I’ve worn these to walk the dogs everyday, out and about, picking up the kids from school.

Durability

The leather has been tough as nails and incredibly resilient. I’ve covered these in mud and snow, rain and dirt. I just wipe them off and give them a brush and they look amazing. I love the way the leather has aged over the time I’ve worn these boots.

These fit me well. I’ve never had a problem with Truman’s and I’m used to the way their boots fit my feet.

I think these are a great looking pair of boots that are well-constructed with an attention to detail. I haven’t had any issues with the look or finish of these boots.

Sole & heel

Traction
Comfort

I like the sole. It has traction without being cumbersome to walk in or picking up all kinds of rocks like with commando soles. I can walk in most any surface and they are comfortable and I don’t lose grip. It is a nice looking sole and heel and has a sleek appearance.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

These boots are great! They were the pair and leather I’ve always wanted since I started getting in to heritage boots. The leather is beautiful, I love waxed flesh leather. It is really tough and brushes away all comers. They dress up well and can also go with a casual look. I can’t imagine how long it would’ve taken me to get them to this point if I wasn’t doing the Thunderdome.
