Select Timberland® products feature dual-density OrthoLite® foam footbeds that won’t break down or lose cushioning over time. In fact, the ultra-breathable material won’t lose more than 5% of its compressibility for the lifetime of the footwear. That means shoes will be more comfortable and more protective, no matter how long they’re worn or how far they go.

• Open cell foam is made from polyurethane and recycled rubber.
• Millions of tiny air bubbles transport moisture away from the foot.
• Highly permeable foam allows air to circulate, keeping feet cooler.
• Environmentally friendly biocide eliminates odour-causing bacteria.
• Insoles are washable and will not lose shape after washing.

Rubber tyre waste is one of the world’s largest environmental problems. When disposed of in landfills, tyres take over 80 years to decompose, polluting water tables and providing breeding grounds for disease-carrying insects. 1.2 billion tyres are disposed of each year globally with 7 billion currently in landfills. Green Rubber is a rubber compound derived using a patented process called DeLink™ to devulcanize waste rubber. The devulcanized rubber can then be reused as a new raw material for items such as outsoles. By 2012, Green Rubber intends to recycle the equivalent of over 200 million discarded tyres every year.

One or more major components (i.e. outsole, upper, lining, midsole or insole) contain at least 50% recycled polyethylene therephthalate (PET), the plastic used to make fizzy drinks bottles.

The Timberland Green Index™ rating is a score that rates a product (through manufacture) on its climate impact, chemical usage and resource consumption on a scale from 0 to 10. The lower the number, the smaller the environmental impact.
