Blundstone 500 vs Parkhurst Allen

“**Parkhurst - The Allen - Dune Roughout (Read Notes!)** **Size: 9 - 9.5D** **Price:** **~~$300~~** **$205 shipped via USPS Ground Advantage to CONUS** **Pictures:** [HERE](https://imgur.com/a/URGRzGW) **Notes on Sizing**: This pair does not have a size label on it. I am speculating that they are 9 or 9.5D. For context, I typically wear 9.5EE in Red Wing and Grant Stone. This pair has a slightly low instep and is too narrow for me. Based on the [Parkhurst FAQ](https://www.parkhurstbrand.com/pages/faq), I believe these are 9-9.5D. In the photo album, I tried my best to provide measurements from the outsole of the boot. **Due to the uncertainty in sizing, I will allow returns (you will have to pay for return shipping)**. **Other Notes:** I have confirmed with Parkhurst (see end of photo album) that these are Dune Roughout boots. As far as I can tell, they are in new condition, if not tried on a few times as there is no wear on the sole and the leather seems untouched. I'll note that the waxed cotton laces seem too short and may need replacement. Otherwise, nothing else seems wrong with the boots. **All transactions will be through PayPal. The price will drop with every BST thread! Please message with any questions or photo requests.**”

“My blundstones failed and they refused to replace them. My girlfriends failed in the exact same way and they replaced hers. I switched to redblacks, as they are better made and won't fail in the same way. Their service soured me.”
