    Size 10 D NOT!

    I have never had a shoe that fit so poorly. This shoe was so short and so tight I couldn’t even get my foot in it. Unfortunately for me I bought a “Graded” version that was supposedly just am imprint flaw and was “unreturnable”. I bought a set of shoe stretchers and spent three weeks stretching them in both length and width. I finally have them where I can get my feet in them but still uncomfortable. I hate leaving this review as I love the shoe. Well made and beautiful but this is in no way a 10D shoe.

    Hi William,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the AMERICAN BISON BOAT SHOE, and we sincerely apologize that the sizing was off from a standard 10D.

    Your feedback about the sizing running significantly smaller than expected, especially for a graded item where returns aren't possible, is valuable information that we'll share with our production and quality control teams to review our sizing standards and ensure our graded products still meet proper fit specifications before being offered to customers.

    We appreciate you taking the time to share your honest experience about the fit issues despite loving the craftsmanship and quality of the shoe itself, as we're always working to improve our sizing consistency to ensure customers receive properly fitting footwear that matches the size they order.

    Wearing them as I write this...

    I wear them every day in and around home. Like slippers, they slide on and off easily. Plus, with good traction soles for wearing them outside, the American Bison Boat Shoe has me a little nostalgic for this classic shoe. As I remember having a pair of boat shoes when growing up. Like Mr. Rogers, I take off my street shoes and put on these as soon as I'm home for the day. It just feels right. LOL!

    Eagles Screech From the Soles

    Wanted my feet to absorb all of the America they could before I wrote a review. You must prove you are worthy to own these shoes by wearing them at least a week or so to break yourself into them. Once you start hearing the Star Spangled banner play you'll know you have achieved success.

    In all honesty and seriousness though, phenomenal build quality. You get what you pay for and more with these. It will take a minute to break them in and I'd say it takes just a little more than your average shoe(non American) to do so. I actually used these as my office shoes for a bit, and they look real good wherever I wear them. I hope in time to convert my wardrobe over to as much all American made clothing as I can and I will do that through you guys(Origin).

    Thank you guys for what you do!

    Excellent Quality!!!

    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.

    Hey Chris,

    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!
