Ask Allen: Timberland 6 inch Boots in Wheat Nubuck or Dark Brown Leather?

Anonymous Asked: “Hey Allen, I’m tryna buy some 6 inch Timb boots (my first pair) and I’m not sure if I should just go with the classic wheat colored nubuck, or go outside the box with like the dark brown leather boot. I feel like the dark brown leather would be more wearable but the wheat is pretty iconic. What would you go with? Thanks!!”
Answer: I’ve honestly never owned a pair of Timberland 6 inch boots, which is probably due to the fact that it’s not a functional necessity living in TX. However, if I had to choose between the wheat nubuck and the dark brown leather, I would definitely go with the wheat. Looking at it from a style aspect the wheat color is a great complement to denim and allows you to pair a limitless amount of color options with it. This is the reason why I feel this particular colorway is a favorite of celebs such as Rihanna, Kanye West, and Jay-Z.
