Jeb Bush went shopping at the Timberland company store Friday after an event at the outdoors company’s headquarters, using it as another opportunity to ding Republican front-runner Donald Trump. Bush purchased a bear of brown size-12 boots after touring the store, showing them off to reporters outside the venue. “These are a hearty boot,” he pronounced. “These boots will match up well with the Italian—the fine Italian shoes that Donald Trump wears with his Brioni suits and his $500 ties,” he continued, pronouncing it “Eye-talian.” Bush also purchased a new sweater, joking to reporters that now he has another one to wear on the road after Gawker [mocked](http://gawker.com/has-jeb-bush-worn-the-same-sweater-four-days-in-a-row-1749490314) him for donning the same one for days, donning it inside the store and wearing it out the door after paying for it. > [](https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/status/690562813585178624) > [](https://twitter.com/CandaceSmith%5F/status/690569724338520064) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4190616/bush-goes-shopping-for-boots-and-a-trump-dig/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4190616/bush-goes-shopping-for-boots-and-a-trump-dig/"},"headline":"Bush Goes Shopping for Boots—and a Trump Dig","datePublished":"2016-01-22T17:47:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T14:22:22.022Z","description":"Former Florida Gov.
