I am a Timberland Boot

I am a Timberland boot.  I am one of the best made products from one of the best companies in the world.  No exaggeration.  If you were given a pair of boots like me in your freshman year of college, and you were a frigid college boy in Boston who had just moved from Atlanta, I'd save your life. Or at least your toes.  You probably jumped up and down in a freezing puddle just to test my waterproofness.

You probably used a pair of boots like me on 4 continents in 10 backpacking trips.  Everybody else got big blisters, but your toes were nice and dry.  Sadly, on the 11th trip, it was a little too much and a seam split while crossing the continental divide.  You nearly cried.  It was sad. 

Fortunately for you, Timberland backed me with a lifetime warranty, and you were able to get a new pair of replacement boots that you can still use today.  That's 13 years on a single purchase with close to daily use every winter.  Awesome!
