Parkhurst Niagara Stitchdown

I loved the look of the Alden Indy, but thought it was overpriced, especially when I was introduced to Parkhurst by Teik of Bootlosophy with his video on the Niagara from 2023. I loved it but couldn’t justify the purchase at the time, and so I waited and waited, and eventually I messaged Andrew about doing a run of the Niagara in stitch down in August 2025, as I vastly prefer the look of a stitch down boot to a welted boot when there is a sharp color difference between the welt/edge/upper. He ended up running the Niagara stitch down in a few leathers, and I preferred the Chestnut to the other options.

I read through Parkhurst’s sizing guide for their lasts on the website and emailed with Andrew about specific sizing recommendations based off my other shoes.

It was easy once it was on the store. Took a while to get the production run going though.
