I think the extra room will be great for your warmer socks in the winter, as you mentioned. And, the insole idea for summer I bet will work, too. That leather is really something special! Gorgeous.

They look really nice, two pairs of great Truman boots. They like to build chunky boots, including the tongue. But it can be to much sometimes

Truman has some cool leathers. I have seen others make the same comment about the tongues. I opted for Parkhurst on my last purchase. Just seems more refined.

The texture on horse rump is called honeycombing. Also, you can use smooth pliers (not jagged jaws) to crimp down the gusset inside the boot to get them as flat as possible. But yeah, those toungs are too thick and a common complaint of those pre sales. So much so that the ready to go run they have now has the deer hide for the toung.

@@eingames9931 ya it would still be a problem even crimped. It is just too much leather. I cut the gusset down about 3/4-1”. That moved it away from then ankle joint which was causing pain. Someone pointed out Truman realized their error and their new run of Cognac Horse Rump has a soft Stag leather tongue.

If Truman put a leather sole on their boots I would be in heaven!!! I love their leather and their fit and everything else but I don’t really need the Commando sole, lol it’s overkill for my liking. Leather soles would be perfect for my needs!

Do you notice any differences in the heel of each last? I hear the 20 is more snug in the heel, and the 79 EE has a EE width through the whole boot heel through toe.

@@spenserkent I didn’t honesty but I’ll put them on back-to-back and report back to you. If anything id say the 79 heel must be sorta tighter as it didn’t feel sloppy for a EE. PNW builds with E and EE sizing start to get sloppy loose in the heel.

Yeah sizing on Trumans 79 is a bit weird. I had to size up half from what I normally wear in other boots (10E) to a 10.5D. I think the last just runs smaller in general but wide, so kinda like a true to size last thats and D/E width? I'd imagine if you sized 11.5D you'll probably find a good fit.

Good video, but if you’re not happy with the boots then maybe you should try selling them. I’m sure someone out there will want them. Just saying , I also have two pairs of Truman’s and I love them both . Probably the best boots I own.

Truman lists their "wide" as EE , however, it is the same as a Nicks (and probably most boot makers) single E, at roughly 1/4 " per side. it is not a true double wide

@EDHBlvd that is straight from customer service. you also have to factor in the extra 1/8" you are gaining up a half size. but that is still odd to me cause my Nicks in the same size were more like a half size larger than my 79 last in the same size
