Sizing Help & Advises

Hey Truman Fans,

I just got and tried the 12 D in Olive Waxed Flesh and here are my impressions and questions.

Width talking, it’s a tinny flimsy on my ball but I’m used to it as I really do have a narrow skinny foot.

Heel is quite good held in the heel cup and this is stunning.

Length, I should say, I think, I’m in between two sizes 12 and 11.5.

Was wondering to try an 11.5 but my question is what’s the difference in length between the two sizes.

I’ve added a kiltie at the back of my heel and laced them like this with a wool sock and should say they are fine, the kiltie is like 2 to 3 mm thick.

If the difference between 12 and 11.5 in length is more than this then I would rather stay with the 12 D in 79 and 56 last and take an 11.5 in 20 last.

Thanks in advance for your help and advises and wish you a pleasant day and weekend.

Peace...!

Sizing Advises

Hello everyone,

I'm a 12.5 B on Brannock device (12 heel to toe and 12.5 heel to ball).

My foot is 29 cm long and quite on the normal to narrow side.

I mainly wear in Red Wing 11.5 D (Iron Rangers or Moc Toe).

Nicks on the HNW last I'm 12 B (Overlander mainly).

White's on the 55 last I'm 11.5 D (Cutter, Cruiser and Logger).

I'm mainly into rounded Munson last boots as I really like to look and design and also even if I do have a narrow foot I like to have some space in the toe box.

Based on your experience which size do you think would work for me...?!

Thanks in advance and wish you all a pleasant day and week.

Peace,

Õnûth

I've got a stunning offer for the Logger 4585

Bought them for less than 100 €, brand new in original box.

I'm 12 EE based on Red Wing paper scale and 12.5 B on Brannock device.

Based on their sizing guide and advises, I should be an 11.5 D and some of my Iron Rangers and Moc Toes are effectively in 11.5 D.

But while trying some Chelsea Ranchers and Beckmans in a store, just realised that some pairs in 11 D were fitting me quite good.

Must admit, I already have some pairs like the Rover for example that are 11 D and they fit me very well.

So seing the very interesting price on second hand market, decided to pull the trigger on this pair and to be very honest I'm very happy.

Should say, karma was on my side, as I've bought some times ago a pair of 899 in 11.5 D, but that pair was a tinny big and also large at the ball for me and after some months not being able to wear them, I've sold them.

Must admit I was regretting, but unfortunately that's life.

This new pair, is kind of replacing, that old pair I've sold, but with a way better fit in terms of length and width.

Shooting some pictures of those bad boys right out of the box...!

Must admit they look stunning and I really love them.

So once again, don't judge the label but always ask for the internal length of the shoe or boot, at least for me works that way and never had surprises regarding the fit for Red Wings.

Truman Olive Waxed Flesh12 D

My first ever Truman boots in Olive Waxed Flesh in 12 D.

Waiting to receive them and I'll do a full review once I've worn them for a couple of days.

Need to admit that I gave them a try on the second hand market first, for a very afordable price, not being sure of the size.

I'm 12 heel to toe and 12.5 heel to ball with B width on the Brannock device.

In Nicks HNW last 12 B works just fine and in White's 55 last 11.5 D works fine, even if a C width it's more snug on my narrow foot.

Will see how those 79 last fit me in some days and I'll let you know my impressions about the boots.

Glad to finally own one pair of Truman...!

Just got my Overlanders in Minotaur Bull Brown 12 B.

As usual no surprises, quality is there and boots are stunning as always.

It's a soft toe and must admit I've realised that only when order was already shipped to me (my mistake when ordering...).

But need to admit, I like more the shape of the boot with soft toe and found it more roundish.

Leather is way more pliable and supple than 1964 ones, being supportive and a tinny thicker.

As per previously stated I'll add some pictures.

Added my Overlanders in 1964 Brown with Celastic toe, to show you that the soft toe looks a tinny more roundish.

Thanks a lot guys from Nicks, you're the best as usual...!

Some shots of my BuilderPro - HNW last soft toe in 12 B in Mahogany Roughout.

Simply stunning...!

Must admit was quite indecided when I've got them, as even if, they are the same last as my Overlanders. I was having a constriction feelin in the toe box.

But it turned out that this feeling it's more related to the soft toe than the length or width of the boot.

Toe box not having the celastic cap, is molding and collapsing more on my toes, giving me that pseudo sensation of so called "constriction".

Had some neverending questions also with my BuilderPro ThurmanNW, when I've got them, because I was finding them a tinny flimsy and was thinking of going down to 11.5 C instead of 12 B.

But, with patience, wear and breakin, finally my size is 12 B and like both boots very much.

Btw, waiting for my Overlanders in Minotaur Bullhide Brown to to arrive and I'll post some pictures.
