Truman Boot Review + Grant Stone / Viberg Comparison 

i really appreciate the straightforward, thorough reviews. keep it up!

I was concerned about the rough back of the speedhook hardware wearing holes in the tongues of my RW Iron Rangers so I bought kilties to protect the tongues. I ordered them first from Rose Anvil and was very disappointed in how thin the leather was. They would have had holes worn through them fairly quickly. I then ordered a pair from Nicks Boots. They were half the price (with shipping included) and more than twice the thickness of the first pair. And the color matched the RW Copper Rough & Tough leather perfectly. I'm very happy with them and my tongues are protected. By the way, I have 2 pair of Grant Stone boots & love them!

Viberg's are over 800 now! I'm a wide D width and I am exchanging a GS Diesel from a D to a E width. My Brannock size is 7.7 and the Truman in 7.5 fits well. I don't have any Vibergs yet, but I tried on a 7.5 and it was too big. I'm definitely a 7 in both Viberg and GS. Thanks for the video.

Finally, a review off 55 last Truman’s . I have 2 in that last - a stone rambler one and a tan colored Rio latigo one. It’s definitely a sleeker look. I love the 55 last but never see reviews of it

Trumans are killer boots and the natural step up from grant Stones within a reasonable budget. I enjoy both Grant Stones and Trumans which make up a majority of my collection.

Trumans are great. I love my Stone Ramblers and the tongue now matches the leather used to make the boot unlike your older boot. It's quite sturdy and thicker than the tongue on my White's MP Sherman's. They're also lined too.

I prefer the 55 last with the unstructured toe. I have coyote roughouts in the 55 last.

Excellent comparison!!! 😎

Keep making videos and you go big

They barely even use the 20 Last. I think Truman or its main customer really like the 79 Last. However I find the 79 kind of boring and from several folks I’ve talked to, the 79 runs very small. I’ve talked to 2 people who actually size 1/2 UP from brannock. I ordered the 20 Last in my brannock size and they are barely big enough. With a thinner sock they work, but my big toe is pushed in slightly. The whole experience soured me with Truman, as their sizing is kind of strange. I honestly have never even seen a 55 on their site. I find their sizing page confusing. I do not see myself buying another Truman, as the whole experience was a little weird. I do love my Natural Cypress 20 Last pair though. They are super dope and fit good enough to keep.

Ill buy them from you! they should fit me. I wear a size 8 in Thursdays 7.5 in grans stone alden whites

Thanks for a great video. Stupid question, when you lace up which boot’s leather closes the most. In another word, which boot shows the less of the tongue? Thanks again.

Your wall there’s a James Bond in Thunderball

Nice review. I really like their aesthetic and the quality seems appropriate for their price point. My experience on the 79 last is that they fit TTS for my Brannock of 8.5D. By comparison, I wear Grant Stone Diesel in 8D and Viberg 2030 in 7.5E and 8.0E on 2030 last. I think quality wise, that Grant Stone is every bit their equal and maybe even a bit cleaner in stitching. I don't think either are as nice as my Viberg boots. But, I dig them all the same. I really dig Truman's look and toughness. Plus, they are an Oregon company and only a few hours from my home. In addition, the owner of the company is a really good guy and provides good jobs in an industry that I home continues to flourish in the PNW. I hope you find a pair that is your size.

These are great looking boots! Let me know if you sell them, and what price. I may be interested! I have the 79 last in both 8 and 8.5 and both work for me. So I am not sure how the 55 last would fit, but I am always interested in trying it. Truman boots are my favorite boots, not all of their more wild leathers appeal to me, but I love their shape and design.

Have you done/will you do a review on the Taylor Stitch Trench Boot?

those look really nice!

I can't and will never wait months for a boot to be made so I steer away from companies that make you wait months to even a year.

You use name grant stone but don't mention what boot , a better choice to compare with the others in the group should've been the Diesel boots , you have the edward boots , the Diesel is grant stone popular boot not the edward boots

I won't click on an item without a price

I don’t enjoy the majority of Truman’s boots. They’re very bulbous and ugly looking to me. I like the more elegant dress boot aesthetic of grant stone and Viberg.
