• Secure Grip, Timberland boots have somewhat a firm grip at the end that would be good for horse riding. They even have a little bit of heel that would further enhance the gripe while riding the horse.
• Waterproof, Most timberland other than being rough in the design are also waterproof, which is essential while riding as water splashes are quite common while horse riding. Soaked up shoes are quite irritating, so having waterproof boots is a crucial factor.
