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

Why I own this

Ready To Wear

I needed a good shoe that could be used for many different occasions from working in an office to going for a hike. The Parkhurst Allens fit all of those needs very well.

How I sized

I found my size based on what other owners and the website said about how the boots fit compared to other similar boots such as Red Wings.

Ordering process

Purchased from ParkhurstTotal cost: 322 USD Lead time: 9 days

These boots were very easy to purchase. I placed my order on the Parkhurst website and the shoes were shipped to me the next week.

Use & wear

I have worn these for hikes, yard work, church, everything except working my job, which unfortunately, requires a specific shoe or I would be wearing these then as well.

Leather

Rust Waxy

The waxed leather has held up wonderfully. It requires little maintenance except for a weekly brush and cleaning. It has excellent water resistance and has formed to my foot perfectly.

Satisfied with the Fit

I love the fit of the 602 last. It has great support and forms to my foot perfectly.

Craftsmanship

Parkhurst The Allen

Very well made. There are a few defects in the welt but for the price I can’t complain.

Sole & heel

Durability
Traction

The Parkhurst lugged sole has held up great over the last few months. Even after many miles or wear, there is still plenty rubber left before a resole would be required. The sole was great for every outdoor activity that I did. It never lost traction and I never was worried that it could not handle the terrain.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

I love this boot. For that price I could not have asked for more. I own many boots but this is now my go to shoe and I will still be wearing this shoe as my primary boot even after the competition is over. I will definitely be owning more Parkhurst boots in the future. I highly recommend these boots as well as Parkurst’s Rust Waxy leather.
