(The Leather Working Group judges and classifies tanneries based on energy use, waste production and water treatment.) We were coming at the test from different angles, but I think this is useful for the review.įeatures of Timberland Garrison Trail Hiker bootĬertified tannery: There are sections of leather on the mainly fibre boots and this components use at least 50% leather tanned in a facility rated “silver” or higher by a third–party environmental audit.
The Garrison Trail Hiker looks a lot more “street”, “lifestyle” and “casual” in my opinion, so I was also interested to see how they would perform on wet and muddy trails. Meanwhile, I am more used to wearing hiking boots for hills and mountains.
She wasn’t sure about the look of the Garrison Trail Hikers but when she learned that my planned walks, while she was visiting me in the rural Highlands, would be on muddy paths, she was very happy to wear these, rather than her normal Timberland boots. She is much more of a townie than I am and so I can only trust her on the benefits of her usual leather Timblerland boots. Havana already owns Timberland boots (the more fashionable looking type) and likes them for grip and warmth during Scottish winters. My daughter Havana and I have been testing the boots. Timberland describe the new Garrison Trail Hiker boot “made with eco-innovations and initiatives in mind, along with a range of terrains”.
