Truman Boot Company has filled a compelling niche in the boot industry, making super rugged, chunky, bulletproof boots that come in the most innovative and unusually colored leathers you can buy. Sure, there's plenty of tradition browns and blacks (some of which are on this list) but I'm wild about how willing they are to innovate and bring fantastical colors to the world of button down traditionalist footwear.

Thanks so much Nick for hanging out and taking the time to check out my collection!!! It was a blast and I learned a ton about upping my video quality and delivery!! One question I get often is "what is your favorite pair of boots?" and it's such an impossible question to answer. But I think it's videos like these that force me to at least start narrowing in on what could be my favorites :-D
Always awesome when you guys collab.
It was such a pleasure, and thanks for taking me out to dinner afterward with your family :)
Love these collaborations with Nick and Dale..You guys are a couple of RUclips all stars! Excellent content brothers 😎👍
Cool stuff. Can you do a video on the boots you have from them that are on their 55 last? What are your thoughts related to that last? It appeals to me because it sounds like it’s pretty low profile.
Nick and Dale should have monthly videos. Call it Boot Talk or something like that. You guys have a great rapport.
Blokes Who Love Boots talking about ...boots.
Been watching both of your videos for years. So awesome to see a collab.
I’m loving these creative video topics, Nick 🙌🏽 Super cool to watch….Especially ones featuring Dale 😂
Great review Nick! I really enjoy the collaboration videos. I just received my Coach Ramblers and I'm in the process of breaking them in. Really is a beautiful unique leather, I don't have a waxed boot such as these and I'm really curious to see how they wear. Dale is a great guy as well and his "Truman Expertise" convinced me to get them. You should try a new pair to see if the new last has changed for you.
I own the Javas and love them, but there are so many amazing boot companies to explore.
Awesome video, both reflect their enthusiasm about boots. I'd love to hear about how the construction quality of Truman compares to other brands, like Grant Stone, Parkhurst, Viberg, Red Wing, etc.
This was a very entertaining and informative video. Gratitude.
Glad you enjoyed it! Grateful for you too dude
Dale’s collection would hypothetically be a worthy boot collection to be accessioned to some kind of fashion or footwear museum!
great reviews! Now for a comparison of Truman vs other boots!
Exactly. This looks rugged but how does it compare to a PNW boot. I wish rose anvil did a “cut in half” video on some Truman’s too to compare leather thickness, if there are any synthetic materials and such.
I have a pair of natural Derby in the 79 last. Great boots. Truman has a lot of variety.
Thanks for the review! It would be nice to hear your take on the fit of the newer 20 last. It's supposed to have a narrower heel. I know you weren't super happy about the big heel in the 79 last.
Ordered a pair of black shrunken bison after watching one of your old videos with Dale. Truman should give you both a free pair of boots for all the publicity. I wouldn't have known about Truman if I hadn't been subscribed to Stridewise.
I know right! I want to update my review now that they have new lasts (and now I'm better at reviewing heh)
This guy has a dream boots collection
my top 3 trumans are the asphalt maryam horse rump with gray and olive tones in the light. the black burgundy rambler and the scuff off have gotten the most wear so far.
Thank you , good information 🙂 I just found out about a month ago about this wonderful company 😃 if I knew about Java Wax flesh I most definitely would have gotten them first 🥇 I have some double Moc upland toe boots being made for me now .
Love the videos man! I have a video idea if you’d be interested in hearing. I’ve been into boots and my girlfriend is beginning to get into them too, and I would love an introduction to boots video. Something covering leathers, lasts, brands, heel heights, soles, uses, and styles. I think it would be popular and very informative for those just starting out on their boot journey. Your channel is so nice because of your simple breakdowns and I would love a boots 101 intro video to share with her and my other friends new to the boot scene. Regardless, I love the content!
solid idea, dude! i'll definitely get around to it haha I added it to my list :D
Hey Nick and Dale. Always enjoy these collaboration vids. I noticed a pair of boots with kilties . Any suggestions on how to keep the ends flat instead of curling up ?
