The toe protection is misaligned causing a raised ridge across the shoe.  This defect is obvious when the insole is removed. It is very uncomfortable to stand on.  Amazon sent a replacement pair that has the same manufacturing defect.  I am returning both pair.  I am very disappointed that Timberland would sell shoes with an obvious defect.  The &#34;Made in China&#34; label is very telling.  I spoke with Timberland customer service and the rep agreed this is likely a manufacturing defect.  It appears Timberland is not concerned about these types of problems.
