Boots look and feel great. I only had 1 issue. Mine came with a slight defect in the tongue. A very minor cosmetic mistake.

Definitely the best work boot I’ve ever purchased, period. I have a lot of the PNW brands, and while they’re good, I only consider the Origins great. First day break-in was almost non-existent, and that’s with the included insoles which are still in there! All my PNW shoes have AM insoles in them. I found the bison to be soft and flexible. The only thing I could nitpick at is the area where the leather which has the eyelets in it meets the toe, they’re both lifted and curled up a bit on each shoe.

The boots look superb and I love the ethos of the company and sourcing of materials. The quality control of these however is pretty poor. There are observable and measurable differences between the left and right boot. I'm not a boot enthusiast by any means and the following may not be the correct vernacular but between the right and left boot, the upper/quarter part of the boot where the lace holes exist is stitched onto the vamp (again, apologies if this isn't correct terminology) incomparably. The upper/quarter on the right boot is stitched onto the vamp both lower and more toward the toe than on the left boot. For the sake of measurable comparison, I counted both "lines" of visible stitching on the "swirly" stitch part of the boot on the inside of each boot. The left boot has 52 visible stitches and the right has 45. So, practically, the upper on the right boot is roughly a quarter inch lower than the left. While this may seem trivial, it is not. This results in two boots that largely look the same but wear completely different. If it was just aesthetic, I'd shrug it off but the variation in construction causes variations in break-in and wear and thusly, comfort. One boot feels fine, the other hurts my foot. This might just be expected with $300 boots but idk.. seems like a lot of money for that much tolerance.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review of our American Bison 6-inch boot.
While we're pleased that you appreciate the aesthetic and our commitment to material sourcing, we are truly disappointed to learn about the quality control issues you experienced, particularly the significant construction inconsistencies between the left and right boots. For a premium footwear piece at this price point, precise craftsmanship and symmetrical construction are absolutely essential.
Your documentation of the specific variations - from the stitch count differences to the quarter panel placement - provides invaluable insight that will help guide meaningful improvements to our quality control process. The impact these inconsistencies have on comfort and break-in is especially concerning, as proper fit and wear characteristics are fundamental to any boot's functionality.
We clearly missed the mark on delivering the level of quality craftsmanship you should expect from us. We will be reaching out to you personally to address these concerns further.

I waited 3 years before writing this review. I wear these boots 5 days per week and they have exceeded my expectations. They are comfortable to wear all day long and have held up better than any other boot/shoe I have owned. They have aged well and still look great after these many years. Looking forward to buying another pair when the time comes
