Seidel Dark Burgundy Double Shot
I live a life of contrasts and needed a boot that could follow me as a professional (weekdays in trousers, tweed sport coat, and tie), evenings walking and wrestling the dog, weekends hiking with my camera, clearing the back lot, or riding the motorbike. Not an easy ask, but the Parkhursts have proven to be versatile and durable companions; including standing up to Pearl the silver lab (who you can see growing up as the boots age in my action photos—she adopted me about the time “the Dome” began in the fall). The’ve handled all of the above with aplomb. Shoe care has basically come down to brushing and the occsasional wipe-down. And they’ve gotten two doses of VSC during the Dome. I’ve really enjoyed experiencing so many different aspects of my life in these boots, and they’ve earned a life time place in my rotation!
