Does anyone know if Vince changed something with lasting/production that gives boots significantly more volume? The Dark Olive I recently got is much more loose than the Snuff Mohawk.


Yes, as has been discussed over on Reddit, by a Truman employee, they have made changes, including a thinner sock liner and other things which I don't know precisely.

The customer may have provided the shell in this case, but Truman will be selling shell soon to the general public. I can't wait...

Correct! I provided the shell cordovan as a test but these will be offered in this color and possibly others in the near future. Consider me the guinea pig.

My favorites were the black kudu and the Navy Cavalier

Can anyone please help me to figure out what kind of boots these are? I'm absolutely in love with them. Style/brand? And where I can get them?

I don't think this is the right place to be asking that question

Looking to order my first Truman's, between marrone horse or snuff waxy mohawk. The website pictures look to have a reddish undertone, is this true in person? I like the reddish undertone.... thanks

Just want to give a little feedback after wearing my Blue Madrone's with the RLH sole a ton...this really only applies if you have big feet I think...I am not sure if they offer a bigger size or if if Vince used the largest he had...anyway it really gives you a lot of foot wobble due to the lugs being pretty far away from the edge of the boot...so much so that for a few wears I was getting big toe pain from always stabalizing itself. I have worn them so much that that has stopped.. as they wear down and firm up some(as RLH will do) I do not forsee it being a problem.

Just a word of caution as I can see some hating the foot feel of it out of the box...The blue madrone is so nice that I don't even want a blue shell boot now which was a lust of mine. My boot size is 13 so I could see this being an issue with say size 12 and up.

looking forward to my Java waxed and if any new styles when they hit.
