    Origin knocked it out of the park with this one!

    I was initially hesitant about these boots since they’re a new style from Origin. However, my first impression is outstanding—exceptional quality, styling, and fit. There’s no heel slip, and the toe box is perfectly sized. Supporting a company like Origin, which manufactures in the USA, is a priority for many of us. These boots justify the premium price compared to overseas alternatives. Not only are you backing American craftsmanship, but you’re also getting a superior product. Well done, Origin!

    Very pleased

    I wanted something Made in the USA, with a wide toe-box, with really good leather and styling, a good fit, and that would be my first high-end boot that I could have repaired in the future. I got this, except I messed up a little on the sizing. This is not Origin's fault, it is mine, but perhaps others can learn from my very slight sizing points, so I mention them.

    Among the things I like a lot:

    - I have not previously bought boots this expensive, but I can say that the leather seems to live up to what I would expect.

    - I just love their commitment to made-in-USA.

    - Once I removed the rubber thin sole that comes inside the boot (so that I could put in my orthopedics), I thought the inside of the boot seems quite well squared away. I am used to having to rip out glued-in pieces and/or look at some not-very-presentable inner material, but in this case it looked pretty good.

    - I don't know if I will have the boot re-soled once I wear it out, but I like having that option.

    -------

    notes on sizing:

    - my custom orthopedics take up slightly more volume than the included insole.

    - a shoe salesperson recently remarked to me that as we age, the foot may get a bit bigger in size.

    I should have ordered a 10 EE instead of a 9 1/2 EE, and that's what I'll do next time I need to buy, but I have never successfully ordered any size 10s before, so I was just reluctant.

    Thanks so much for the detailed review, jl! We're really glad the Statesman Chelsea Boot checked all your boxes—made in the USA craftsmanship, quality leather, that wide toe-box you were after, and the option to resole down the road. And we love that you took the time to examine the interior construction. That kind of attention to detail is exactly what we're going for.

    Your sizing notes are super helpful too, and we appreciate you sharing what you learned for other folks who might be in a similar situation. Thanks for being a part of the Origin family and for the kind words!

    Awesome boots

    These boots are amazing. The fit is great, there was basically no break-in needed, and these are the first boots I've ever owned that I didn't feel the need to get additional arch supports for.

    Underwhelming for the price

    The boots are difficult to put on--the height of the instep is snug. Once on, they are comfortable. I'm very disappointed that the vamp of the left boot has a permanent transverse crease as though it had been tried on previously. The boots are also slightly different colors. Not what I expected at a premium price point.
