Timberland Nellie boots for women have become very
popular.
Many women feel they are much more stylish than most
classic boots available. This is especially true now more than
ever because you can get Nellie boots in custom made colors at
the Timberland company website. So can you get the regular black,
wheat, navy, and pink styles found at online boot dealers. And
you can get turquoise, sky blue, burnt orange, grape, brick red,
olive green, pebble, white and other colors made custom. Plus
you can different embroidery and outsole colors to augment your
color themes. (See pictures on lower left.)
Nellie boots by Timberland are made of waterproof full-grain
leather. They have a padded collar and come with rustproof hardware.
Each comes with a rubber lug sole for good traction. Some models
come with steel toes and protection against electrical hazards.
These features meet the ANSI Z41 PT99 safety standards.
Women who have bought Nellie boots praise their styling and comfort
in most cases. The few drawbacks, which have been noted in reviews,
have to do with the laces, boot widths and the collar rubbing
on ankles. The laces are said to be too slick and tend not to
come untied. So you might need to get different laces if they
bug you. Some women who have wider feet felt the boots run a little
narrow. Others did not feel this was a problem especially once
they wore the boots in. So it might be best to pick a larger size
if you have a wide foot. If you are unsure what size, email or
call the online boot dealer you plan to buy from. They can be
very helpful. Some women experienced the boots rubbing on their
ankles and causing an abrasion. This is very common with many
lines of boots because new boots can be stiff. Until your boots
are worn in, I find it best to wear thicker socks that come up
over the ankles. And I actually use a thick plastic Scotch tape
I got at the hardware store and put that on my skin with my sock
over it. This works great until the boots wear in. Once they wear
in the leather gets as soft as glove leather.
