Truman Boot Co.

[Akuma no uta]

I really want to try them out as they're based in PA like me, just waiting on a model I really enjoy

[Jestre]

Didn't realize these guys are about 2 hours from me.  Would love to see their shop & working process; the boots look pretty damn nice.

I have a pair coming in khaki chromepak.  I'll report back when they arrive (might be a few months…)

The black wax looks great and less than the Vibergs . Quality looks decent .

Seems to be no way to add to cart on the website to get to the checkout - or am I drunker than I thought on single malt ?

cheers

[EastWest]

I can attest, the quality is very good.

[jock1624]

EastWest which pair do you own ? Throw some photos up mate .

Think for me without the toe cap may look better , have a few toe cap boots already .

[Finkster]

Nice .. very nice Boots!  (Especially that 'black waxed' type)

[jock1624]

Ordered the black flesh . Pics after they arrive .

[jock1624]

Hoping to receive the black waxed flesh tomorrow or after . Pics to follow

Love my Truman boots. Great fitting last and impeccable craftsmanship. These fit great and I could never find a Viberg last that fit me well. I have another pair coming next week.

[jock1624]

Well said above , agree on the fit and comfort . Received mine today and wore
whilst working . Not many brands I can wear out of the box and no pain .

Waxy Snuff Mohawk

So, Vince is located less than an hour from where I grew up (and about 2 hours from Philadelphia), so I had to support him.

First impressions:

Lowers are stiff, tough and beefy. Instep is a little tight, but I'll manage.

Uppers are pretty supple. I like the gusseted tongue. And the speedhooks are a lot of fun.

They aren't too heavy or bulky.

Some slight imperfections that might bother an anal person, but very much in line with the smaller operations I have purchased from in the past.

Very pleased.

They run pretty true to size. I went with an 8.5D based on Vince's advice. I am a 8.5D in almost everything and I took a 7.5 UK for my Viberg Pecos boots. Very similar feel to my 8.5D Russell Sporting Clay Chukkas. A little less roomy than my 8.5D 875 Style Red Wings.

I am going to see if I can meet the man behind the brand, check out the shop and possible put in an order. Hopefully he isn't too far as I live in PA as well.

For you Truman owners, how comfy are they? They are definitely geared more towards casual walking than work/all day. How is all day on your feet with them? Construction as good as it gets? Leather?

[khaki8]

They are every bit as good and comfortable as my White's and Wesco's. They are stitch down construction…same as White's and Wesco. They are all a treat for your feet.

[Jordonf9]

Thanks @khaki8 , good to know. I am really digging the oiled shoulder and the olive he has. The oiled is sold out for now. Hope he is a cool chap and invites me over sometime soon, I LOVE exploring shops like he probably has. Plus the leather smell alone, ha.
