Mid Waterproof Men's Chukka Boots Brown Nubuck

The Timberland Britton Road Mid Waterproof are men's taupe-brown nubuck chukka boots with laces and a lug rubber sole, from the brand's Waterproof line.

Technical Specifications

Overview: the brand's classic chukka

The Timberland Britton Road Mid Waterproof is a men's chukka boot that follows the brand's classic silhouette: mid shaft, smooth vamp and a lug rubber sole. It carries the Timberland Waterproof designation and is made in taupe-brown nubuck.

It is made for anyone who wants sturdy, comfortable footwear for everyday wear, with a sober look that works as well in the city as in the countryside.

Design and style: the mid-shaft chukka

The design is that of a mid-shaft chukka with five pairs of metal eyelets, brown laces, a tongue that protects the instep and a pull loop at the heel. Reinforcement stitching traces the outline and the round toe gives it a sturdy air.

The Timberland tree is embossed on the side, with the word Waterproof below. The sole, in caramel-toned rubber with lugs and a dark brown edge, completes a warm whole.

Materials and finish

The outer is nubuck, a leather with a slightly sanded surface that gives it a velvety feel, stands up well to use and is easy to care for. The taupe-brown tone is neutral and slightly greyish.

The sole is rubber with marked lugs and a boot profile, made to give grip and resist the wear of daily use.

Waterproof line

The model belongs to Timberland's Waterproof line, as the word embossed under the logo indicates, a construction made to resist water. For the protection to be effective, keep the nubuck clean and protected with a spray.

Even so, they are not boots for submerging or wading: in heavy rain or standing water, avoid prolonged contact.

Everyday comfort

The comfort of this model rests on a comfortable last that gives the toes room, a collar that holds the ankle without squeezing and a sturdy but stable sole. The laces let you adjust the fit.

Like any leather footwear, it adapts to the foot over the first weeks of wear. It is worth trying them on with the socks you will wear in winter.

For which occasions

These are boots for autumn and winter: everyday city life, light-rain days, the countryside, work, travel and casual clothes.

For deep snow or technical mountaineering there are more specific shoes; for urban and mid-season use they are a comfortable, hard-wearing option.

How to wear them

With straight jeans or chinos, the taupe brown looks natural and smart. With corduroy or work trousers, it adds a more countryside air. Taupe brown goes well with navy, grey, green and beige.

On top, parkas, wool jackets, fleeces and chunky knitted jumpers all work.

Our opinion at Calzados Vesga

Our verdict is very positive: it is a classic, sturdy, comfortable chukka with a good-looking nubuck and a sole with plenty of grip. It delivers what it promises as an autumn and winter boot.

For anyone who wants a timeless, durable ankle boot for everyday wear in a neutral, easy-to-match brown, it is a very safe choice.

Size guide and fit

The model comes in EU sizes 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45. The last is comfortable, with a round toe. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger, especially with a wide foot or thick socks.

To measure, stand with your heel against a wall, measure to your longest toe and leave 5 to 10 mm of room. That space stops the toes touching the end and lets the foot swell during the day. The laces will let you adjust the room over the instep.

Care and cleaning

Nubuck needs specific care. Brush it with a nubuck or suede brush to remove dust and apply a protective spray before first wear. Marks are treated with a suede eraser. If they get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters.

Do not machine-wash the boots or submerge them. Clean the sole with a brush and a damp cloth. Store them with paper inside so they keep their shape.

Before you decide

They may not be what you want if you prefer a dress ankle boot in smooth leather or a very light shoe. It is a sturdy boot, with a thick lug sole.

They are perfect if you want a classic, hard-wearing, comfortable chukka from the brand's Waterproof line for everyday autumn and winter use.
