By providing innovative, field-tested, good-looking, and durable gear, it delivers the richest outdoor experience. Founded in 1918 in Boston, USA, the company started as a professional shoemaking business. In 1952, company founder Nathan Swarts acquired a 50% stake in the Abington Shoe Company. In 1955, Nathan bought the remaining shares, and the second generation took over the company, growing it into the most successful shoe company in the United States over the next decade. In 1973, the Swartz family established the Timberland brand. In the 1970s, they adopted unique shoemaking technology to produce the world's first shoe requiring no stitching between the sole and upper. The complete fusion of the sole and upper created a truly waterproof shoe.
