Timberland PRO, a leader in occupational footwear, has introduced the Timberland PRO Valor series, an innovative line of footgear designed to meet the needs of public safety professionals—law enforcement, security officers and emergency medical workers—by offering advanced levels of support, comfort and durability.  The line is available through leading suppliers of uniforms and outerwear for the public safety sector.  

“Public safety professionals and first responders spend long hours on foot and often work in challenging conditions,” said Bob McCarthy, senior product manager for Timberland PRO.  “After spending some time with various law enforcement members, we realized there was a real need for reliable footwear designed specifically to meet their demands.  Thus, we developed the Timberland PRO Valor series, which addresses the need for protection, agility and comfort.”

Recognized as a leader and innovator in occupational footwear, Timberland PRO approaches the design process by gaining a comprehensive understanding of the individual needs of the end-users in order to create customized footwear solutions.  The Timberland PRO Valor series was tested in harsh conditions to ensure the products would effectively help safety professionals perform better on the job.  The resulting product line combines the brand’s expertise with innovations from Timberland’s Invention Factory and performance from premium third party components, such as Gore-Tex XCR, Crosstech fabric by W.L. Gore and Thinsulate Zone insulation. 

The Timberland PRO Valor series consists of six styles arranged in three product lines based on key features and technologies:

Winter – A boot constructed with waterproof leather, a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane, Thinsulate Zone insulation—insulation where you need it most—and Timberland’s exclusive Endoskeleton internal suspension system for comfort and performance.  Outsoles contain grooves for mounting crampons in icy conditions.

ForceTech – Three durable, flexible and lightweight boot styles designed for a variety of environments—warm or cold, wet or dry and off-road—that contain special features such as a Crosstech fabric from W.L. Gore, waterproof/breathable membrane for additional protection against common chemicals.

Tactalite – Two lightweight styles designed for safety professionals requiring durable protection that allows for quick reaction and movement.  A Gore-Tex XCR membrane offers waterproof protection with superior breathability while a Vibram trail runner sole provides grip on uneven surfaces.

All Timberland PRO Valor series products contain Timberland’s exclusive PreciseFit system, a breakthrough technology that uses footbed inserts to ensure optimal fit.  Each pair comes with a set of inserts of varying thicknesses, which allows for size differences between the left and the right foot, creating a customized, comfortable fit.

Timberland PRO Valor series products have a MSRP price range of $110 to $190 and are available from leading suppliers of uniforms and outerwear for the public safety sector.
