The 5 Best Truman Boots of All Time

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

Nick and Dale should have monthly videos. Call it Boot Talk or something like that. You guys have a great rapport.

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 😂

[swineburn]

I own the Javas and love them, but there are so many amazing boot companies to explore.

great reviews! Now for a comparison of Truman vs other boots!

[zeroman]

This was a very entertaining and informative video. Gratitude.

I have a pair of natural Derby in the 79 last. Great boots. Truman has a lot of variety.

[erichagen]

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.

Dale’s collection would hypothetically be a worthy boot collection to be accessioned to some kind of fashion or footwear museum!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[tommysmith]

Are 23 boots really enough to forma opinion?

[iambretton]

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!

[wildwest]

It sucks you can't get the Stone Ramblers anymore!

[fantus]

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

How did you get the storm welt on the Truman boots? What year were they doing a storm welt?
