Looks Great But Never Knew Tims Ran Big

By miahz from Northern Virginia on 4/2/2011

 

4out of 5

Sizing: Feels full size too big

Pros: Stylish

Cons: Poor Fit

I ordered two of these in Black and Tan, size 12 – my normal size. But i never knew Timberlands ran so big. I probably need an 11. They were too big even with double socks. And they only tighten around the ankle – there’s no way to get them snug around the foot without getting a different size. So i had to return them, which is very unfortunate, because after i got them they became discontinued and i wasn’t able to order an exchange. And i lost 21 bucks in upgraded shipping because i had to return these over-sized boots.

The boots looked great, but i couldn’t wear them. I would have loved them in the correct size.

Posting sparse updates as i find internet access. Keep your eyes on my Twitter page, and my Flickr photostream. The bandwidth is slim, so uploading photos is tough, but i’m trying to at least get a few up so you can see what we’ve been doing.

Today is our last day in Boracay, then back to the Kalibo area for the rest of the week. Next week is Manilla, then returning home.

It meant the site probably used CSS and was even powered by some newfangled blog script. It was clean, appealing. Not the same old Times New Roman. Yet safe. But that was yesterday. Now it’s everywhere. Georgia is the new Times New Roman. The new default. People end up using it without even knowing it used to be what’s up.

That’s why i love stopping by sites like Joe Clark’s fawny.blog [via]. So much going on typographically. He lets the words speak. He literally puts more meaning into one paragraph than i don’t even know how to finish this analogy. Somehow so visually appealing, yet nary a graphic in sight. His stylesheets list over a dozen acceptable font faces so if you happen to have one of those fonts installed on your system, the page is rendered using that face instead of one of the boring standards. Well done. Forget Web 2.0. Here’s to over-populated font sets.
