The Timberland 6" boot features an enhanced waterproof leather that's durable and resistant to abrasions, so kids' growing feet will be protected during scrambles, jumps and fort-building out in the woods. Rustproof hardware, a steel shank for arch support, durable laces and a rubber lug outsole add to the rugged quality of these boots; a padded collar and EVA footbed provide all-day comfort and shock absorption.
