I got a pair of oxblood double shot uplands right before they switched to the ready stock model and they have been the most comfortable boot out of the box ive ever had. Worth every penny
Home repair and boots…nice touch! 😂 Been dying to get a pair of Truman’s so jumped on a pair last week of 79 Last-Charcoal Grizzlies samples half-size down and they were too tight across the bridge and toe box. Shoulda stayed with my Brannock on the 79 last. Buyer beware! Otherwise, quality and craftsmanship was amazing!
I’m an 11C Brannock and Truman recommend I get a 10 1/2 D but kinda nervous to do that. Wish they did like the Spokane makers and had a showroom where you could try on.
@@scottc77 Hear ya…I’d stick with your Brannock but you also are a C and they are compensating with the D which will give you width bc they run tight as I mentioned. If you love the boots style and leather, get you Brannock and you can always return it. Their support was great to me and even let me return a set of seconds.
I have two pairs of Truman boots, and the initial attraction was because of the 79 last which is an old-fashioned work boot last probably from the 1920s. The fit is very similar to Red Wing’s #8 last. I prefer the extra layer of leather that Truman provides between the sole and the boot. I I hope the company continues to be successful, despite having far less to offer now.
Awesome video!! Im so glad you finally did a Truman review. Truman is my favorite brand after Nicks (of course). I disappointed they changed their MTO options and now its only ready made. You cant beat Truman leathers though...if they added some Wickett & Craig leather it would be on another level.
I have 5 pairs of Truman’s (Coach, Stone Ramblers, Java, Dark Coyote & Black Oiled Flesh) and they’re great boots I must say. Normally the boots are made and you just wait 2-5 days to arrive to your door. I’ll never order from Nicks, Whites or the others due to the loooong waiting times, 8-12 months for a pair of boots to arrive is ridiculous, at least for me.
I have a pair of oakstreet boots that have a very similar “hairy finish”!! Not sure where the leather is from. It’s a red walnut color that is very unique! Really love them!! Love yours as well I have about 10 pairs of Truman’s and really love them. They have gone up in price recently but what hasn’t. Love the unique leathers and their customer service is super!! Thanks again
Still the best d@mn channel on CZcams. They have a 9.5D in that Snuff Rough Mohawk Upland that I've been eyeing now for a week or so. For a pretty good discount as well.....$380!!!! That's my exact size too. I just don't know if I'm willing to gamble that much on a non-returnable pair. These were worn as a sample, and I'm sure they spiff them up a bit before sending them back out, but I just don't know if I'm comfortable with it......🙌 I am super interested in the brand. Especially given the insight you've provided. I trust your opinion on products, and I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule, to make these productions, and share that insight with us. My hats off to you, Sir. Wear them in good health..... 🥃
I got their Black Oil-Tanned Roughout. It's the Mohammed Ali of leathers -- gives and takes a beating while still looking just as pretty as the day it was born.
Hey, I don't know if you're putting together your yearly Flannel video yet, but I'd love to know your opinions on The Vermont Flannel Company. They seem like they'd be a good fit for your channel. Cut and sewn in the USA!
I have a pair of the double shot cap toes in brown...want to get a pair of their cypress. They recommended a D they're a bit snug for my taste (I used their form and told I'm an 11E in Nicks' and those are perfect) so probably got to their EE. I really like the way they do their welt...much cleaner than my Nick's and JKs.
Really enjoyed this review, Carl. Unique boots for sure and all of your thoughts were right on, too. Likely you mentioned this but I missed it, what is the typical lead time for Truman boots? Thanks for showing us these cool boots. "Like on our first date." LMAO! As an aside, you're sure right about some PNW boots being used for casual wear. My Nicks chocolate shrunken bison boots are my "goin' to town" boots.
