There is really no need for a special presentation for Timberland shoes - it's hard to find who do not know or do not recognize them. Hearing this name, before our eyes for most of us flashes classics 6-inch model. How did their story begin?

The first Timberland boots saw the world in 1973, when introduced by Sidney Swartz, member of a shoe maker's family. At that time, it would have been difficult to say that these shoes will become a revolution and a style icon.

Waterproof and durable shoes were designed for hard-working New England people and relied on functionality, not fashion. The production process consisted of 80 individual steps, and it used 39 different components.

Sidney Swartz sought to create a product that could be base for a company and also wanted boots to be unusual and not to afraid of the harsh New Hampshire winter and wet weather conditions. And now we can bravely say - he succeeded! "The production of shoes made of leather and resistant to water was considered absurd - everyone thought it was a completely meaningless idea," Swartz said, recalling his first ideas.

The shoes quickly became popular and began to spread around the world. The first international sale took place when Italian gentleman arrived to Swartz and asked for 600 pairs of Timberland shoes - amazed, but satisfied the American accepted the offer and thought that will never see the Italian again. Two months later, the same Italian came back and asked for more Timberland shoes, because he sold everything.

Timberland boots that have spread to Europe have become a "Made in USA" symbol and a guarantor of quality, in Asia it's an expression of individuality, and in America itself shoes were used from shipbuilders to university students.

The wave of popularity has boomed since the nineties, when hip-hop and NBA celebrities started wearing Timberland shoes. This period has become a break and shoes have become a true street style sensation and popularity does not spill over to this day - we can see stars like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Pharrell or Rihanna rocking Timberland's.

Kept style and uniqueness made the shoes a favorite amongst different styles and age groups - they are beloved by children and adults.
