Timberland Boots - For Hiking, Camping, and Everything Else
Johann Erickson
Timberland shoes and boots are relative newcomers to the
footwear scene, when you consider the history of this type of
footwear.
The oldest known evidence of boots comes from
a clay impression in Ancient Syria, while cave paintings in
Spain, which date back as far as 15,000B.C. show a man in boots
of skin and a female in boots of fur. More modern evidence was
uncovered in an Egyptian tomb circa 2000B.C.
One of the
peculiarities of boots, is that they were a necessity, and at
the same time, a fashion statement, even in the relatively rough
early periods of modern man. Peasants wore whatever they could
cobble together, while even in the 16th century, men of means
wore highly decorative boots that were useless for all practical
purposes. Somewhere during that era in history, even leather
guilds that crafted boots for gentlemen, realized that something
heavier and more durable was needed for such activities as
riding.
But more changes were in store, before
Timberland boots arrived on the scene. The longer, mid-calf boot
that was popular until the 19th century, gave way to shorter
styles worn with spats. As the 20th century rolled on, the
blutcher army boot served as a precursor to today’s recreational
boot. These were quickly followed by the canvas boot worn by
baseball players in the 1930s, biker boots from the 50s, chukka
boots in the 60s, and in 1975, Timberland shoes and boots became
part of American lexicon.
Today,

for dress and casual wear, all with the same rugged durability.
