The timberland flume boot is a modern take on a rugged boot. This style features water resistant suede along the top and rubberized sole to protect your feet. The upper is made of canvas or leather with a durable vinyl sticker applied to it.
These shoes are perfect for those who spend a lot of time outside or who enjoy walking in nature. The suede will stay warm and comfortable even when wet, thanks to the water resistant property. The rubberized sole will protect your feet from harmful terrain and potential bruises.
These shoes are also great for those that want an elegant look but still want tough boots. The canvas will keep you warm and withstand the wear and tear of daily use.
How well do these shoes fit?
The timberland flume boot does not have a width size, height, or length measuring system like most companies do. This can make it be hard to find the correct size for your foot type and foot shape.

Comfort
Even with heavy duty soles, these boots are lightweight. They are also water resistant, which makes them great for winter sports like skiing and snowboarding.
In theory, these boots would work for any weather condition. You could go outside in a deep snow scenario, and then return inside to sit in a warm chair or sofa with the heat pump set to maintain a temperature in your room. You could also do winter sports in such a scenario!
Because they are waterproof, these boots are great for water sports. You can just get into the water without having to buy new shoes every time you want to do some water fun.
You can wear these all year long as well. Since they are lightweight, you can keep them on throughout the day without feeling guilty about damaging them.
Style
You do not have to wear thick socks with these boots. Instead, you can wear thin socks or no boot at all. The reason for this is that these boots are water resistant! If you are going out in the snow, you should consider wearing thick socks to prevent cold feet.
Both sides of the boot are water resistant. This means that if you were doing some hiking or water sports in heavy snow, you would be safe. However, if you were just walking around in warm weather without any kind of sport or activity, then no boot is necessary.
The colorway of these boots is nice and neutral so as to not give someone an early warning sign of what they were walking in. The shapely heel and soft cushioning make this a styleable boot.
Lining
The lining of the boot is an important part of this shoe. It creates a waterproof barrier against the elements and protects your feet from rough surfaces. There are many brands that use this lining, so don’t feel like you have to!
There are a few different lined shoes on the market. Some examples include Nike, New Balance, and Timberland. Each has a different look and purpose. New Balance uses clear plastic wrap over the leather to make it water resistant, while others add padding or a soft coating on top of that.
The thickness of the lining varies as well, some are thicker than others. The thickness depends on what function the lining has – if it is for comfort or mobility purposes.
Sole
The sole of the boot is what determines how you walk in this shoe. There are three sole models: full-sole, mid-sole, and non-sole. The full-sole has a thick sole that protrudes slightly. This model is best for those who like to walk in high heels or need a substantial shoe for daily use. The mid-sole has a slightly thinner sole that protrudes less. This model is better for those who prefer more comfortable shoes or want more versatility in how they wear them. The non-sole has a thin sole that does not protrude at all. This model is good for people who do not need any special help with keeping these shoes clean!
The key to choosing which model you need is looking at which parts of the foot you want to put them on and how you wish to wear them with them.
Waterproofing
In this era of waterborne technology, where you can get almost any kind of water sports equipment, being able to waterproof your boot is an important part of being a well-rounded water sports user.
Many people use these boots for casual kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. You can just wear them around the house or school grounds in a Trout Derby style!
Some products are designed to be waterproofed through special additives or coatings. This can be useful if you need it for an extremely serious outdoor event, or if the manufacturer offers a non-customized version that is still waterproof.
The Flume Boot is one such product. It is designed to be very comfortable and durable with regular use. The waterproof feature is added through the leather conditioning treatment.
Price
At $120, the Timberland Flume is a very high-end boot. This price point also makes this boot very exclusive and hard to find. Fortunately, we are here to help!
What makes this boot different?
Unlike most waterproof boots, the Flume has noSpecial rubber band around the foot to prevent water from flowing into the boot. This is due to the fact that this design was never intended for wet weather conditions. However, this doesn’t mean it doesn’t work!
The two upper layers of material are designed to stretch as the boot grows, keeping it stable and safe throughout years of wear.
Where to buy?
The Timberland Men’s Flume Waterproof Boot is currently our top recommendation. It is very expensive, but if you need the best for winter weather, this is the boot for you.
This boot is designed to keep you safe in snowy or watery environments. It has a waterproof liner around the bottom of the boot, so you do not have to worry about getting wet!
The interior lining of this boot also has little footbeds so you can put heavy shoes on it to keep them warm. This way, it can be used in situations where someone would not want to take off the shoe since it is hidden by the footbed.
We recommend this boot for people who want strong snow traction and who do not mind spending a little bit more money on it.
What are they used for?
The Flume is a great boot for summer. It is lightweight and durable, making it a great boot to wear all season long. They are also nice and warm, making them a reliable winter shoe.
They are not very fashionable but that is not what they are for! They are nice and sturdy enough for daily wear and after-hours use. These will be the first shoes you take off in the morning!
They are resistant to water and stains, making them a good choice if you have some rough-handed guys around your house. The waterproofing means you do not have to worry about water getting into the foot or shoes, which can be lifesaving when that happens.
