Timberland’s holiday boot this year isn’t a print or a cartoon. It’s suede, cut by a tannery in Leeds, England that has been at this work since 1904.
The C.F. Stead Holiday Collection is live now at timberland.com, and it runs four deep. Men’s at $230. Women’s at $190. Junior at $130, youth at $110. One ladder, four rungs.

All four boots lead Timberland’s new arrivals page, right at the top. No digging through a sale section, no code to clip. They’re simply there, in the open, at full launch price.
Both adult boots carry the C.F. Stead name outright. The kids’ rungs wear the holiday dark green on the Premium 6-Inch boot instead, tannery tag hanging off the laces. Timberland and C.F. Stead last linked up on the Indigo Suede Icons Pack in 2024, so this is a reunion, not a first date.
The tannery behind the tag
C.F. Stead has cut suede in Leeds since 1904. That’s the whole story and it’s a good one. Most holiday collabs start with a color palette. This one started with a leather supplier.
Suede is the tannery’s specialty, and the collection leans on it hard. The men’s boot wears it in dark green, the women’s in burgundy, and the smaller sizes borrow the green. Every pair ships with that round hangtag stamped Charles F. Stead, Leeds England. It’s a small thing. Boot people notice small things.
Suede also changes how a boot ages. Nubuck shows scuffs like badges. Suede softens, darkens a touch at the creases, and starts looking like yours instead of the store’s. On a boot built for a decade of winters, that aging is a feature.
The men’s boot gets the warmest build of the four
Dark Green Suede Holiday is the only color here. The green runs deep enough to read almost black indoors, then shows itself in daylight. Gold eyelets and a little holly leaf charm do the seasonal part.
Under the suede sits the warmest spec sheet in the collection. A TimberDry membrane handles the waterproofing. PrimaLoft insulation runs to 400 grams, the heaviest fill of the four boots. The anti-fatigue footbed pops out when you want it to, and a rubber lug outsole finishes the build.
One color sounds limiting until you see it on feet. A single deep green goes with black denim, gray wool, every flannel you own. Timberland didn’t hedge with options here, and the boot is better for the commitment.
This is the rung built for actual winter. Slush, salt, the walk to the train in February. The suede just makes it prettier than the job requires.
The women’s boot goes burgundy and keeps its own spec
Same tannery, same suede, different recipe. Burgundy Suede Holiday is a deep red that leans into the season without a single jingle bell on it. Extended sizes are on the board too.
Don’t assume the spec sheet matches the men’s boot. It doesn’t. Waterproofing here is seam-sealed construction rather than the TimberDry membrane, and the PrimaLoft fill drops to 200 grams. Lighter, still properly warm. The anti-fatigue footbed stays, still removable, and so does the rubber lug outsole.
Read the two boxes side by side before you buy a matching set. The colors pair up beautifully. The builds are cousins, not twins.

Junior brings the holiday green to kid sizes
Junior is the Premium 6-Inch Waterproof Boot in Dark Green Suede, one of five colors for this boot. The holiday green is the one wearing the C.F. Stead tag in Timberland’s photos. Shoppers have been kind to the line so far, with a 4.81 average across 144 reviews on the product page. Black, wheat, and gray nubuck round out the color list for kids who refuse the theme.
Underneath, the build shifts to kid duty. An EVA footbed replaces the anti-fatigue one, the collar is padded leather, and the ReBOTL fabric lining is spun from at least 50% recycled PET plastic. PrimaLoft still shows up at 200 grams, and the waterproofing is seam-sealed. School-run puddles don’t stand a chance.

Youth is the smallest rung on the ladder
Youth runs the same recipe as junior, sized for younger kids. EVA footbed. Padded leather collar. ReBOTL lining, 200 grams of PrimaLoft, seam-sealed waterproofing. Six colors wear this boot, and dark green leads the set.
Youth carries a 4.58 average across 79 reviews on its page, and the color list runs to six, wheat patent leather included. Kids who outgrow the green by February still have a boot.
At $110 it’s the cheapest way into the collection. Matching family photos are a completely valid reason to climb the whole ladder. You know who you are.

One suede, four budgets
Most gift guides split families into separate lists. This collection skips that. A dad in the $230 men’s boot and a kid in the $110 youth boot are wearing the same idea at two heights, and the women’s burgundy might be the best color of the lot.
If your household already argued over Timberland’s Snoopy boot this season, call this the grown-up counteroffer. Pick a rung. Holiday colors in popular sizes rarely sit around until spring, and these prices are the launch prices at Timberland’s own store, no middleman markup in sight.
