More about this item
Double upper leather cap toe designSee background
Why did you choose this item?
Wanted to try the new 618 last
How did you determine your size?
Followed Parkhurst’s instructions
What was the ordering process?
Ordered and received within a week
Use & wear
Wore these 24/7 in my laid back retirement life. Worked in these a bit but nothing destructive
Leather
Patinas very quickly because of the wax surface then remains static. Wax conditioning will darken the leather, VSC did not. Moisture stayed on the surface, did not seep into the leather. Broke in very quickly, partly because these boots have no interior lining. Very durable leather!
Fit
While the 618 last is probably great for most wearers, the toe box tapers a bit too much for my square toes. The rest of the boot fit perfectly
Craftsmanship
This is my 3rd pair of Parkhurst and I feel the quality is always excellent
Sole & heel
Grip, comfort and durability are fantastic
Non-marking and very durable
Final thoughts
Huge fan of Parkhurst and I’ve heard nothing but great things about customer service although I’ve never needed any
