I was very surprised at how well these fit out of the box. Leather hugs my foot. I have adequate room in the toe.

Seamless. Click and buy. Website was incredibly easy to navigate.
Everyday since I first put them on. Shop work. Travel. Church. Weddingsโฆand even a funeral.
These boots took only a few days to break-in. They were comfortable from day one. They show little sign of wear and have aged perfectly. They havenโt been cleaned or oiled and donโt seem to need either.
Itโs the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. Not too tight. Perfect toolbox space. I honestly donโt know if there could be a more comfortable last for my foot.
I love the design of this boot. It looks like a classic service boot. I like that the shaft is only 6 inches tall. This makes for everyday comfort. No extra tongue fold. I stated before I have not cleaned these boots once. I think with some saddle soap and some conditioner they would clean up and look almost new. The stitching has held up perfectly. No loose threads, etc.
The sole has very good tread. It is surprisingly comfortable on concrete. My job requires me to stand most of the day on concrete and I have had no foot fatigue.
My heels have worn perfectly. I can really only see a slight bit of wear. This seems to be very high-quality rubber.
This is my first experience with this type of footwear. Honestly, many of the other Pacific Northwest brands were out of my price range. I looked at Nicks, Whites, and JK, but I just could not pull the trigger. I knew I would be compromising a little bit, but I couldnโt justify the 600+ dollars for other brands. After this experience, I honestly canโt imagine what these boots lack compared to higher price-point boots. The leather is durable, the rubber sole is very high-quality, and the boots are perfectly crafted. Truman boots are very under represented in my opinion. During this competition, I have been inundated with ads from Nicks and JK, but I donโt think I have seen one advertisement from Truman. I believe the brand has really been built on customer loyalty. A few notes on the photos. I made sure not to use any filters. No DSLR quality photos were taken. Everything was shot from my iPhone 13. I was also conscious to not throw โlipstickโ on these at the end. As I stated earlier, no cleaning products or conditioners have touched these boots. The patina that is represented is the true, actual patina, without the external influences such as photo filters, oil, and polish. In summary, I have never really considered myself to be a boot person, but after this experience, I understand the value of good quality USA made footwear. These boots will probably last another 5 to 6 years. Iโm sure that I will pick up another pair in the meantime. Thank you so much for this opportunity to showcase my progress during this competition. For all of those involved, keep up the good work!
