Size and fit
The mixed-media Davis Square Chukka is exclusively available in men’s sizing. Although generally running true to size, a handful of reviews mention that the forefoot runs narrow and suggest going half a size up for a roomier toe area. Diligently poring over the brand’s sizing guide will aid in picking out the right size, depending on one’s snug preference.
Added cushioning is felt through the removable OrthoLite® insole, which allows wearers to replace with its own orthotics that ensures a more customized fit.

History of the Timberland Davis Square Mixed-Media Chukka
Starting as the Abington Shoe Company in 1952, it caught the attention of the shoe industry when it released its first waterproof cleats in 1962. More commonly known as the “6-inch Yellow Cleat,” it incorporated injection-moulding technology.
Due to its popularity and its waterproofing effectivity, the shoe manufacturer garnered a vast following and officially changed its name to The Timberland Company in 1978.
The same year pioneered the launch of sneakers and has never stopped infusing a rustic appeal in every design.
Incorporating many of its eco-friendly materials, Timberland launches the Davis Square Chukka dressed in a tried-and-tested Cordura® material, which is known for its durability. It adds the rugged adventure cred of the shoe.
Nice to know
