Thanks for the great content. I’ve been waiting to see how the Trumans were built, and I’m now happy to know how well they are made. Sorry you had to sacrifice one of your own, but hopefully it will bring you lots of new subs. Cheers
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.
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.
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?
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.
@@aChannelAboutBoots You know, after thinking about this, this is EXACTLY the type of factual and useful information all of the bootmakers should include in the descriptions of their outsoles.
@@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.
@dalesLeatherworks Your turn!! Let's start cutting up some horserump or stitchdown Trumans and see how far they've come :) Thank you A Channel About Boots, for cutting these up. I have a couple pair and was always curious what it looked like deconstructed. Subbed to your channel. Look forward to the next video
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.
Beat RoseAnvil to the punch, first Truman I’ve seen deconstructed and I have LOTS of Truman boots.👍🇨🇦
Rose anvil would do this unless paid now
@@AmarLaghariYeah, he’s basically unwatchable now.
Thanks for sacrificing these boots. That’s a well made boot. You could have them rebuilt too, give them another life.
That’s a great idea. I’ll try and buy a pair of lasts and try to do it myself.
@@aChannelAboutBoots Please bring us along if you do.
They just restocked these and I placed my order this morning. They look like a great alternative to a desert boot.
Congrats on the pickup man. I was really tempted to get another pair of these when I got the restock email.
Excellent review! I’ve been waiting to see the inside of my Truman! Good stuff
Thanks for watching and am glad you found it useful.

Thanks for watching. I’m happy that someone out there might find it useful.
I always wanted to see the deconstruction of the Trumanboots, I have Subscribed!

Thanks man. I’m a big fan of Trumans too.
I wasn't expecting you to do this.... DANG.... i hate to see a beautiful pair of boots go before their time....
My Vibergs are smooth, but my Truman’s just ROCK!😊
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.
Those boots are so dope!!!😮
Truman boots are really great, I would have to order a pair. But I try not to buy any more boots this year so it could be a struggle
Be careful, their Lasts are drastically different than PNW stuff like 55/67.
New subscriber here. I’ve wanted a pair of Truman’s and was curious to their quality. Those were great, enjoy your new pair.
Thanks man. I hope the video was of some use to you.
Thank you for cutting the boot to breakdown the construction and what you can't see inside.
Thanks for watching! Was sad to see them go but thankfully have other Trumans to wear.
@@aChannelAboutBoots I love my Truman rough out. They get more days a week worn then my other boots.
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.

Damn dude. Thanks for the sacrifice
Haha they were great boots but curiosity had to be satisfied. Thanks for watching man.
@@aChannelAboutBoots I subscribed 👍
Is the 79 Last in Truman similar to Vibergs 2030 Lasts?
Subscribed. Thanks 👍
Happy to have you here man. Thanks for watching.

How narrow are these compared to a Viberg 2030?
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.
Truman coyote boots 😂 I am here all night please tip your waitress
Bad construction for price is expensive
You don’t what you are talking about.
good review, but my god you need to go through the layers faster, painful watching it.
No.
