They just keep getting better and better! I'm so impressed with these boots everyday, still, even now after three months of daily wear. Nice golden hour shot this month.

I owned a pair of Parkhurst Allen boots and really liked the fit. I also owned a pair of Nicks boots and when I saw that Nicks was offering their build style with the Parkhurst last I knew I had to jump on it.
I used my Nicks size for the Parkhurst 602 last. I am just a hair over 8.5 on the brannock, so I should be a 9, and take 8.5 in Nicks. But I usually go with an 8E in Nicks. For the Parkhurst, 8EE works pretty well, though break in is a little tough on the pinky toe for the first couple months. I think for my next pair I will go with 8.5EE.
Easy peasy. Ordered on the Nicks website.
