With September now upon us, there’s already a distinct chill in the air – at least until the next warm spell arrives. This change in season signals it’s time to rethink our footwear, swapping sandals and flip-flops for closed-toe alternatives that keep feet snug and warm.
While some of us struggle to fully embrace the end of summer with trainers and boots, a clog offers a satisfying middle ground. These shoes are perfect for anyone who simply wants to slip on something practical and dash out the door, whether that’s students rushing to lectures or school mums tackling the morning school run.
Timberland is a beloved, iconic brand best known for its boots, celebrated for their quality, durability and timeless style. However, its clogs have become an autumn wardrobe staple, with one particular pair earning glowing praise for being ‘very comfortable’ and ‘super quality’.
The Timberland® Premium Convertible Clogs for Women, priced at £120, are available in three colourways – yellow-tan brown, burgundy and suede grey – and come in sizes 2.5 to 9. An excellent choice for students embarking on university life who require footwear built to last well beyond their studies, the shoes are crafted from Premium Timberland® leather and feature a ReBOTLTM fabric lining, which is composed of 50% recycled PET plastic, as reported by Liverpool Echo.
They’re also equipped with an anti-fatigue removable footbed that the brand describes as: “A comfort system, adopted from Timberland PRO, designed with shock-absorbing, geometrical technology that returns energy back to the foot to deliver all-day support and comfort.”

Their aesthetic is quintessentially Timberland and mirrors the appearance of the renowned Stone Street Platform 6-Inch Waterproof Boots (£170), featuring the supple yet robust yellow leather upper and sturdy lug outsole. While it lacks laces, it incorporates a darker trim surrounding the footbed and an ankle strap that proves more adaptable than initially apparent.
It can be secured around the ankle for additional support or folded forwards for a slip-on approach. During warmer spells, this pairs brilliantly with denim shorts or summer trousers, a lightweight jumper and tube socks. As temperatures decline, they’ll compliment barrel jeans, a chunky knit and a gilet equally well.
This specific design serves as an appealing substitute for options such as Dr Martens Zebzag Suede Casual Slingback Platform Mules, £115. They similarly boast an adjustable slingback strap that can be positioned around the ankle or across the foot. With a contrasting suede finish, its substantial sole offers both fashion and functionality.
Another firm favourite among fashion enthusiasts is the Birkenstock Boston Clog, £110, reduced from £140, at Office Shoes. While it lacks an ankle strap, it remains a sought-after style that exudes effortless sophistication and is straightforward to slip on and off owing to its slider design.
The downside of all three shoes is that they are crafted in suede leather, which can sustain damage in wet conditions and, depending on the shade, attract dirt. Light-coloured nubuck absorbs water stains, grime, and oil, requiring considerably more than a quick wipe with soap and water.
Timberland advises using a suede/nubuck dry-cleaning kit, a suede brush, and foaming cleaner (RenewbuckTM) to remove dirt without compromising the texture.
This detail did little to deter shoppers who have heaped praise on the shoes, with numerous Timberland devotees commenting on how ‘comfortable’ they are. One customer noted in a five-star review: “Lovely clogs. Fit seems true to size. Comfortable.”
Another shopper added: “Well finished product, good quality leather and looks sturdy. They are very elegant for [clogs]. I’m wearing size 37 EU, but it was too tight. I had to take size 38 to be more comfortable and wear them with socks.”
Though they did flag one concern: “The back edge of the [clog] is a bit annoying because it’s slightly prominent and the heel of the foot tends to overlap on it, which will make walking uncomfortable at first. I hope that over time, this border will settle and become more flexible.”
Despite this, they concluded: “On the other hand, if the back strap is used, the heel is more supported and prevents support on this edge. They are very comfortable!”
Another commented: “I can walk in these all day and my feet still feel great… They’re super comfortable right out of the box, and I love that I can wear them as a slip-on or with the strap up. They look great with everything.”
It’s worth noting that some customers have discovered their usual size in these clogs to be somewhat ‘snug’, leading them to size up. One four-star review stated: “The shoe is great quality, but given a 4 as they’re slightly tight, not in width nor length, but in the overall inside height, which is snug. Otherwise, a great shoe, and hopefully I can stretch out. I’d still recommend, just get a slightly bigger size.”
While the clog’s weight is ‘heavy’, one buyer remarked: “Definitely has a heavy sole, so I wouldn’t recommend it to someone looking for a lightweight clog. It’s very much a classic Timberland boot, but in the style of clogs, so the tops are leather and thick, which would be great during the fall or spring.”
Another person even revealed how they blended two styles seamlessly, saying: “It’s literally the perfect mix of Crocs meets Tims – super easy slip-on comfort like Crocs but with that iconic Timberland premium leather look and quality. I can wear them as a true backless clog for quick errands or flip the strap down for a secure fit.”
