Timberland PRO True Grit Soft Toe Waterproof Pull-On Work Boot — Brown — TB1A24AJ214
A waterproof, soft-toe western pull-on with Timberland PRO comfort technology — as much at home on the ranch as on an industrial jobsite.
The True Grit starts with a metal- and mutilation-free upper in premium Timberland® waterproof leather with an internal waterproof membrane, then adds electrical hazard protection, the Anti-Fatigue Technology polyurethane footbed, and ExoSpine™ technology for lasting structure and a better heel fit. A heat-, oil-, slip-, and abrasion-resistant rubber lug outsole with a Ladder Lock™ heel grips rungs, and a Smart Comfort™ hidden seam and kick-off backing make it easy on and easy off.

Western Styling, Jobsite Build
The True Grit looks like a ranch boot and is built like a Timberland PRO. Under the western square toe and pull-on shaft are the same Anti-Fatigue footbed, EH-rated sole, and waterproof membrane that run through the brand's industrial line, so it works for fence and feed on the weekend and a plant floor on Monday.
ExoSpine™ and Ladder Lock™
Two details separate this from a generic western pull-on. ExoSpine™ is a lightweight TPU frame around the heel that keeps the boot's shape over time and locks the heel down — the usual weak point on a laceless boot. Ladder Lock™ is a squared-off heel breast that catches rungs squarely instead of sliding off them.
Built to Be Rebuilt
Goodyear® welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than bonding it, so a cobbler can replace the sole when the lugs wear down and you keep the broken-in upper.
Why Choose the TB1A24AJ214?
A waterproof, EH-rated, resoleable western pull-on with Timberland PRO's Anti-Fatigue comfort and a metal-free upper — the pick when you want a soft toe, western styling, and a boot that still meets jobsite standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of toe does the True Grit TB1A24AJ214 have?
A soft square toe with no safety cap, which keeps the boot lighter and roomier up front. If your site requires an ASTM-rated toe, the TB1A24BH214 is the same True Grit pull-on with a composite safety toe.
Is the True Grit electrical hazard rated?
Yes. It provides secondary underfoot protection against live circuits and meets ASTM F2412-18a, F2413-18, F2892-18, and CAN/CSA-Z195-14.
Is there any metal in this boot?
The upper is metal- and mutilation-free — no eyelets, hooks, or hardware — and the shank is fiberglass, so the boot's structure is non-metallic. That keeps it light and suits sites with detector-controlled access.
How should a pull-on work boot fit?
Fit at the instep and heel matters more than length on a pull-on, since there are no laces to adjust. ExoSpine™ holds the heel down, so a slight heel slip on the first wear is normal and settles as the leather breaks in. Order the size you wear in athletic shoes and try it with your work sock.
Can the True Grit be resoled?
Yes. Goodyear® welt construction stitches the outsole to the upper rather than gluing it, so a cobbler can replace the sole when the tread wears down.
How does the waterproofing hold up?
The waterproof membrane is a sealed internal layer rather than a surface coating, so it does not wash off with wear. Keep the leather conditioned so it stays supple and the membrane keeps doing its job.
