Boot and Leather (618 Last)
 
This is our plain cap toe boot pattern called the Richmond. Our Richmond models as of May 2025 will be built with a double upper leather cap toe design. One may perhaps think of this as an Allen pattern with an added extra layer of upper leather over the toebox for the cap toe, as opposed to simply joining the vamp leather to a single piece of cap toe leather.
 
This Richmond model is made with Kudu leather from the famous Charles F. Stead tannery in their Khaki colorway. Kudu leather will have natural scars, imperfections and some texture variation from pair to pair. No two pairs will look exactly the same. 
Our build focuses on enhanced breath-ability and shock absorption in a more natural way by using leather components. Additional build information along with cutaways can be found under our Craft + Build section.

Sizing guidance is general in nature as every foot is different, but we have a few ways to help identify the best size for you. Our customers size down into our boots. From typical sneaker sizing, it is usually a half to 1 full size down. For example, if you take a sneaker size 10 across all sneakers you own, you're most likely going to be a 9 or 9.5 in our boots. Medium width and volume will be size 9, wider width and higher volume will be a 9.5 in this example. Sizing discussions are best had prior to order placement.

602M Last

The 602M last is primarily used for Allen and Richmond production however there will be some moc-toe styles built on it as well. Its features include a roomy fit along with a natural contour to your instep. Along with this comes a slight bit of extra room in that smaller toe region than a traditional D width last.

Parkhurst Old 602 (2020-2023) - True to size. If narrower feet, lower instep, skinny ankles or lower volume feet in general, a half size down may apply.

Brannock - Half size down if D/regular width and volume, full size if narrower, lower volume foot. For example, if you are a size 10C on the Brannock, then a size 9 in our boots would fit best. 

Wide Width's - Take your normal wide width numerical size for E and EE. EEE will not fit.

Alden Barrie or Trubalance - True to size.

Allen Edmond's - True to size if D width. Lower volume/narrower widths may need to go down a half size.

Red Wing - True to size.

Thursday Boot - True to size if D width. Lower volume/narrower widths may need to go down a half size.

Nike - Full size down

New Balance - Full size down.

Adidas - Full size down.

618 Last

This is our newer last designed first for our Stitch-down-constructed boots. The 618 draws elements from both the 602 and original 18 lasts while incorporating some new design aspects. It features a bit more tapered heel than the 602, a slight point to the toe and a lower volume than the 602 last. Additionally, the peak width on this last at Brannock is just over a single E, but not touching a double E.

Brannock - Half size down. If you're a 10D Brannock or slightly over a D width, go with size 9.5 in the 618 last. If you measure a single E width, more towards a single E width or prefer a slight bit of extra room without a drastic length increase, we suggest going with your Brannock size. In this example, a size 10. If you are a narrow width or low volume foot, we suggest going a full size down from your Brannock measurement. So if you are a size 10C or 10B, then a size 9 in our boots would be our initial suggestion.

Parkhurst 602M - Same size if medium/average volume, width and instep height. If you have a higher volume foot, or a higher instep, size up a half size into the 618.

Alden Barrie and Trubalance - True to size if D width. 

Red Wing No. 8 - True to size if D width. 

Thursday Boot - True to size if D width. Lower volume/narrower widths may need to go down a half size.

Allen Edmond's - True to size if D width. Lower volume/narrower widths may need to go down a half size.

Nike - Full size down if standard/medium width, half size down if width is slightly wider.

Adidas - Full size down if standard/medium width, half size down if width is slightly wider.

New Balance - Full size down if standard/medium width, half size down if width is slightly wider.

 

645 Last

The newest edition to our last lineup is called the 645 last. This last is modeled after, and inspired by, the classic Munson last design. This last features a rounder, more voluminous toebox, wider ball and narrow arch and heel. There will be a slight spring in the toebox as well. This is all as compared to a true D width boot or shoe. The contours and shape of this last will be different than those of the 618 and 602M. This will be a different feel and different distribution of natural support. Sizing for the 645 was modeled heavily off of the Brannock device. Therefore, if you deviated from standard Brannock sizing for the 602M and 618, it is possible you may be a different size in the 645 than you have been in the 602M and the 618. 

Brannock - Half size down if you are a D width with normal volume. Full size down if narrow. Take your Brannock size if you have a higher volume foot, are slightly wider or plan to use an insert. 

Parkhurst 602M - Same size unless you had sized to accommodate foot volume. In this case please send an email for sizing guidance. 

Parkhurst 618 - Same size if you sized down a half size from Brannock into the 618. If you had to size into this last based off of foot volume, please send an email for sizing guidance. 

Alden Barrie and Trubalance - True to size if D width. 

Red Wing No. 8 - True to size if D width.
