Break-In
Hard to believe the evolution. Started off a little stiff. Got softer and softer. The appearance reflected their use. Some tough use and it handled it like a champ.

Beautiful right out of the box. Pristine appearance, which patina-ed well.

I'm Holy Living Hell on heels, and so far, these have not needed replacing. The rest of the sole looks great. Lugs do tend to pick up small stones.
Final thoughts
Would Recommend
Parkhurst is a fantastic brand. Look great. Comfortable. Durable. A bargain at its price.

Parkhurst The Allen in Parkhurst / C.F. Stead Inferno RamblerBy ProletariatPrince • April 5, 2025"I wore these boots every other day during the dome, but I could comfortably wear them every day. These are my current favorite office boot.
