Timberland boots are renowned for their durability, comfort, and style, making them a staple for footwear collections for outdoor enthusiasts to fashion-conscious individuals alike. However, preventing stubborn stains and maintaining their longevity requires a regular cleaning session. This is because whether you're navigating muddy trails or city streets when left untreated, accumulated dirt and tough stains can damage finished leather. A few simple steps and special care or spot cleaning will keep them looking great for decades.
Materials Needed
- Soft-bristled brush or suede brush
- Mild soap or Timberland Boot Cleaning Kit
- Soft cloth or sponge
- Warm water (avoid hot water)
- Suede/nubuck leather cleaner (for suede boots)
- Waterproofing spray/leather protector
- Remove the Laces. Take out the laces. Wash them separately in soapy water, then let them air dry while you clean the boots
- Brush Off Loose Dirt. Use a soft brush to gently remove clumps of dirt and debris from the entire surface of the boots.
- Clean Inside. Shake out any excess dirt, pebbles, sawdust, what have you. A handheld vacuum cleaner can help get in there.
- Prepare Cleaning Solution. Mix a small amount of mild soap with warm water or use a designated Timberland Boot Cleaner.
- Clean the Surface. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge in the cleaning solution and gently wipe the boots in a circular motion, focusing on ground-in dirt and scuff marks.
- Rinse with Clean Water. Wipe the boots with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Avoid excess liquid, do not run them under water.
- Dry the Boots. Allow the boots to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources which can damage the material.
- Condition and Protect. For leather boots, apply a leather conditioner with a clean cloth to keep them supple. Let them sit, dry leather will slowly absorb excess conditioner. For suede or nubuck boots, use a suede/nubuck cleaner followed by a protective spray to combat water stains.
- Re-lace the Boots. Once both the boots and laces are completely dry, re-lace the boots.
Can I put my Timberland boots in the washing machine?
No, do not put leather shoes in the washing machine. It can damage the material and structure of the boots. Use the basic cleaning methods above. If you are worried that they have dirt damage or are badly stained, you can take your boots for cleaning. They are very durable and can usually be saved.
How often should I clean my Timberland boots?
Clean your boots whenever they appear dirty or you notice scuff marks. Even a bit of water can leave unsightly spots. "Our Boot Kit is the best way to keep your Original Timberland Boots clean," shared a Timberland representative. "The kit contains a handled brush, towel, and three of our essential products: Boot Cleaner, Boot Conditioner, and Balm Proofer™ Water & Stain Repellent." Always check the care instructions before choosing a different product; in general, regular maintenance every few weeks can help keep them in top condition.
What should I do if my Timberland boots get wet?
Protect your boots from water damage by stuffing them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Let them air dry away from direct heat sources.

WNBA legend Lisa Leslie had three words for Angel Reese
Now in her second WNBA season, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is averaging a league‑leading 12.5 rebounds along with 13.8 points, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game. She recently returned from injury and immediately picked up where she left off, posting her 16th double‑double of the season (11 points, 11 rebounds) on Tuesday night even as her Chicago Sky fell, 91-68, to the Minnesota Lynx. Then, on Wednesday, Reese showcased her brand power on Instagram, posting a pregame photo dressed head‑to‑toe in Gucci with the caption, "Don’t worry about me… life is GUCCI @gucci #guccipartner." The image quickly lit up her feed and drew an immediate response from one of the game’s all‑time greats, WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, who commented, “Yessss it is❤️." Despite flashes of elite play, the Sky have struggled mightily, standing at just 7-17 and sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference. Their 76.7 points per game rank 12th in the WNBA, and opponents are torching them for 86.8 a night (12th in the league). With head coach Tyler Marsh searching for consistency, every bright spot has been a welcome reprieve for a franchise that won the title as recently as 2021. Front and center among Chicago’s bright spots is Reese. Off the court, Reese has quickly built a burgeoning portfolio of endorsement deals, including Reebok, Calvin Klein, Beats by Dre, Amazon and now Gucci, underscoring her status as one of the WNBA’s brightest personalities. On the other side, you have Leslie, whose voice carries more weight than arguably anybody in women’s basketball. A three‑time league MVP, two‑time WNBA champion and Finals MVP and eight‑time All‑Star, Leslie helped define the league’s early years with the Los Angeles Sparks, including driving home the first dunk in WNBA history in 2002. A Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer (class of 2015), she remains a global ambassador for the sport.
