Timberland’s Timeless 1978 Hiker Boot Is Back for the First Time Ever — for a Limited Time Only

A classic Timberland hiking boot is back in its original form for the first time ever.

The Timberland 1978 Hiker Boot was the brand’s original waterproof hiking shoe, but it’s been discontinued for decades. Originally built for mountaineers and hikers, the rugged men’s boots are a forgotten part of the outdoor brand’s heritage — but they’re back now, for a limited time only.

The 1978 Hiker Boot is available now for $250 from timberland.com and select retailers.
