I purchased these shoes right when the Sept 25 released and they did not disappoint! The fit is great, I have a narrow foot and usually wear between 10.5-11 depending on brand. I got the 10.5 and it was a perfect fit! I have wore these shoes for about a month now with no issues at all. I even took them with me to South America and they performed great at 9,200 ft above sea level in the wet mountain areas. These shoes have been to the center of the earth at 0* Lat - 0* Long, representing American made products in both hemispheres. They did however trip the metal detector in TSA, so maybe not the best choice to fly in unless you want to remove your shoes.

That's an incredible adventure for the AMERICAN BISON BOAT SHOE! Taking them from sea level to 9,200 feet in South American mountains is quite the test, and we love hearing they performed flawlessly in those challenging conditions. The fact that they've literally been to both hemispheres representing American-made craftsmanship is pretty amazing.
We're glad the sizing worked out perfectly for your narrow foot. There's nothing better than finding that ideal fit right out of the gate.
Thanks for putting the AMERICAN BISON BOAT SHOE through such an epic real-world test and for the 5-star review!

lives up to the hype, after a few weeks they're nicely broken in, usually a 9 Wide in Origin boots but sized 9.5 in the boat shoes and it works well, slip on and snug enough for a nice fit.. Nice job Pete and gang

First and foremost love supporting American made and sourced company and love what origin is about and doing. The leather on these is absolutely beautiful and supple. Breaking in nicely. Did leave a little hotspot on the back of my heel where the top of the back of the shoe is. But I don’t think it will be a problem just have to break in sense it’s real leather. Went with an 11 based off of the Sizing chart print out, I’m normal a 10.5wide. 11 was good I think smaller would have been to tight width wise. I do have about a thumb size of space from my toe to the end. Personal I would have liked to see the toe box slightly wider and less narrow as these are. But man they are beautiful and great craftsman ship. Quality control needs a little work. Not sure if I got seconds on mistake but there is a few needle holes that weren’t aligned leaving a couple random holes. Despite that they do look great and you only notice upon close inspection.

A little over a day wearing these and they are everything. I hope they would be and more. I would say they’re not quite broken in yet, but they are becoming more comfortable. They look and feel great.
