Nubuck Leather Lighter, Softer, More Breathable

We’ve long used nubuck leather, most notably in the Timberland Original Yellow Boot™, our flagship 6-inch boot. 

Often more breathable than full-grain leathers, nubuck provides the lightweight durability needed in a hiking or everyday boot – all with the promise of aging beautifully with a soft handfeel and gorgeous patina. 

Nubuck Gets Better with Age

Though many of our women's boots and shoes are made from suede or full-grain leather (which are viable choices depending on your needs and your preferences), nubuck leather is different. Sourced from premium top-grain leather, our nubuck leather shoes and boots provide you with the long-lasting durability you seek alongside the comfort you deserve. Lighter than full-grain and softer, boots and shoes made with nubuck offer style, comfort, and functionality.

Crafted to Stand the Test of Time

Nubuck boots and shoes are perfect for those who prefer easy maintenance, but they will last far longer with a short care routine. To keep your boots or shoes looking their best as they go through the seasons with you, start with our Renewbuck Foaming Cleanser, which removes tough stains, or our Dry Cleaning Kit for older stains and scuffs. 

The real treat to opting for nubuck leather? Seeing the beautiful patina of the top-grain leather over time. Featuring all the beauty of sanded leather with none of the bristle, our nubuck styles are the perfect choice for men’s and women’s work boots. 

Timberland’s nubuck leather boots are the perfect blend of fashion and function, designed to stand the test of time. Never compromise on comfort or durability with Timberland’s nubuck shoes and boots.
