Timberland

Achieving 100% sustainability is hard. Creating a net positive impact on the environment will be even harder. But it is what Timberland intend to do by 2030. With a great passion for nature, comes great responsibility- to create responsible products and to protect nature for generations to come. Together we can make a difference.

For decades Timberland have equipped generations seeking adventure with handsewn rugged soled boat shoes. While those who wear them may change, the quality and craftsmanship never will. Hard work, innovation, and a love of the great outdoors are all big parts of the Timberland story. They have been since the very beginning.

Timberland history

It all started in 1952 when their founder, Nathan Swartz, bought a half-interest in the Abington Shoe Company. He worked his way up from an apprenticeship after immigrating to the United States and eventually bought out his partner and welcomed his sons into the business.

The Abington Shoe Company soon moved to Newmarket, New Hampshire, located in a tiny corner of New England known for its majestic mountain ranges, rocky shorelines, dense forests, rivers, lakes, and access to great east coast cities. This part of the world experiences every type of weather—blizzards, instant rainstorms, bitter winters, and summer heat waves.

Stepping outside in any kind of weather was a problem Timberland was born to solve. In 1973 their original waterproof boots called the “Timberland” were invented. They were rugged, well-crafted, and—thanks to an innovative injection molding technique which was new to the footwear industry—they withstood the elements. These premium “yellow” boots set new standards for waterproof performance in the footwear industry. They became equally popular with outdoor enthusiasts who needed protection in all conditions, professional trade workers who needed rugged dependable gear, and many others who just wanted a great looking pair of boots. These boots defined their brand. They were so groundbreaking that in 1978 they renamed the entire company.

Timberland’s heritage of hard work, innovation, and love of nature continues. They are here to inspire and equip the world to step outside, work together and make it better. Today, we find the outdoors everywhere, from right outside our doors to places far beyond. We find it in cities, suburbs, and the countryside. It’s where we work, play and connect to one another. That’s why they are on a mission to make our brand and company a force for positive change. They are committed to making our world greener, our communities stronger, and their products better with less impact on the environment.

Product development

When they design a new boot, shoe, jacket, pair of glasses, or even a T-shirt, it not only has to look great, they need to consider its impact on nature. Ever since introducing their original waterproof boots, they’ve remained focused on making innovative products that get people outdoors, are made with environmentally-conscious materials, and crafted to last for years. They aim to not only minimize our impact on the environment through the products they make, but to someday become net positive.
