I bought these on release day, and I couldn't be happier. I wore them for about a month straight, and they broke in to the point where they feel like old sneakers (in a good way). In fact, in my rush to get them in time for our vacation in July, I probably ordered a half size too small. And yet, they broke in naturally to the point where they fit great.
I usually agree 100% with Pete's sizing assessment (as we are about the same size), but in this case, I would say that if you have a wider foot, do consider going a half size up. They do break in and stretch width-wise, but that does come at the expense of a very small amount of length. I am usually somewhere in between a 10 and 11, and my foot is on the border of D and EE. I have purchased Bison boots, in 11 EE, and they are a little too big. I purchased the same boots in 10.5 EE and even they are a little bit big. So I tried these in a 10 D, and they broke in to a near perfect fit. So my ideal Origin size is likely 10 EE or 10.5 D. Just some data to keep in mind.
TLDR...Great shoe, breaks in wonderfully, you may need to order a half size bigger than you would for EE, or true to size if you're a D.

These things are freaking legit. I’m still breaking them in but I am blown away. I’ve had a few LL bean pairs over the years that I was happy with but now that origin has started making these bad boys I won’t go back.

I LOVE these boat shoes!! All leather with a fantastic Vibram Sole! Nice to have boat shoes with a tread for traction. I also love that the insole is all leather and sewn in, not cheap foam that is glued in and comes out the first time it gets wet and then stinks. Yes, these shoes are expensive, but you won’t find a boat shoe made with this quality!! Also love that it is made in the USA!! 🇺🇸
