when i started looking for new work boots i came here to check them out and thought... man thats a good bit of change to drop on boots. i saw the story of Origin on The Outdoor channels American Made and was impressed. so i went down a rabbit hole checking out the other brands that i have wore over the years and none of them had the transparency that this company does on as to where they source their high quality materials. onto the boots. right out of the box you can just see, feel and smell the difference with these. after checking out the different style of boot making i am glad i got these. from the first time i laced them up i knew i had made the right decision. you will feel the break in period but that is short lived. the way the leather on the toe box is stitched right to the mid sole gives my flat wide feet a little more room up front. the cushion of the insole is soft yet supportive. i like the options of the 3 different soles you can go with. i got the standard lug because i am not out in the field as much as i used to be. but they go from work, to chores around the house to out and about without any lack of comfort. and if you love the smell of high quality leather... you'll want to just hang these from your rearview mirror. i'll be back for more high quality U.S.A. made boots.
