Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1973 classic boot as Timberland assembled a group of Future Makers to reimagine this boot with their own vision and bold design innovation. Dr. Samuel Ross is one such visionary. The creator of A-COLD-WALL*, Ross is a world renowned designer who utilizes an all-encompassing approach towards fashion, art, music, and beyond. Explorative in approach, his Future 73 footwear is rooted in function, ergonomics, and the techniques of artisan. His style is evident in the stacked lug design of this boat shoe that features classic 3-eye lacing and the waterproof capabilities of a GORE-TEX membrane.

Our waterproof footwear incorporates a variety of advanced waterproofing materials, treatments and processes. We start with waterproof leathers that are sealed as part of the tanning process; we then either seam-seal the footwear or use an internal waterproof breathable membrane to help feet stay dry. Tongues and zippers treated with durable water resistant coatings utilize integrated gussets, to further deter water entry.
