Great review, Tek. I think a little bit more of the leather than it seems you do, I find it supple and although it does crease, it seems to do so in the right places, and without the grain or wrinkle usually associated with CXL or other pull ups. I gather that is because it is a proprietary make and stuffed with a different amount of oils. I like this boot above all the other Parkhurst models and have a second pair in Mahogany on its' way. The quality and build are excellent and I like them more than the Indy for color and construction. They are quite comfortable out of the box and easy to spend a day in comfortably. I agree, casual to business casual is as far as I'd feel comfortable wearing them, with a blazer or sport coat, but not a suit. Thanks again for your review.
Always anticipate your reviews and look forward to them. Excellent timing, as Parkhurst has indeed restocked the Niagara just recently. Different subject, but I find myself wondering about your storage setup for the 70+ pairs of boots... Would like to see a video of your setup/display if that's not too intrusive.
Thanks for the thorough review as always. These caught my attention when they were released. I was just on Parkhurst’s website this morning seeing what other leather options were available. I’m looking for a boot this exact style but in burgundy/oxblood without having to pay Alden prices. Keep up the great work bro.
The Niagara is on the Parkhurst site in Mahogany, which is the Burgundy/Oxblood colorway you mentioned. I own the Navy Blue and my Mahogany boots are on the way. take a look.
Great video. I think these are a great alternative to the famous Indiana Jones boots that are $200-300 more. These are waaayyyy better than Alden Indy’s!!!
Teik, thank you for your review. I am in love with those boots! Obviously I missed this opportunity. I’m a 10D in the 602 so if you know of anyone that wants to move theirs along, please send them my way. Subscribed!
Just a FYI. Parkhurst imo makes some of the best women’s Chelsea’s on the market right now. They won my wife over and that’s say a lot for someone that only wears “name brands”.
I'm eyeballing that new hena color real bad. Additionally, I think it would be great if Andrew made high end sneakers to rival the famous U.K. leather sneaker maker
Some well known current European brands like my favourite English brand, Cheaney , Berwick 1707 (Spain), Carmina (Spain) and Carlos Santos (Portugal) spent most of their existence as "contract only" manufacturers and only in the last decade or two started producing shoes and boots under their own names. I'm embarrassed to say my boot collection is actually bigger than yours (and that doesn't include my dress shoes and sneakers) but "only" 24 are from North American brands and the rest are European. (I am trying to reclaim the house by reducing them). Though your interests seem to lie more towards the American aesthetic, I'd be interested to see you sample more European brands. In the sales across here at least, the lower brands like Loake and Barker can often be obtained for the same price as Thursday boots. And Carlos Santos with their cheaper manufacturing costs will sell you a hand painted (sprayed) boot for less than £300 at list price with their various patinas. That guarantees a unique product. Though European manufacturers mostly use calf leather they are gradually making more boots using Chromexcel , Kudu , Elk/deer and shell cordovan.
@@Bootlosophy I'm not the biggest fan of brogue boots myself and have only ever bought three of them, two of them which I still own, a Loake Burford and Cheaney Tweed. And I have never owned a Chelsea boot. The majority of my boots are either cap toe or plain toe. If you look at the boot collections of brands like Cheaney and Loake (and even Trickers who invented the mass manufactured country brogue boot) you'll see that the majority of them are not brogues though I do admit some brands are beginning to saturate the market with Chelsea boots to cash in on its current popularity. It does seem that brogue boots are seen as the classic English boot overseas but actually are not that popular based on models available, though I do suspect that the Stow boot makes up a good proportion of Tricker sales as their iconic model.
I’m one of the “tiny percentage of your viewers who are women” - thanks for the great review! I have larger feet so I sometimes buy men’s boots
Welcome!!!
My wife loves your channel when I play your videos. She says it's wholesome and keep up the good work lol.
🤣🤣🤣She must be the 0.7% female audience!
These look so damn beautiful. Not only is the last well done, but that blue is beautiful.
Great to see a Niagara review! I picked up this boot fall 22' in mahogany and have been loving it but definitely wanted to get more information.
Great review. Thanks for doing a follow up. I thought these looked amazing when you did the unboxing video.

Thanks for another great review! Looking forward to your Viberg review whenever that comes :)
Another fantastic review, Teik. I always look forward to your videos for both content and style...and the addition of the mic is great.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, always a great review

No, you really don’t want to see it 😂😂🙏

Keep checking their website. Andrew announced a restock of Niagara in different leathers coming soon

@@markgillum5709 Cool. Thanks for the update. I'll check them out now. Much appreciated.

great stuff as always. never thought i'd say, dang, i need a service boot in blue leather!

Check the website, they come back from time to time
@@Bootlosophy I do check and I will hope for a rerelease, particularly with that beautiful leather outsole.
Please do a review of Rancourts.
Great review!

your Jim Green video made me get them, should get a referral link
What video is this i cant find it
Such a nice last
Is it safe to brush calfskin with plastic bristle brush?
Not really
I'm eyeballing that new hena color real bad. Additionally, I think it would be great if Andrew made high end sneakers to rival the famous U.K. leather sneaker maker
Teik I am astounded at your 0.7% female audience, mine is like 0.0007%! 😂
Hahahaha! Love it Dale!

I’m beginning to explore English boots. I’ve found them mainly brogues, Chelsea’s and hiking boots but just discovering their derbies