Sweet collection Dale! I own a newer pair with a beaver kudo finish. LOVE em. Curious if you have any kudo finishes and if you should condition these or leave be in hopes of rough outs?
Thanks to watching Dales videos I own 4 Truman boots. They are great boots. Step up from Red Wing and feel indestructible. Quality is there and price is not bad for what you get.
Agree! Their price has gone up and down a ton over the years but when they're under 500 I think they're a good buy
@@Stridewise how would you compare a pair of Truman's to a pair of Nicks boots (if both were using Java waxed flesh)?
@@jaystavros7177 I've had both and the leather is about the same, the difference is in the soles. Nick's are way stiffer and harder to break in. also the lasts are different. Nick's is rounder in the toe, Truman is slightly more almond and fit and feel similar to viberg 2030 last. Truman has been more comfortable from the jump in my opinion
@Joshua Jones thank you for your reply. Sounds like the Truman's may be more my style. I'm a fan of the Grant Stone Leo last's almond shape so Truman should be right up my alley.
I love Dales passion lmao
I just got into gywed boots and I just got a pair of Thursday Loggers in Cacao. It's similar to the Java waxed flesh and Eric is right. The Java Waxed flesh is a one and done boot. I can only afford the Thursday Loggers in Cacao but my grail boot is the Truman Java waxed flesh cap toed boot. It only looks better and better as the longer you wear them. I can't wait until the nap comes through on my Loggers in Cacao. I also have the Captains in Black Classic and Arizona Adobe.
I ordered the cat tail rough out tan boots. A word of warning, expect shipping delays. The package shipped a week ago and it's still bouncing around FedEx facilities on the West coast. I'm in NYC. Who knows when I'll get them.
After this video I will definitely try Truman boots myself
Really appreciate the reviews on the Truman boots. What is your opinion on the Eugene soles? I really like the black tea core. On their website it’s listed with the Eugene soles. Not sure if they would work. The commando soles would be more well rounded in different uses. Not sure I can get the commando soles on the black tea core boots. Thanks in advance
Let’s see a review ranking boots by comfort! Hard to find something that provides all-day comfort on concrete sidewalks or where gravel won’t transmit through, especially in a more dressy style (looking at you, Thursday President)
With all the leather he has, he probably has wiped out an entire farm of animals.
They'll all be waiting for him in the afterlife
I love the blue boots they have
Do you have any from their Colorado days? I remember them back then, didn’t have the extra funds back then but my daughter was at U of Colorado then and I went to visit them in a trip to Boulder but they were closed. Back then it seemed like all they made were of of kudu leather and there were some white with a bit of grey that were awesome. I don’t recall the name. It was circa 2016.
JWF Upland coming soon! Hope it's a MTO with 20 last included 😂
Can you just use shoe cream on the waxed flesh to restore it to the original aesthetic and texture or once boot wears in are they never the same? How do you feel the re-waxed leather looks and feels compared to factory fresh? I saw a post from Nick Horween that mentioned just applying venetian cream
Are 23 boots really enough to forma opinion?
hahahaha
I think the cattail grizzly rough out doesn't get the attention it deserves. Very comfortable from day 1 and a perfect shade of mid brown.
How should I size diesel boot storm suede and the brass boot when I size 7.5 on iron rangers and 8 on moctoes? ( redwing)
Hi Dale, what is name of the white boot right next to the Gobi one?
Bay double shot upland moc toe I hope I like them 😃
My Truman’s weigh 2.5 lbs each but don’t drag your feet. Can’t say the same about my equally heavy grant stone brass boot. (Which I like but are Frankensteinish)
Hi Nick, I'm just curious if you know the style of boots that is third (from left to right), in the first row? I'd greatly appreciate it - thank you!
gimme a time stamp?
It sucks you can't get the Stone Ramblers anymore!
They'll be back
Dale, Truman has a current MTO on a Crimson Boot. Is this one the same as your Red Truman Boots?
