    18 months later, everything you read and hear is still true. I wrote an email trying to get some sizing help, and heard back directly from Andrew in about 4 minutes. Incredibly helpful, and more importantly, it's a great boot.

    Thanks for doing this interview! Nice to know all the backgrounds on how Parkhurst started. Bought my black Parkhurst Allen in December (2019) after seeing Stridewise’s review of the Delaware. I find the Allen is ultra comfortable. I often wear them to work with a suit. I’d say he succeeded in creating a dressy boot, which I find infinitely more comfortable than any dress shoe I’ve tried. I wore the Allen at home for a couple of hours and then just decided to wear them for a full work day: no pain, no blisters. 9 months later, I’m as impressed as I was on day 1. The Red Wing Williston is a close second but costs more and has other issues, whereas the Allen for me is just perfect. Really well crafted. And I cannot over stress how comfortable the Allen model is. Cheers!

    Nick, this video was fascinating, I watched all 21 minutes! Being a native New Yorker and now a Bostonian, I was happy to hear that both states played a role in his line. Besides being a hunk. Andrew really know his stuff! With all your knowledge, you could certainly act in a consulting role on future designs, Thanks so much for this video.

    This was an exceptional video. I loved to hear Andrew tell the story of his journey. I will be buying a pair of Parkhurst boots in the next month. I am an owner of a lot of Allen Edmonds boots and dress shoes. The Parkhurst boots have a nice hybrid look and I appreciate the quality.

    Great Interview, Parkhurst is def the company next on my list! Hey Nick, what is your stance on barefoot/minimalist shoes/boots? I have been looking deeper into it with companies such as Vino but i noticed something weird, there seems to be a lack of GYW footwear in that field . IDK if its interesting of an idea but it seems cool.

    Great to find interviews on how boot makers get started. This was both informative and interesting. Out of curiosity, do you own a pair of Nick's? I don't think I've seen one in your channel yet. Might be an odd novelty to have a pair of boots that already has your name on it from the get go.

    I thinks he’s trying to compete with Grantsone, but the quality Parkhurt produces isn’t there yet. You can tell by the upper stitching, specially on the vamp.
