I've worn these almost every other day for the past six months. This includes all kinds of weather in the worst winter we've had in years. Shoveling snow and tramping through the rain.
This leather is so tough, it stands up to everything. The patina process is quite subtle. It's starting to fold around the ankles, and like most suede is crocking from my denim. Care routine is basically wear and ignore, occasionally brushing off dirt. After the dome was over I gave them some bick 4. Turns out they were a bit dry. They darkened very slightly.
This is my new co-favorite last along with Grant Stone Leo. Heel lock in is excellent.
These are unlined so a little harder to put on, but no complaints on quality. I love how they look, and the hardware is excellent. I bought new laces.
I'm a fan of the mini lug sole. It's durable with great traction in rain or snow.
Excellent
Highly recommend these boots. I've bought more Parkhursts since.