Im surprised dale didnt include aubergine horserump, thats the pinnacle among trumans imo
Heck it, this is the pinnacle of Americana boots. i want java flesh Truman boots.
Which last was the 2nd boot?
How do I access your products
Hi Nick, are you going to do a new review of Truman boots and compare them to the ones you bought a few years ago?
I'd like to but Truman doesn't get a whole lot of views!
@@Stridewise I would love pair of the Java Wax but I would need to import them, it’s so hard to get the boots you review in the uk. There is less than a handful of shops that sell Red Wings so smaller companies are a nightmare to get. Most of the uk boot makers seem to make brogue like boots so it’s always the same looking styles and colours.
Thanks for the review. I’m glad I ordered the Java Waxed Flesh (20 last) a week ago. I imagine Truman will be backlogged soon after this video.
How does the 20 last compare to the 79?
How is the break in period and are they ever comfortable? I’ve had boots throughout my career that took a while and never really settled (Cocorans) and others that fit like a glove after a few ruck marches. Hoping these will be suitable for trail hiking in the future.
Same here! Ordered 2 weeks ago and can’t wait!!
I just ordered some. So if you want the leather to get fuzzy and light brown, does that mean you don’t treat it with anything at all? If so, doesn’t it dry out and isn’t that harmful for the leather ?
@@timfok18 I’ve only had mine for 2-3 months now. They’re showing a little bit of wear and I’ve not treated them. They look great and no sign of drying out. Hope you enjoy.
How does Truman boot sizing compare to sellers like Wolverine and Thursday? For example, I wear a 14 in Wolverine, but a 15 in Thursdays.
For me they are true to size. im a 9 on the brannock, red wing 8.5 and trumans 9.
@@liljuanito123 this is also my experience. Brannock 8, picked up a pair 7.5D coach rambler. A touch too snug in the toe box/forefoot. True to size would be much more comfortable.
I would say go with the wolverine size. I wear 8.5 in wolverine, redwing and now Truman.
@@jiafei6833122 hey I’d love to buy your 7.5 if they don’t fit you and you don’t want to keep them
@@sfrank7799 yea sure. i’ll set it up when i get home from work. You on stitchdown discord?
79 or 20 last? The description on the website doesn't go into much of a difference.
Saying horsebutt has no advantages over cowhide is a mindblowing statement. Wow
Either your foot is as wide as a bus or the side panels of the boots are too small
That's a lot of boots.
The only one still in production is the waxed flesh...
Does that aero guy have to be in “ every” boot video?!
he's in like 2 of my 200 videos what are you talking about
Are these fashion boots? I walk in rough, rocky, wet mountainous terrain 300 days per year. I see another human about once a week. I don’t care about looks. I need tough, never break down, waterphobic grippy, steady-on boots. Are these that?
Boots like these are half form and half function. Sounds like you might need a dedicated hiking boot or something more heavy duty like Nick's, Whites, etc.
The slurping as you talk is unbearable.
I don't like Truman Boots, they look to clunky
Would you recommend getting a "structured toe or unstructured" when buying Truman? I was going to get the toe cap so it will have extra leather I assume, but I don't want it drooping down as it's worn in. I don't need any toe/foot protection, just purely want the toe to stay as original long-term as possible. Thanks for your advice. Also, how's your experience been w/quality control? I've read some pretty unhappy customers & was wondering if they've addressed that and you'd be cool w/spending $570 for a pair when I could get tried & true Nicks...but the Truman leather is out of sight & my 1 pair of Truman's is definitely top 2 favorites. Customer service via email only, real bummer. The toe cap questions is the most important. I'd really appreciate your advice, and even your opinion on a Nick's "celastic toe" reinforced option vs "unstructured," if you know? Stoked they listed to me when I asked they offer their best selling boots, specifically the Coach Rambler in 8" or "Upland" and other options for customers who wanted to design their own boots, and they did it...so I'm buying a pair for sure but wonder if you'd recommend going structured even w/a toe cap and plain toe boot from Truman? Thanks much! wT
