First impressions on the Parkhurst Richmond in Beaver Fur Rambler
Parkhurst The Richmond in C.F Beaver Fur RamblerBy babalu120483 • November 22, 2025"Right out of the box, the leather is the star — distressed without looking overdone, with a natural texture that’ll age beautifully. The profile is slimmer than most lug boots, giving it a clean silhouette while still feeling rugged. Fit is secure through the heel and midfoot with a nice break-in already starting after a short wear. The build feels solid: clean stitching, low-profile welt, and a lightweight lug that adds traction without bulk.
Overall, the Richmond hits a sweet spot: casual enough for denim, but refined enough to dress up. Excited to see how this leather evolves...."Read the full review
The color is amazingly complex and beautiful. Comfort, quality, customer service, are all top tier.

Super versatile, go anywhere boots
Parkhurst The Allen in Tempesti Cognac Veg TanBy ABPhoto • April 2, 2025"I mostly wore these when walking the dog, working outside, and for casual trips out of the house. They do dress up quite well, however. I didn't beat on these as much as last year's submission but I think these took a decent licking all the same. They saw plenty of water, both wet and frozen and the Parkhurst lug soles did great on snow and ice this winter...."Read the full review

Great Boots!
Parkhurst The Richmond in Driftwood Waxy CommanderBy MichaelCarpenter • April 7, 2025"I have worn these boots almost everyday for the duration of the Thunderdome. Only wearing other boots on maybe 3 or 4 days. Being in the winter they got exposed to a little cool to cold weather. On the colder days I wore thicker socks. I used these as work and casual boots. They work well for that , while not safety boots I have those to change to if needed, which is only occasionally...."Read the full review

The Parkhurst Allen is a great all around boot. It fits better than any shoe I have owned before.
