Old Tims? Refurbished? Factory Defect? Disappointed.

I was very unhappy with this shoe. I ordered my size in Wide--it was too short and not wide. I have owned Timberland boots and this was the first time I ever not fit a pair. The package came to me in a ruffed up shoe box--I'm wondering if this was really the brand or a knock off. This may have also been a returned pair because the toe of the boot was damaged, as if someone tried to erase a black mark. I'll stick to ordering Timberland on their website.

The condition of the shoes look like they've been worn....The metallic finish is inconsistent throughout the shoe. Had I have known it was in this condition I would not have made this purchase

I purchased 2 pair (1080 & 910) from same Amazon Vendor.  Shoes were packed/shipped separately, but arrived at the same time (7 calendar days from purchase). I was happy to get them as my older (not so old really, but South Korea's unimproved, unkept streets did them in!) 1080's were absolutely at the end of their life.

I see the other comment about this shoe re: soles wearing out prematurely.  I thought possibly this was an isolated issue and r/t Korea's road conditions - but there may be something to it...I purchased my previous 1080s in May this year, and they absolutely died here.  The Left Heel was separated, and the "flap" would cause a drag strike before my foot actually touch the floor/ground surface.  I love the model's fit/feel and re-purchased the same model (diff colors this time) from Amazon.  I purchased 2 pair thinking the 1080s are to be worn only in the gym or improved tracks, while the MT910s are to be worn when running outdoors.  I'll learn whether this was the correct thinking or not - as for NB Shoes, I've been totally and unequivocally dedicated to this brand 100% since 2004.  If that means I'm a fanboy, so be it, I've tried the rest and no other brand comes close for me. New Balance shoes are great, well designed and the technology utilized comes through.  I do agree though w/ some of the criticism: NB ought to leave a well-made, best selling shoe alone for a couple years - there are reasons why those models are your best sellers.  Thanks.

Very comfortable. I like these shoes, but....... Bought 2 pair in 2010 (black and brown).  Changed jobs shortly afterwards and they stayed in the closet with cedar shoe trees in them for the last 5 yrs.  Took them out the other day and they both squeak loudly when you walk in them.  Took them into a shoe repair shop and they can't be repaired because of the all rubber sole.  Tech said the shank had come loose and that it was probably never epoxied correctly.  Contacted Johnston and Murphy to see if they could repair them. After several exchanges with info they determined they can't .  Warranty is 90 days....period.  They told me wear and tear was to blame and I should consider buying new shoes. I told them the shoes were like new and essentially unused.  If they looked at them they would see they were like new.  Defective is defective. I read online reviews and blogs that this was a common problem with this shoe and I told them that.  No help at all.  J&M will not stand behind their products even when they are aware of a problem.  Buyer Beware.

Just now received mine and opened the box. The watchband shows signs of heavy use, there is a heavy build up of dead skin and sweat on the underside, and the watch face has numerous deep scratches. The watch also won't turn on. I suspect that the battery is completely dead.
These watches ARE NOT REFURBISHED. These ARE USED.

I will be returning this item.  It was not new and possibly a return or sample.  It was NOT in the original Timberland box and there was numerous scuffs on the front and sides of the boot

Got a broken pair of earbuds. I bought a new product but it was obvious that they had been refurbished.  One side did not sound at all and the other had no treble.

Working on a replacement right now and will update the review, but really unhappy to get refurbished material when I'm buying new.

I am trying to figure out how this company can claim that the keyboard is certified refurbished?

The keyboard came in a dirty beat up box
The keyboard looks like it's been through hell, the solar panels are scratched up
The keyboard has a hard time registering keystrokes, after mashing thee keys for a few seconds they began to register key strokes
The keyboard is laggy at times

I'm thinking about sending it back

The item shows obvious signs of wear, this doesn't look new at all. It is probably a factory refurbished item.

After being out of town for work and a long trip, just spoke with my son and these slides arrived as an OLD USED PAIR!  Looking at the purchse history, these were supposed to be new, do you know why it is that I am having to pay for USED Silders??  Would like a refund please!

SOOOO disappointed.  I previously purchased these boots and LOVED them (and recommended them to many!) I've worn them on my motorbike every day for 4 years, all kinds of weather.  When they finally needed replacing, I clicked reorder - same style and size - and waited.  What turned up was a cut completely different from the last pair!!  Last time they were wide and ran slightly large (as per all the reviews).  But what i got was an extremely  narrow, very small boot (the heel is actually half the size of my originals!)  with a very rounded toe (making them short) and tight bridge.  I can't actually get my foot into the boot!  Can't zip them up either!  I seem to be the only one who has experienced this so I'm guessing  I was just sent faulty goods? Curious to see if anyone else experiences this.  Sadly the cost of shipping them to New Zealand and back is more expensive than the boot!

BE SURE TO REVIEW THE "TECHNICAL DETAILS" OF THIS PRODUCT.  YOU WILL SEE THAT EVEN WHEN YOU SELECT "NEW" THAT YOU GET A "REFURBISHED" PRODUCT.  I DID NOT NOTICE THIS UNTIL I LOOKED AT MY INVOICE AND I QUICKLY CANCELLED MY ORDER.  BE CAREFUL.

Quality control has become a problem. I've purchased the black face version of this watch multiple times, and had always been happy, but the latest one had a defective stem. The indiglo functions did not work, and the date adjustment function of the stem was permanently engaged. I notice others have complained of similar problems as of late. It looks like the factory made a bad batch. I returned it and I'm not sure I want to risk trying another.

Update: I ordered again, and the next version worked. Timex's design has changed slightly from the photo; the crown is now about twice as large as before, about 1/4 inch in diameter, and their are two small ridges surrounding it, matched by identical ridges on the other side of the face. The new design also claims 100 meter resistance. Movement is made in Philippines and strap in China.
