    Just ok

    The leather looks and feels great. Stitching is spot on. If you don’t look close enough to see that the upper is crooked to the soles you would think you had a really good quality shoe. If you look more closely you will see that the shoes are like the jeans in the fact that the seams are never straight and the legs are never the same size. I have been buying Origin products since the beginning in hopes that the quality would eventually improve to match the price point. I’ve ordered jeans in pairs every time and have never gotten any that fit the same in the 10 pairs I’ve bought. This is the first pair of shoes I’ve bought, and more than likely the last. The quality just doesn’t match the price point. I have other American Made shoes and boots that are a little more expensive, but the quality of craftsmanship is a lot better.

    Worn these a couple of days now and love the look. Starting to break in well after a couple of wears. Can be dressy or casual. So glad these came back in stock! Nothing beats American Made!

    Comfertable and durability

    I used these my entire honeymoon. Walking throughout Boston, Salem, and Gloucester Massachusetts. Not only was the comfert top tier after averaging 15 miles a day. These shoes look like I just got them. 10 out of 10, I recommend.

    Regular width too narrow

    I normally wear 11.5 wide. I followed the advice for the boat shoe and ordered the 11.5 regular. When they arrived they looked and smelled great. Unfortunately the regular size is just too small for my feet, my toes were bunched together like vienna sausages.

    Hi Randall,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about the AMERICAN BISON BOAT SHOE, and we sincerely apologize that despite following our sizing guidance, the regular width was too narrow and caused uncomfortable bunching for your feet.

    Your specific feedback about the regular width being too small even when following our recommended sizing advice is valuable information that we'll share directly with our footwear design team to review our sizing guidance for customers who typically wear wide widths, and to consider expanding our width options to ensure we're providing proper fit recommendations so customers can order with confidence and receive boat shoes that accommodate their feet comfortably from the start.

    Your insights about the fit issues help us recognize where we need to improve our sizing options and guidance to better serve customers with wider feet who want to enjoy quality American-made boat shoes.
