 G'day guys. My name's Tech. This is my channel Boot Lossophy And I'm really excited today because I'm going to bring to you the unboxing of my very first pair of Truman boots So this is my first pair of Truman boots that I've overordered. So I'm really quite exciting. I got this during the spring US spring seconds and sample sale and This was actually a sample. So it's a brand new boot with no defects. It's not a factory second It's the natural limerick. It's from Seidel. That's all I know about it I emailed Truman to ask what the leather Characteristics were and they said well, it's from Seidel. So maybe you want to contact them. I wrote to Seidel They sent me an automated message saying the sales manager will be in touch with you soon and nobody ever replied. So Bad mark there Seidel. You never know what these queries will go to. Anyway I'm really quite excited. So Let's get down to it particularly as it took some nearly four weeks to get to me. Let's open this up Okay, not the most secure of packaging and inside the shipping box is the Truman boot company box With the dog Truman the famous dog It shows you the model number and the Size Let's open this up in it is a thank-you card With care instructions on the back Two sets of laces a round cotton wax lace and The raw hide or leather lace. I think this one will go on They unwrapped in this nice paper with Truman logos all over it not in a boot bag And there's the first one. Well, my first impression is this is a beautiful leather It doesn't feel dissimilar to Seidel's double shot, which is interesting. Let's get the other boot up There's the other boot Being a sample as opposed to a factory second There shouldn't be any defects and I don't see any anyway It's a nice waxy feeling leather the initial shape I Think will suit my foot because I like a boot with a big wide width along the ball of the foot two-piece Backstay The quarters are triple stitched in a two plus one pattern. Let's give you a close-up very nice pattern boot quite distinct Mini lug cell from Vibram. Alrighty and of course There's the famous Truman box of matches to burn off any loose threads It's a semi gusseted tongue in fact, it's pretty much gusseted all the way up the eyelets There's one two three four five eyelets and two speed hooks in brass The Leather's a nice waxy pull-up leather as you can see full of oils and waxes it's a Two hundred and seventy degree Goodyear welt goes from here to here the sole just Feels nice and solid Reinforced in the toe cap Good solid heel cup Truman label with a size eight. I think we might get these on foot and And let's see how they fit so let's put these babies on and see how they fit and wear it's unlined and Sometimes I don't like that because it sort of grabs at my socks, but That one slipped in quite easily I've put the raw hide laces on because I think with this sort of tan leather they work better Just tying them in a bit of a hurry here. I'm not really caring about the pattern the laces are long Probably long enough to go around. Yes, they are Not my favorite way of tying but you know You do what you have to when the laces are of a certain size Try the other boot on well, they fit pretty good and Just to tell you that in order to choose the sizes I contacted Truman who are very helpful, but I also use the Grail app If you go to GRAYLE.co It's a an app with a database full of users information about what sizes they use Well, that fits pretty good That's a stiff leather Which I'm sure will break in and quite a stiff sole because you've got this Pretty thick leather sole midsole here along with the welt and the Vibram Minilug sole is quite thick anyway. They fit good In two minutes of wear I can't feel any any any wear spots or hot spots, but I Do feel like the sole is going to need breaking in definitely otherwise, I Look to breaking for look forward to breaking these in there really feel good Excellent Well, there you have it guys The unboxing of my very first pair of Truman boots This one is in Natural limerick from Seidel tanning. I don't know too much about the the leather at all It feels quite waxy. It looks very similar to their double-shot leather that I've got in a Parkhurst model It's it's quite a thick leather as used by Truman. It feels very firm to the touch it has a Waxy feel to it on the surface But clearly is quite a tough leather the boot itself brass Hardware 1 2 3 4 5 eyelets and 2 hooks Cap toe with a 2 plus 1 pattern The the quarters are sewn with a 2 plus 1 pattern 270 degree Goodyear welt with I Guess it this is a storm welt in that it's finished at the edge of the flange up the boot the heel is a really solid heel with the leather midsole rubber heel leather heel stack rubber The sole is vibrams mini lug sole Which I've had on many other boots and really is is really quite good for grip and being outdoors It's a very sturdy boot to start with Unfinished edges quite raw Two-piece backstay to give it that really work bootie outdoorsy style. I Think this would be nice to break in it will need some breaking in that's a very tough sole Construction like and I can hardly bend it at the moment. So we'll have to wear that in inside is a Semi-gusseted tongue which goes right up to all the eyelets really and then it's not gusseted at the speed hooks You can see from the tongue. It's actually quite a thick leather anyway. I'll measure it up when I do a review later Yes, so I'll wear this in and as usual After a few months, maybe five or six months I'll do a review on it and then I'll do a further review after a year a bit longer than a year So if you like this video click on the like button and To look at all my other boot reviews and unboxings click on subscribe so you don't miss any take care and I'll see you soon
