Timberland is an iconic American outdoor brand, most famous for its 'Original Yellow Boot' introduced in 1973. The brand was originally founded by Nathan Swartz, who purchased the Abington Shoe Company in Massachusetts and revolutionized the industry with injection-molding technology, which allowed for truly waterproof leather footwear.

While the brand was born in the United States, its manufacturing is now global to meet international demand. Timberland products are produced in various countries, with significant manufacturing hubs in Vietnam, China, Bangladesh, and the Dominican Republic. The brand is committed to sustainability, sourcing a significant portion of its leather from tanneries rated silver or gold by the Leather Working Group.

Since 2011, Timberland has been a wholly owned subsidiary of VF Corporation, an American global apparel and footwear powerhouse. This acquisition integrated Timberland into a portfolio that includes other major labels like The North Face and Vans. The brand's headquarters remains in Stratham, New Hampshire, where it continues to focus on outdoor lifestyle apparel and accessories.
