Very tasty!

Grant Stone belts are made by Ashland. Good quality belts.

I think the Ashland products are top shelf ! Great looking leather ! Great Video !

There's one aspect of boot enthusiast mentality that I never quite understood. All this focus is placed on the bootmakers attention to detail (stitch density, spacing, location of loose grain creasing, etc.). Then after putting the perfect pair on your feet......it's all about patina (i.e. wear and tear). 🤣

Where do you go to buy?

I love these. What a debut! Beautiful pattern and a well suited last.

Bellissimi stivali!!!😘👌🏻Complimenti! 👏🏻🍾🥂👊🏻

These are so beautiful

I love these!! Where did this brand come from!?!?

So... I'm looking at this and quite taken aback, very fantastic boot. Man. One day I will get out of the $200ish boot space lol.

Beautiful work on these boots. You are starting to get out front of everyone on the newer makers these days. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't understand how they get a needle and thread through all those layers by hand and keep it even.

Incredible boot! The craftsmanship is impeccable. Well done! Would you be willing to share the price for this? And if you mentioned it in the video, I’m happy to rewatch.

Awesome video. Unbelievable pair of boots. You’ve been bringing us some amazing boots!

Can we get links plz?

this boot is pretty incredible.. very interesting patterns on there and the finishing looks so on point

I don’t understand why there’s an eyelet above the speed hooks. Boot looks great otherwise.

Looks good. Off to instagram (i assume) to peruse

5:00 its called fudging not brogueing

Beautiful! Enjoy.

The footbed is full grain leather . The pattern on them are wet molded .

Shit I need some of those

a couple of commenters may have eluded to it: Viberg offers a selection of Lasts and at least one will work for the wider foot. Parkhurst is accepting the 80-20 rule that they're last will work for 80% and the other 20% should just look elsewhere. i'm not going to pay even Parkhurst $$ to be told go up a 1/2 size if you are, say, EE. my opinion, natch.

These shoes are far too good for these shit shoe trees. Shame!

I have _a lot_ of Vibergs, and no Parkhursts. I'll have to try Parkhurst some day. Thanks for the video!

Stirring the Alden pot. 😂

This is an interesting debate/discussion topic. I have two pair of Vibergs, a service boot and a Halkett. Both in the 2030 last, both exceptionally finished. My natural CXL service boot exhibits the best example of CXL I have in my collection -- luxurious, with remarkable depth and shading, just incredible. Both fit me perfectly and are a joy to wear. I have four pair of Parkhurst, plus a Nicks/Parkhurst collaboration. My Parkhurst models come on the 602, 602M, and 618 lasts. All fit very well. Which brand would likely be my next purchase, given a choice between only the two? I would almost certainly buy Parkhurst, for these reasons: 1) the variety of leathers the company is releasing (including multiple versions of veg tan, horsebutt, and kudu, on various lasts); 2) the construction and finishing is comparable enough to Viberg in my opinion; and 3) the incredible price difference. Objectively, Viberg is not twice the value of Parkhurst, no way. For my use cases, Parkhurst is the clear winner. I still watch for Viberg releases, stalk them on EBay, and scrutinize their annual archive sale. But for new boots I would go with Parkhurst.

To make a small correction, Parkhurst uses leather heel counters

What the differences in terms of width and instep of Kirin and Marilyn lasts?

I will buy Grant Stone, Parkhurst and Truman anyday over the insanely overpriced Vibergs. Same or better quality, at half the price. It's a no brainer to me. On principle, I refuse to pay the atrocious Viberg prices.

Parkhurst imo feels like a budget Alden competitor. Just because they’re stitchdown doesn’t put them in the same sentence as Viberg. Parkhurst needs some work their lasts aren’t work wear lasts, I just recieved the 618 and the toe box is low… dress shoe low. The heel counter/ pattern is kind of wacky. The leathers are thin and glove like. The overall boot is lighter and the stitching doesn’t feel like work boot quality. The quality is good for what it is but you’re in over your head saying it’s a good alternative. I think the closest Viberg has had to a budget alternative was Truman back when they did stitchdown, but they’ve clearly gone down a very different path.

i wear 7.5 EE/EEE in other brands. which size do i need in pakhurst?

Hi Ashwin, what’s the color on the Parkhurst boots?Wishing you a great rest of the weekend! ✌🏻

I have owned Vibergs but have always moved them on for some reason or another. I think their last price hike opens them up to all sorts of scrutiny. For the price your paying things have to be perfect. Loose grain, thinner leathers might be okay for other manufacturers but not at 900USD+. As for Parkhurst from your video they look great, but I would consider them closer to Grant Stone in quality.

Great vid! I'm a fanboy of both Parkhurst and Viberg. I love them both. The Parkhurst lasts are probably my best fitting, and Andrew is easy to support because he is great. The new stitchdowns from Parkhurst really do make them a hard to beat place to start. They definetly do have veg tan leather heel counters also. I also love the collaboration between Nicks and Parkhurst (it's a great last). These are a couple of my favorite brands for service boots, so I could go on and on. 😅

Great comparison and content. Parkhurst is really doing something special.

I agree with your review and comparison. It's a big compliment to Parkhurst to be compared to one the best heritage boot manufacturers in the world. I have the same pair of 618 Bordeaux Veg tan and they are incredible.

Parkhurst are super comfortable. I am a Grant Stone guy but I'm starting to lean towards Parkhurst as my go-to brand. They just released the Niagara (Indy boot) in spruce kudu.

I would rather have the Parkhurst all day long. It's just as good as Viberg without the ridiculous price. The issue with Parkhurst is limited sizes and stock. I love my Niagara's in navy calfskin.

I agree. Are vibergs nicer, yes. Twice as nice... eye of the beholder. New to the genre, start with patkhurst till you know what you like

If Parkhurst would just extend that heel counter to end right where the heel stack starts at the arch, it would look much more balanced

I wish either companies boots came in EEE width.

Also have to add that Andrew makes exchanges so easy, vs Viberg's policy and customer service almost non existent.

What used market did you find your Viberg's?

If Parkhurst would make a 2040ish bump toe boot using the 618 last. I would buy nothing but Parkhurst.

I am also proud that Viberg is a Canadian company

I have 5 pairs of 2030 Vibergs and I love them but I never owned Parhust so I can't compare

Great review. Those are beautiful looking boots. I have a pair of Parkhurst (602 last) and find them very comfortable. I was surprised to hear about a celastic heel counter/stiffener in addition to a leather counter. I’ve heard about the celastic toe stiffener, but never the heel. Is that something that Andrew confirmed?

Interesting pair.

What is the music you used in this one? Its almost as nice as these boots lol