Love your content. I always reference your videos when shopping for a new item. I just discovered "Truman Boot Co." I ordered the coach ramblers. I also just ordered a Filson Tin cloth Jacket. I love the heritage look and I am amassing a nice collection of pieces.
I don't see this leather on the Truman website (is it a members only thing?) but I was just looking at a boot Bordon released with a very similar CF Stead leather and it looks pretty awesome
Truman cycles out what options are available based on their leather stock. I also think they are trying to switch to the ready-made boot model. These ones have just cycled out, but they might come back if Truman gets more of the leather in stock further down the road.
Ack! The mohawk leather looked so cool! Great choice. How are you finding the fit of the 79 Last? Did you get a wide size? I'm afraid the heel-to-toe ratio wouldn't work for me: too much room in the heel and not enough on the pinky toe side. I'm planning to visit them and Baker's to do some fitting later this year.
Between you, roseanvil and doomsday prepper er i mean wranglerstar are the reason I own and will only buy high quality PNW boots. Thanks for the great content over the years.
It’s difficult to hunt muppet, but all you have to do is ask a simple question out loud. Like “I wonder what 4 plus 1 is?” Then just grab the little bastard.
It wasn't immediately apparent in the b-roll shots so I'm wondering if the tongue on these is gusseted or not. Even if it's only up a few eyelets it'd be better than nothing.
It’s not fully gusseted, and you can see a shot where I pulled the tongue out. I believe it’s in the second half of the video, but you are correct in your suspicion.
@@CarlMurawski Thanks Carl. I saw that shot and assumed the worst but I thought inquiring would be a good idea in case it was only done up a few eyelets or something. Thanks for the reply!
@@CarlMurawski also Carl , plz do a review on a boot company called Chisos , and review their roughout #2 boot. Or a #1 , whichever toe ya like best !!
Am I the only one who personally doesn’t like speed hooks? There’s so many boot brands that I love, that I’d like better if you could choose full eyelets over speed hooks.
I still can't completely determine if their boots are "worth" the money because I have yet to see a pair cut in half or taken some in for resole that they were supposedly changing some aspects of their production, blah, blah, BUT they typically look nice and fit correctly.
But I still complain that they usually put the outsole I don't want or don't have the higher shaft height and all that, which kept me from buying one pair because I didn't need ANOTHER 6" boot when I liked the color a bit.
Do you just come to my videos to leave rude comments followed by a “🤦🏻♂️” emoji? You left another one on my John Lofgren video immediately before this. These videos take a long time and a lot of care to make, and it’s okay if they’re not your thing. Still, there is no need to keep commenting the way you are.
All about the unique leather🙌 loved the video Carl
Thanks brother!!!
Did you just show me how to replace a window? Or did I just imagine that
I am still laughing at your comment
It's either a hallucination or high art but I don't know which
He is already planning for the next treasure hunt
Omg, I fell asleep watching this and was wondering if I dreamed that 😂
You are welcome 😂
Seeing your channel go from low-mid quality video’s to very well made high quality video’s is awesome! Keep crushing it!
Love the speed hooks going up to the top! RIP Chewy
Man. I don’t need another pair of boots, but ‘Wookiee’ would be a nice addition to my stash.
A window removing tutorial and a boot review...
Two things I thought I would never see combined in a video
Came for the boots and stayed for the window replacement
😂
Man, you were smart getting in early on those Kreosote Nailshank boots. I think you said you paid $900 for your pair, they're now commanding $1850!!
I know man, I really lucked out and hate to admit that I might be partially to blame for their price increase… 😣
That new window should last... sizing boots is a pane
Very good!!
Delicious pun!

