Timberland PRO Boondock 8" Composite Toe Waterproof 600G Insulated Work Boot — Brown — TB189628214
A heavy-duty 8" insulated Boondock built to provide industrial-grade protection from every angle.
It starts with a premium Timberland® waterproof leather upper and an internal waterproof, breathable membrane, then adds 600 grams of insulation, a molded rubber toe protector backed by a composite safety toe, a rigid external heel cup, and Timberland PRO's Anti-Fatigue Technology footbed — all on a lightweight All-Weather TPU outsole built for traction on cold, wet ground.

Built for Cold, Wet Industrial Work
The Boondock is Timberland PRO's manufacturing and industrial workhorse, and this is its cold-weather version: 600 grams of Thermolite® behind a sealed waterproof membrane, on an outsole compound formulated to stay flexible and grippy on frosted surfaces. It is the pick for outdoor yards, unheated plants, and winter jobsites where a standard waterproof boot leaves your toes cold by mid-shift.
Protection From Every Angle
Timberland stacks protection here: a composite toe rated to the same ASTM impact and compression thresholds as steel, a molded rubber toe protector over it to take the abrasion, a rigid external heel cup to control lateral roll, and an EH-rated sole. The fiberglass shank and composite toe keep the structure non-metallic, so the boot stays lighter and transfers less cold than a steel-toe equivalent.
Anti-Fatigue Technology
Timberland PRO's Anti-Fatigue footbed uses inverted geometric cones that compress and rebound with each step, returning energy to the foot. On a boot you will stand in for ten hours on concrete, it is the feature most owners point to first.
Why Choose the TB189628214?
A waterproof, 600g-insulated, EH-rated composite-toe boot with a rubber toe guard and an ice-tested outsole — the Boondock built for the coldest, wettest work you do.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Boondock TB189628214 meet?
The composite toe meets ASTM F2412-11 and F2413-11 I/75 and C/75 for impact and compression, plus CAN/CSA-Z195-14 Grade 1. It is also electrical hazard rated to ASTM F2892 and the waterproof membrane meets ASTM F1671 for blood-borne pathogen resistance.
How warm is 600 grams of insulation?
600g Thermolite® is a true cold-weather weight — built for standing or slow-moving work in freezing temperatures rather than steady walking in mild cold. If you are active all shift in temperatures near freezing, a 200g or 400g boot will run cooler; below that, or for long stationary stretches outdoors, 600g is the right call.
Does the Boondock run true to size?
The Boondock is built on Timberland's TiTAN® last, which most owners find true to size with a roomy toe box. Order the size you wear in athletic shoes and leave room for a heavier winter sock. Timberland offers this style in medium and wide widths.
Can the Boondock be resoled?
Yes. The three-quarter Goodyear® welt stitches the outsole to the upper through the forefoot, which is the section a cobbler rebuilds; the cemented heel keeps the boot lighter and more flexible out of the box.
How does the All-Weather TPU outsole handle ice?
The outsole compound is formulated to stay flexible at low temperatures and is tested on a frosted rough-ice surface under SATRA TM144:2007, so the lugs keep biting when a standard rubber compound would stiffen and skate.
Is there any metal in this boot?
The safety toe is composite and the shank is fiberglass, so the boot's structure is non-metallic — lighter and warmer at the toe than steel.
