There’s no denying that loafers have fully infiltrated athletic footwear, with new sneaker loafer hybrids popping up on a near-weekly basis at this point. Next, the slip-on construction is merging with another classic shoe: the Timberland Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot. Courtesy of New York City-based fashion label Telfar, the iconic Timberland boot has had its top chopped off for a low-top, slip-on loafer, but the brand didn’t stop there — there’s also two pull-on boot variations in both mid and tall lengths.
The Telfar x Timberland collection spans three remixed variations of the outdoor footwear manufacturer’s classic 6-Inch boots in wheat and black pebbled nubuck styles. Each version in Telfar’s collaboration forgoes the shoe’s traditional shoelaces but retains the boot’s dual-layered rugged rubber outsole, first beginning with the loafer. The slip-on, priced at $225, is finished with Timberland’s signature quad stitching and a pull tab at the heel.

“Timbs are not just for the fall — and not just for ‘work’ — you can wear this shoe to a wedding, the beach or whatever,” reads Telfar’s product description for the loafer, which also jokes that no boxcutters are needed to achieve the low-top look.
From there, Telfar crafted an 11-inch, mid-length pull-on version of the classic work boot, which retails for $350. “A canvas for your personal touch; undeniably hard yet crushingly soft — Telfar Timberland is Hip-hop and R&B in boot form,” reads the Mid Pull On Boot’s description.
For those seeking even more height, the loafer has also been affixed with a 26-inch unstructured upper that’s designed for versatility and is priced at $600. According to Telfar, the Tall Pull On Boot is meant to “slouch, scrunch, drape and even fold all the way over.” Both the Mid Pull On Boot and Tall Pull On Boot feature tech specifications branded on the inner suede, allowing wearers to show off as much of the labeling — or as little — as desired.
The Telfar x Timberland collection will be released Friday at 12 p.m. ET exclusively from telfar.net and the brand’s 408 Broadway door in NYC. A wider launch will take place Oct. 8 from timberland.com and select Timberland stores.
