Timberland

The Timberland Shoe Company is a success story that started with Nathan Swartz from Massachusetts, a determined and hard-working gentleman who worked his way up from an apprentice boot stitcher in 1918 until he owned part interest in the Abington Shoe Company in 1952.
The Abington Shoe Company mostly manufactured shoes for other companies until 1965 when they introduced injection-molding technology to the footwear industry. This innovative technology fused the sole to the leather upper without stitching, enabling the production of a virtually waterproof boot. This waterproof boot gained popularity quickly, and was named the "Timberland." Due to its immense popularity, in 1978, the Abington Shoe Company officially changed their name to the Timberland Shoe Company.
With fashion changing constantly and new shoe companies popping up everyday, Timberland has stood the test of time. And, they are not going anywhere.
