Timberland

In 1960, the Swartz family introduced the innovative injection-molding technology into the footwear industry. This enabled the production of virtually waterproof boots made in colder temperature form or in tropical weather form depending on the customer, By connecting the soles to the leather uppers without stitching.
In 1973, the name Timberland was born, the name was originally given to their water proof leather boots. The success of those boots were very big to the extent they named the whole company after it.
