Timberland has created a new pair of reptile-inspired boots for children. The brand took a twist on its classic boot style by adding textured leather, made to look like crocodile skin.

The new 'Crocodylian' line is available in multiple sizes from toddler to junior. Featuring a waterproof, thick material on the outside, and a warm padded membrane, perfect for keeping children's feet dry in the outdoors. The soles are a removable 'anti-fatigue' foot bed that provides all-day comfort. The brand originally made boots specifically for the winter, but these versatile boots are designed to be worn in any season.

This new deign is only available for a limited time, and is created with 15 percent recycled rubber on the inside.
