About the original
The Timberland 6-Inch Premium Waterproof Boot descends from the Original 8-inch waterproof boot introduced in 1973 by the Abington Shoe Company in Massachusetts, where Nathan Swartz (who bought into Abington in 1952) and his sons developed an injection-molded rubber sole fused directly to a waterproof nubuck leather upper without stitching. The 6-inch silhouette followed in 1976 and has been in continuous production since, with a padded leather collar, brass or gold-tone hex eyelets, and a lug outsole. The company was renamed The Timberland Company in 1978, and the boot still references the original 10061 pattern. The FW25 Supreme version uses the same 6-inch silhouette but replaces the single-panel nubuck with a debossed multi-color patchwork upper stitched together from contrasting hides, each panel embossed with the Timberland tree logo, and adds a red Supreme tab at the heel.
