Truman Boot Co.
-
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.

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….
-
The Viberg name certainly has the built in prestige and Truman's are
getting more popular .Let us know your thoughts over the next umpteen months mate .

Will be my first pair of boots ever. (Beside timberlands in high school)
Just ordered the Toscanello horse rump boot. So excited. Says will ship mid October.

I've grabbed a pair of almost new Truman boots. They are made from babele bruciato from Tempesti tannery. The quality is on par with Viberg or Wesco. The leather is soft and supple and no breaking in is necessary. The leather is some kind of hatch grain. They are in a size 11.5EE US and true to to size. They are called poor man's Viberg and the only difference is cost. -
I picked up a pair of Truman service boots in aubergine horse rump from Mild Blend in Chicago. My first pair of Trumans. I was surprised that a size 10 fit me so well as I am a 10B Brannock. Nothing beats trying on a shoe for fit and comfort.
The double row stitching is impeccable and on par with the best I've seen. The leather used on the gusset feels a bit too thin. Hopefully it is only an impression which doesn't detract from its durability.
I walked on these all day yesterday with no discomfort at all. The leather is from an italian tannery but I found it similar to Chromexel in softness, suppleness and pullup. My first horsehides and I got a kick at the roll forming on the left boot after using it for one morning. Break in will be quick on these; quite unlike the long time taken on my Viberg brown waxed flesh country boots.

Those are in my wheelhouse…..
Love the colors
