I know Timberland as the brand my brother wears to go walking in the forests in Queensland, and also those yellow boots that Kayne wears (or used to wear. I suppose he’s all in Yeezys now). Timberland and all its ruggedness has never been a brand that resonated with me, considering I live my work days in heeled boots; but now with two young kids to run after on the weekends, I’ve been eyeing a good, comfortable pair of anything that I can move quickly in. That’s when I read about Timberland’s new shoe called Flyroam — to be honest, it was the design of the men’s leather boot that caught my eye. Look how pretty the men’s range is:
But what’s truly unique is that the Flyroam shoe has a technology called the “Aerocore” energy system; which is an aerodynamic sole design that offers high rebound cushioning, rugged traction and is very light. And for the first time for the brand, they have included this wonderful technology into their women’s shoes. See here the range for women, also very pretty:
I picked out the white sneaker boot version for myself. Nice?
Here’s a closer look at how chio it is:
From the few times I’ve worn this shoe, I can say that it’s extremely soft, light, and cushy. And it grips the constantly wet floors in Sheng Siong well (most of my other shoes usually make me feel like I’m going to slip while I’m heading to pick prawns). This hiker is crafted from full-grain and nubuck leathers, has a durable outsole made with 34% recycled rubber, includes an OrthoLite® footbed that absorbs shock, and has breathable mesh linings made with 50% PET. Also, two thumbs up to Timberland for including that huge finger strap at the back of the shoe to help pull it on.
This is clearly a shoe to helps you move about, and quickly. The campaign video says it all:
And since this is the year of the sneaker, we’re giving away 3 pairs of the women’s Flyroam sneaker (worth $219), one in each colour (white, black and pink) to three lucky readers! Head to our Facebook page for details on how to take part!
