Andrew Svisco is the frustratingly handsome founder of Parkhurst, an upstate New York-based boot brand that he founded in his late 20s after starting his career as a desk jockey in finance. The goal? To bring manufacturing back to the States at a not-insane price. The boots are unbelievably cool and versatile and they're completely made in the U.S. I've reviewed his Delaware boots and am currently begging for another pair to try out, because the shoes are solid, beautiful, and well priced. And this isn't even an ad, I just like the dude.
00:00 What's Parkhurst and who is this dude?
01:49 "How'd you get started in the world of boots?"
07:23 "What's the hardest thing about starting a boot company with no experience?"
10:53 "How do you keep prices so low for made-in-the-USA boots?"
14:07 "Why are your boots all made with a split reverse welt?"
15:40 "So who invented the dress boot/work boot hybrid?"
17:40 "How do you convert Alden and Allen Edmonds customers to try Parkhurst?"
18:55 "What have you learned from older boot companies?"

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!

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.

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.

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.
@Stridewise
@Stridewise 3 года назад
Haha thanks George! I do need to get some Nick's, I find the fit process frustrating - I have to print out a paper, measure like 5 sides of my feet... I just have trouble getting the motivation but I really do need to

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.

This is a company that I would like to buy boots from but they dont ever seem to have my size. They must be out of stock or back logged on their orders.

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.
