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.

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?

[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.

[jock1624]

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

[jock1624]

Looking forward to your photos and impressions .

Cheers

[Jordonf9]

Well looks like I am finally going over to the shop to wonder around, talk and take some photos in a bit then.

[jock1624]

Enjoy Jordan . Got my coyote roughouts today .

My pair.The Java Waxed Flesh

[jock1624]

Excellent choice mate . My mate calls Truman's the poor mans Viberg .
Well made for the price point I reckon.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

At least you don't pay the extra for the name

edit:
the rest, time will tell

Would love to see a review/comparison between Vibergs and Trumans at some point.
