Truman Boot Co.

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.

Waxy snuff mohawk boots arrived .

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?

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.

Found them very comfy from out if the box to days end.
Not a lot of boots or shoes I can say that about .Found the quality decent and his service excellent .

I am one day going to go to his shop, said I was more than welcome. Just have to pick out a good day to ride over as he is only an hour away from me. I plan on bringing my camera and snapping some photos too
-
Looking forward to your photos and impressions .
Cheers
-
Well looks like I am finally going over to the shop to wonder around, talk and take some photos in a bit then.

Enjoy Jordan . Got my coyote roughouts today .

My pair.The Java Waxed Flesh

Excellent choice mate . My mate calls Truman's the poor mans Viberg .
Well made for the price point I reckon. -
At least you don't pay the extra for the name
edit:
the rest, time will tell -
My mate calls Truman's ( he's a diehard viberg man ) the poor mans Vibergs .
Obviously the price points are very different . I love my Vibergs and the quality
is top shelf , however for the price of Truman's you still get a great boot .Merry Christmas all

I've seen a couple requests for reviews/comparisons between Truman and Viberg. So, I thought I'd drop a couple of pics. I've had the Marrone HH for a few months, and just received the Color 8 Service Boots, today. I won't be commenting on them, yet. I think it's only fair to put some miles on them, before passing judgement….
