About Timberland

Founded in 1952 by shoemaker Nathan Swartz, Timberland was originally called the Abington Shoe Company. Nathan's venture soon became a family business when he brought in his two sons, Sidney and Herman. It was Sidney who introduced the original yellow "Timberland" boot in 1973, intending to provide a tough boot for hardworking New Englanders around the company's New Hampshire home. This boot's popularity among workers and fashion-minded folks alike soon led to the company's renaming, and thus, The Timberland Company was born. A Swartz family member remained at the Timberland helm all the way up until 2011, and the company has a long history of fair dealing, employee appreciation, and interest in social justice and environmental preservation that continues to this day.

These days, it seems harder than ever to find a big company with a conscience, but that's exactly what you get with Timberland. Eco-conscious and community-minded, Timberland is a global force for good. Not only do they make high-quality, long-lasting boots and shoes, they are committed to protecting the outdoors and keeping the Earth healthy and beautiful. It would take all day to list Timberland's many service projects and environmental efforts, but a few of the standouts include greening (planting trees in both urban areas like NYC and wilderness spaces like China's Horqin Desert), supporting agro-forestry in Haiti, and their Timberland Tires that are specially manufactured to be recycled into outsoles. Timberland also makes upholding and protecting workers' rights in their more than 300 factories a priority, and as a result, they've been repeatedly recognized as one of the world's best companies to work for.
