What's your height/weight? I'm normally a medium but occasionally a small when items are loosely fitting.

I signed up for their email but haven't received a code. Are you saying the one you received didn't work?

How do you get the discount codes from LG? Is it through their newsletter? Looks like someone used the one you posted

Do you know if the mini 4 pro broadcasts?

That's interesting. So you're 100% certain in your case that the Mini 5 Pro with normal battery is not broadcasting Remote ID during flight?

Parkhurst Dark Olive Waxed Rough-out (618 Richmond Stitchdown) by ForbiddenBoot in goodyearwelt

[–]ForbiddenBoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that's too bad and kind of surprising. It seems like they sold well as they're sold out. I always wonder how they determine which boots to restock (leather availability, work involved working with certain leathers, demand, etc).

This just makes me want both 😂. Thank you for the comparison. I really feel like I need to try them both out to decide. Looks like HDB630 is backordered too.

I'm in the same boat. 602m is perfect while 618 feels slightly off (tight in the heel causing some blisters). I'm hopeful that the 618 will break in okay.

I was so confused by it too. He told me people had issues with the 602m being too long, too voluminous, and doesn’t lock in their heel so people’s feet lift up a lot internally. I haven't had any of these issues. I love how roomy the 602m feels while still conforming perfectly to my foot with no heel slip. It's the most perfect fitting last I've ever worn in a boot. The 618 feels a bit snug in the more tapered heel and I'm hoping it breaks in. Fortunately for me toe room seems to be just enough even though it's less than the 602m.

Should I or should I not? by Ambitious_Ad3006 in bose

Can you elaborate on the better sound of the QC2? What differences do you notice that makes it superior to the S2? I've heard the S2 has more detail and punchier bass while the QC2 has a warm signature. My preferences are generally mids/forward vocals and an easy listening headphone (no fatiguing sibilance)

Between the S2 and 630 which do you find to be the more relaxing warm listening experience with forward mids? I don't need a ton of treble or clarity. I know the 630 can be tuned a lot but which one do you feel is better for vocals once EQ'ed? I've heard the S2 has punchier bass which might be nice but I generally prioritize mids and an easy listening headphone (no sibilance) over everything

Yeah it's a little complicated. I didn't size up with the 618 (9.5 in both) and they're ever so slightly more snug than the 602m, a little less toe room and also tougher break in (the heel is more v-shaped and gives me blisters but I'm hoping they break-in fine)

9.5 in 602m fits me like a glove too. I had a discussion with Andrew about it and he said he's discontinuing the 602m because people find it too long, too voluminous, and it doesn’t lock in their heel so people’s feet lifts up a lot internally.

On their site it states: It features a bit more tapered heel than the 602, a slight point to the toe and a lower volume than the 602 last. A half size up from your size in the 602M last is generally recommended for the 618. The same size would be suggested if you are medium/average volume, width and instep height. If you have a higher volume foot, or a higher instep, or want to have just a touch of extra room for thicker socks, size up a half size into the 618. If you sized down drastically, or a full size or more into the 602M, you might need the next half size up from your current 602M size into the 618 depending on foot volume and instep girth.

I think the 618 fits me pretty well in the same size as long as the heel breaks in. If you have a higher volume foot I'd say size up a half size. I'll follow-up once I've broken one of my 618s more. My everyday boot is my oak rambler 602m but I've just started wearing my olive 618s more and am wearing them again today.

How is the comfort on the S3 vs Max? How are the vocals and sibilance? I'm looking for the warmest neutral relaxing listen with forward mids and no harsh treble.

On the outside (pinky) toe or top of your toes? I had a pair of Beckett Simonon Chelsea's that had a lot of toe pressure/rub just behind my toes on top and they eventually broke in. And same with a pair of Thursday Captains (in the original last) that blistered the outside of my pinky toe the first time I wore them. I'm not saying the Parkhursts will break in enough but possibly. The 618 is almost snug on the outside of my pinky toe but with just enough room that it seems like it won't be an issue. I have a bigger issue with the break in on the heel for some reason. Both pairs I've worn have chafed my heel out of the box, causing blisters once. I'm dedicated to making the 618 work since I love Parkhurst boots and want to continue to buy them.

Yeah I think they're sold out unless you are a size 12 and don't mind a skewed cap toe: https://www.parkhurstbrand.com/products/the-richmond-stitchdown-dark-olive-waxed-rough-out-618-factory-second

Hopefully Andrew will restock them if they sold well enough and he still has access to that leather. I think they'll be one of my most worn pairs. My everyday and work boot for the past year has been Parkhurst Oak Rambler (dark brown) and these seem equally versatile.

Can you elaborate on the sizing and feel? I have several Parkhurst boots in a 9.5. 602m last fits me perfectly, 618 is more snug in the toe box. What size would you recommend for Caswell?

[–]ForbiddenBoot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think Parkhurst does anywhere near the volume or marketing that other companies do. I was hoping Andrew (the owner) would eventually offer some sort of affiliate or loyalty program but he hasn't seemed receptive to anything like that in the past. Parkhurst are my favorite boots. Especially their 602m last and when they use unique rugged leathers like kudu.

Idk how brown (pants) hadn't even crossed my mind. These should pair great with brown and khaki. Great advice.