Great video Carl. I’m a fan of Truman and have a pair of grey kudu moc toes that get tons of compliments from people; mostly due to their uniqueness.
I have their Stone Ramblers and i love them. All the Rambler leathers are awesome tbh.

Ah, so that’s where Fozzie Bear went.
Wakka wakka!
I love the look! Surprised they weren't designed with work in mind first.

Do these come As a pair of loafers
If they do, I’m selling these!
Jim Green African Buffalo leather
I'm here for the window replacement tips 😂
That's some dope leather. Love it.

@@CarlMurawski I can't wait. That's always a video that I look forward to every year.
I would buy a pair of these... They are long gone.... Hope you still have them.
Love to see your review of Truman Moc Toe in Shrunken Bison.
Very interesting texture
It really is!

As an aside, you're sure right about some PNW boots being used for casual wear. My Nicks chocolate shrunken bison boots are my "goin' to town" boots.
truman has pretty much stopped doing made-to-order and now you can order their boots readymade - no lead time.
For sure! I believe their lead times have shrunk substantially, with most boots being ready-made and only being a few weeks out.
Wooden-framed windows are a pain in the ass to maintain. Always went the aluminium route.
Give me the rough mohawk with my punk mohawk and the perhaps the chicks will think im a hunk! Really cool video.
I guess wookie leather isn’t such a stretch seeing as how Boba Fett wears wookie scalps as trophies.
Damn, Boba Fett was a savage!
I have finally found my community, blue collar workers who care about the gear we invest in. (Also a fellow sparky myself)
Welcome bro!
Fun fact: A shaved Chewbacca looks like Carl.
It will be interesting to see how they patina.
I love this video it has a I found this vhs in the closet. I'm going to use it to record my boot video
Hahahaha
I'm in Oregon, and I wished they had a storefront to visit.
The irony is that Carl was barefoot during this window replacement.
About time you looked at Truman 😊
Agreed!!!
Just looked they only have 1 pair of 9.5D left
These are beautiful

Flat out gone! At least you can watch my gradual decent into madness.
@@CarlMurawski u the man bay bay!!!
I did consider getting a pair myself, but ended up ordering another pair of Nicks
Have a great day!
You too!
Great vid man !
I really want this brand but living in Australia and the conversion $ is crazy
These are almost Viberg price for me I’m torn
You should release a how-to install Windows 🪟 video.
Ay yo 4:16 first date?!
I don't think those would go well with my cargo shorts, batman T shirt and Australian cork hat. Good video though!
Fair enough!
I'm definitely one of those people who thinks this leather looks like it needs to be shaved.
It reminds me of a cheap Pakistani knife sheath.
Thank you for the great video. Any ideas about new fall drops from Truman?

Cool 😎
How’s the sizing ? True to size ?
As I mentioned, they run about 1/2 size large in my experience.
@@CarlMurawski so , do ya wear the same size in iron rangers as this boot ? Just curious ?
@@CarlMurawski also Carl , plz do a review on a boot company called Chisos , and review their roughout #2 boot. Or a #1 , whichever toe ya like best !!
A half size down from his normal boot size so good luck with that
This channel And Jeremy Shires channel I’ll be coming to my mouth favorite channels on CZcams you guys rock
Not gonna lie, I'd probably watch a "Carl fixes shit" channel.
My version of This Old House called This F#ckin’ House!!!
Window replacement??
This and more in the next season of boots n maintenance
Did you see the mto Truman is running on upland boots?
What animal is the leather made of??? I didn't hear that mentioned
Carl, I have never seen a leather like this one ! Is it cowhide, steerhide, bullhide, or from some other animal ?
Good review, the comments have me rolling with laughter
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Am I the only one who personally doesn’t like speed hooks? There’s so many boot brands that I love, that I’d like better if you could choose full eyelets over speed hooks.
Luckily you didn't have to rough frame that window.
Awesome boots👍🏼
I’ll be going down the Truman route , Java 🙂
That Java waxed flesh is so good looking! Those would look mighty nice with your waxed goods man!
@@CarlMurawski exactly what I was thinking mate 🙂🦉
They are always out of stock on most models. They drag their feet and take an exceptionally long time to deliver any kind of refund
Didn’t know they were in eugebe
Yessir!
Transplants from Colorado..act like it too,customer service sucks,website sucks.
i emailed Truman and they don't have plans to make these any time soon. bummer, i love those ugly things.
It looks like it was chewed and half digested
They have a pair of 9 1/2 D on sale now! 👍. Pretty poor selection of boots otherwise 🤔. Back to Nicks!
Why review a boot that not in stock
Flashback to you and your wife's first date😂
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

I saw other vid where the guy said leather toe caps are overrated, anyway. [as opposed to heel counters]
so they have cork now? maybe that was one of the improvements, but don't know which pairs I got would have that upgrade.
first dates are overrated
Yeah, when I spend so much on a boot, I don't wanna beat them up, either. sigh
I only wear boots when someone is paying me money ..
Well that’s cool, can I wear these because I like them?
Is this a channel on boots or home renovations?
Yes.
It's a split leather, I'd hesitate to call it suede
Straight from CF Stead website: “a high-fashion suede and highly topical, Rough Mohawk is the epitome of rough, rugged natural texture.”
❤reminds me of a good looking woman but with hairy armpits
