I wore these while going about my day to day, nothing outrageous
The leather feels practically indestructible. It just doesn’t care and it develops beautifully. I love the way the waxes redistribute, resulting in some really dramatic changes in color but texturally as well. Care routine consisted of a hose and some brushing. Pretty much zero maintenance.
The last is the one thing that kept me from wearing these as much as I would’ve liked. My foot just never really settled in. The wider and slightly longer toe box gave my forefoot just a little more than needed and I prefer a slightly snugger fit.
These are gorgeous and I’m disappointed that they weren’t as comfortable
No complaints about the lug, but the ball to heel angle is a little higher on the left boot, which caused a bit of a pressure point on the heel.
I’d absolutely recommend Parkhurst, but you might want to verify your sizing before taking the plunge. They’re well made and look terrific.
