    Bison Boat Shoe

    I love these shoes. From the first time I slipped them on it was a great fit. They started out a little snug, but as you said they loosened up very quickly. There was no real break in time. I wore them for a couple of hours the first time and then didn' give a second thought about wearing them for a longer time. Keep up the good work Origin..................

    ME Hand Sewn Awesomeness

    Quick and to the point. Super high value for a Made in ME hand sewn. Even the insole is matching Bison which is top notch. Video gets into the OEM source so I won't cover that but this is well worth it. Great looks and on the "Dressier" side for a moccasin with the deep red/brown Bison. Sizing is true to BRANNOCK US in my experience. I am a US11.5D/E (right on the edge). AE Park Ave 11.5E, Rancourt 11E loafer, Thursday 11.5D Captain etc. The sizing chart they give is accurate. Width is correct. When put on they are snug on the width (as expected with new and my D+ width). This is perfect as the leather will conform to my foot. I go barefoot. As with other quality loafers (Rancourt, OSB etc) you want them SNUG to start so the leather can stretch. Highly Recommended.

    Great Quality Shoe but...

    Outstanding quality and great looking shoe! As much as I want to give this five stars, I should have listened to other folks reviews on here and upsized due to not having a wide option available even though it states true to size. I am a size 12 and although it fits in length fine, it is extremely tight on the sides. I am trying to give them some time to stretch and break in but this is my third day wearing them and my feet are really fatigued. I would ask Origin to reconsider this option for future production.

    Superb Quality- Need a Wide Option

    The shoes were amazing and look great. But my toes were compressed and I could tell that the natural stretch of the leather would not adequately compensate. Please make a wide option!
