Does this boot fit true to size?

No. The fit is described as small, so most shoppers should go up a size from their usual.

How does it differ from a classic suede desert boot?

The upper is nubuck and the sole is a lug sole instead of flat crepe. That gives more grip and durability but a heavier, firmer feel.

The lug sole handles wet pavement well, but nubuck is not waterproof. Treat it with a protector and expect water to mark untreated nubuck.

What is the upper made of?

Nubuck leather with a technical fabric lining. It contains non-textile parts of animal origin.

What kind of lacing does it have?

A lace-up front with a round toe and brushed trims.

Our take on the Timberland Man Ankle Boots Taupe

A Timberland desert boot in taupe nubuck, built on a lug sole rather than the flat crepe sole of the classic chukka. Lace-up with a round toe, brushed trims and a technical fabric lining. It suits people who want the desert boot shape with more grip underfoot for wet pavement and light trails. Against a Clarks-style suede desert boot it trades softness for a chunkier, more weather-ready sole; the trade-off is a firmer, heavier feel and a fit that runs small.
