So trying to break in a pair of Truman’s in Cheaha. The leather is gorgeous with lots of character and the finishing on my pair looks solid. I’m just struggling with the side panels not overlapping the tongue. Particularly bothersome when factoring in the sharp edges of the speedhooks backing. Tried kilties in an attempt to increase the tongue surface. Still far from a pleasurable experience. Will try some more wears in the house but disappointed nonetheless.

The company asked I send them pictures without the kilties. I did.I’ll update the group once I hear back for sure. I’m trying hard for the pair as I really like them. The leather feels soooooo good. Pull-up for days!

Upon review I was told they boots look up to spec and should break in and become more comfortable. I will keep trying. I will try to hammer and flatter the inside of the speedhooks so they’re not tearing the tongue/kiltie/ankle and if that doesn’t work I’ll have my cobbler take a look.