All signs point to Yankees moving on from Anthony Volpe
With the trade for Ryan McMahon now complete, it would seem New York Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman has fulfilled one of his three priorities. He can now cross third base off the list, which leaves the rotation and bullpen as his remaining priorities. However, according to one Yankees writer, Cashman might not be done with the infield. Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reported this after the McMahon trade: “The Yankees may not be done adding to their infield. A team source said the Yankees are interested in adding a right-handed hitter who could play the infield.” Kirschner adds that the Yankees have had interest in Willi Castro and Amed Rosario. But the question now is, how would another player fit into the Yankees’ infield? Needless to say, Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr. aren’t going anywhere, and McMahon is just getting there. That leaves the low-hanging fruit. Anthony Volpe has been at the center of controversy all this season. His 13 errors, many of which had come at make-or-break moments, amount to the second-highest total in the game. In addition, his bat has not been able to compensate, hitting .217/.288/.408 with 14 home runs. There was always a lot to like about Volpe. He won a Gold Glove in his rookie year, his power has always been promising and his speed is nothing to scoff at. Unfortunately, his glove has become a liability, and his speed has also produced very few results. Volpe has swiped just 10 bags in 17 attempts. His power is the one thing that still has some upside, but it hasn’t been enough to justify a spot in the lineup. Both Castro and Rosario have been far more productive at the plate this season than Volpe. Kirschner doesn’t clarify how serious the Yankees are in their pursuit of another infielder, but that most likely isn’t available information. Having just turned 24, Volpe could still become the type of player that was expected from him as a top prospect. However, his recent performance has weighed heavily on his team’s efforts, and it may be buying him a ticket out of the Bronx — or at least a spot on the bench.
Top moments from 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame inductions
The 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class had its day in Cooperstown on Sunday. This year's class included Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, who were elected by the eligible voters from the Baseball Writer's Association of America, and Dave Parker and Dick Allen, who were elected by the Classic Baseball Era Committee. Here are some of the top highlights from Sunday's induction speeches. Dave Parker's son reads poem written by Hall of Fame father Parker's induction into the Hall of Fame was long overdue, and he sadly did not have the opportunity to enjoy the moment of seeing his name in the Hall of Fame as he died June 28. That left his speech in the hands of his son, Dave Parker II, who read a poem written by his dad. Parker spent the majority of his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates where he was an MVP winner, two-time batting champion and World Series champion with the 1979 "We Are Family" team. Dick Allen's wife remembers his kindness Allen was the other veterans committee inductee, and his widow, Willa Allen, spent the majority of her speech remember the kindness of Allen off the field as much as his ability on the field. Allen is going into the Hall of Fame as a Phillie but won the 1972 American League MVP with the Chicago White Sox. He led the league in OPS four times and was the 1964 National League Rookie of the Year. A reminder that Billy Wagner wasn't naturally left-handed Being left-handed is a huge advantage (and money-maker) for pitchers, and Wagner was one of the most dominant left-handed relief pitchers to ever step onto a mound in the big leagues. But he wasn't always left-handed. Wagner was a natural-born right-handed person but taught himself how to throw left-handed after fracturing his right arm twice as a kid. It led to quite a career. Wagner made a name for himself with the Houston Astros but also spent years with the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox. CC Sabathia takes playful dig at Ichiro Sabathia accomplished a ton in his 19-year big league career. He won 251 games, won the 2007 American League Cy Young Award, was the 2009 ALCS MVP and a World Series champion. He still has apparently not gotten over the one individual award he did not win — the 2001 American League Rookie of the Year Award, which went to fellow 2025 inductee Ichiro. Sabathia made sure to make a playful dig at that. Sabathia was the only American League rookie outside of Ichiro — who also won the American League MVP that year — to get a first-place vote. He received one. The others all went to Ichiro. Ichiro stole the show Ichiro stole 509 bases in his Hall of Fame career, and on Sunday, he added one more steal to his list of accomplishments by absolutely stealing the show at Cooperstown. He delivered two of the best lines of the day, first by calling out the one lone writer who did not vote for him, keeping him from being just the second unanimous Hall of Fame inductee ever (after Mariano Rivera). His best line of the day, however, might have been when he referenced his brief time as a member of the Miami Marlins toward the end of his career. Ichiro played 14 of his 19 seasons with the Seattle Mariners while also spending time with the Marlins and Yankees.
