Seems I joined the wagon too late. Anyone with more experience with Truman Boot notice any pattern in restocking the Coyote or Dark Coyote RO models? They look like one of Truman's flagship/staple models, so was just wondering.
Do they restock at least once every 1-2 years? Or is it really just a random pop every once in a while?
Recently scooped up a pair of service boots in the 2030 last.
Like the fit at the ball, heel grip, and accommodating instep. Fit quite comfortably, like a glove, snug but in a pleasant way. (Only tried them on for like 15 mins tho) Also, this handsome brown suede really grows on me. Checks almost every box I was looking for.
But I just am not so sure about the wide facings and the tongue, which seem so ready to pop out unless laced tightly and with care. (yes, I have borderline d/e width, high insteps and thick calves... ha!) And I think the culprit is the shorter quarters (compared to, e.g., Alden or C&J), which Viberg seems to have intentionally adopted to match the design of heritage military boots.
Bottom line. I like how they currently fit me in the shoes, but I'd prefer a slightly narrower facing to match with sharper business-casual outfits. Then... would going up half a size make a noticeable change? Or should I wait for those leather parts to stretch over wear? Do quarters stretch at all?
Would appreciate any tips!
