Truman Boot Co.
-
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 -
^ I recently got my first DSLR camera and I'll try a to get a couple better pics of the aubergine horse rumps next week with it. I think their unique color deserves a better pic, especially after some wear. The one posted above was a quick phone pic.
I'll make sure I tag you @Haddtoo 555 -
Thank you … I love them

These boots are now 8 months old but they’ve only seen very light wear. So not much change from new. Hopefully the pics are better as I’m now using a better camera than my phone.
Some rolls are starting to show, more so on the left shoe.
These are on Truman’s burgundy horsehide, a color I like very much but don’t use as frequently as I thought I would.
The leather is very supple and break in was a breeze. These are 10D, and a better fit for my narrow feet than Viberg/White/Wesco in 10D in those brands. Ideally I need to go for 10C in those three brands for a perfect fit but that is an unusual size. Only custom orders or a lucky break on the seconds/used market.
@Haddtoo 555 , did you ever get a pair?
-
Those look every bit as well-made as other premium brands. I should go visit them in Boulder.

I have the Rough Out Coyote and a java wax flesh black boots , which so far are wearing well . Good boots for the cost and they do look similar to Viberg silhouettes in my eyes . Saying that , I reckon people looking at Vibergs then faint at the costs - perhaps stumble on Trumans and go with them from a price point and their designs .

@den1mhead here’s a European stockist. I lulled over a pair a while back but opted for Vibergs instead. https://www.stuf-f.com/marken/truman-boot-co./

Any ideas on how these boots compare against the RW Iron Rangers? I find the Java Waxed Flesh to be a nice add on but not sure if the price is worth the extra 200+ Euros compared to the IR. Any thoughts anyone?

I have been wearing my Truman boots for almost a year now with an additional leather insole that I got from Red Wing. On the left, somehow this sole is coming off more towards the back of my foot when walking. Any ideas on how to fix this? I can glue that to the shoes, but I do not want to do that as I might change for another insole later on.

Big Truman fan here...I own 2 pairs and IMHO they might just be the best value in the PNW besides the White's Perry Select. This is a pair of Stone Rambler which is an awesome leather with tons of character. Rambler leather is from Seidel IIRC and it's a premium leather that isn't sanded smooth like other leathers are. So all the bug bites, scars, veins are still there. Here they are with a brand new pair of 21oz IH555.

My pair of Truman service boots in aubergine horse hide waiting for a bike fill up at the gas station. Still my best fitting pair! Only complaint so far is that one eyelet came loose.
