You are spot on with comment about not even trying the 79 Last if you have toe box issues with other boots. 100% accurate take.

Wow. You’re the only person I’ve seen on here who broke down a Truman boot. Good job. 👏🏾 I don’t know why it hasn’t been done before. I have Truman moc toes and they are better constructed than red wing 🪽 boots. 🥾. Truman’s are underrated.

For those that don't like a narrow toe box consider the ee width or if truman ever brings back the 20 last, go for that.

The 20 last is still around they just give us 1/5 the leathers of the 79 last

Hows the breakin process for Truman boots in general, and how long would you say it takes until they feel comfortable? The brand looks pretty durable and nice!
@aChannelAboutBoots2 ай бұрын
@@JinsKookieJams Not too bad, I think. It has the usual stiffness of boots with leather insoles and midsoles. After that it just depends on what leather you get. The Gallun horsebutt stuff is pretty gnarly while the double shot stuff is pretty easy wearing.

Think Truman would rebuild the boot for a nominal fee since you're promoting their brand on your channel? Worth a call to Vince.

Holy cow, what a great review! You are severely undersubscribed. Your reviews are very thorough and thoughtful, with really interesting boots. LOL, when you brought out that deconstructed boot, my first thought was, "Was he drinking again?" You sure answered that question quickly. 🙂 Thank you for another fun watch. Yep, you did me one better. Those boots seem to be well made. It'd be interesting to compare the honey Vibram sole versus the V-100 versus the red + (fire) V-100 using your new "hardness meter". Do you think the scale is linear? I.e, would a reading of 50 be twice as hard as 25?
@aChannelAboutBoots11 ай бұрын
Haha thanks. Unfortunately I only have the regular v100 sole, so couldn’t test the other ones. From what I’ve read the shore scales are linear, so double the number should be double the hardness. But I’m not an engineer so I could be wrong.

@@rickc4317 yeah I agree completely. Unfortunately it seems like the majority of people that buy boots just don’t care and want these companies to tell them how luxurious and sophisticated their boots are. You know all that hollow, meaningless stuff that people seem to just eat up.

Steel shanks are nice, but outside of logging, tree climbing and ladder work, I actually think fiberglass is best, especially in every day boots. It has a far more natural flex to it whilst being remarkably strong and has perfect reflex memory unlike steel.

How narrow are these compared to a Viberg 2030?
@aChannelAboutBoots11 ай бұрын
They feel pretty similar. The 2030 (11E Viberg size) feels slightly wider at the ball and the heel. The 79 feels slightly wider at the waist. I wish we had access to the last measurements but that is how two broken in versions that I own feel.
@gnarl123 ай бұрын
Man that 79 last is a toe cruncher.... And Truman barely makes anything on the 20 last 😢
@gnarl123 ай бұрын
A leather heel counter or leatherboard is nice. A celastic one (plastic doped canvas) can be broken / cracked and once molded to a heel they can't really be remolded well.... 99% of all footwear on Earth uses a plastic or celastic heel counter. Leatherboard can also be brken but it's more springy and molds faster than full leather. Full leather can't really be broken and it can be re-molded. Fwiw most toe puffs / toe stiffeners are celastic even if the heel counters are leather/leatherboard.
