My boots are The Origin Work Boot- 8", Big Lug w/Safety Toe, 11W. I'm 66, a structural welder working on the E. Central Florida coast. I'm on my feet, on concrete or asphalt, all day.
It's a little tough giving these boots an unbiased review because the boots they replaced were so bad. I'm pretty sure that while the previous boot claimed to be 112E, they were built on the same last as the toe shoe for a 12-year-old ballerina. It can happen with steel toes. The Origin boots feel amazing. I can stand on the ball of 1 foot and splay my toes out and touch nothing but the inside of my sock.
The boots looked great out of the box. I wore them to work one day in their original condition, then over the weekend I applied Tuff Toe and Obenauf's HD. The boots are a lot darker now but protected. Darker blends in better with my job.
The sole feels firm but not harsh. Should wear well. It looks and feels like a well-made boot, wearing them as well holding them. I expect these to be the last pair of work boots I ever buy.

I have purchased my son two pairs of boots from Origin. He has loved both, the last pair were his fire boots for wild-lands fire fighting. Came to order him two new pairs for his birthday but now I’m nervous seeing so many bad reviews and reading returns are not accepted if sizing is off. I think I will hold off on ordering more at this time. I’ve been lucky with sizing but $300 is too much to throw away. Sounds like quality might be dropping off. That is unfortunate because my son loves everything Origin.

This company is a joke. I bought these boots, waited over a month for delivery, and they were falling apart after THREE WEEKS of use. I don’t care how good they look—these boots are clearly made from subpar materials, and it’s evident in the way they’ve split at the toe. No product should fall apart that quickly unless it was made by amateurs.
But the worst part? The customer service. When I reached out to them about the defect, all I got was “too bad.” That’s it. No apology, no offer to make it right—just a pathetic 15% off coupon. After I spent hundreds of dollars on their defective product, they want me to order another pair? That’s their solution? I’m not throwing more money at a company that can’t even stand by their own product.
They clearly have no respect for their customers or their own products. Stay far, far away from this company if you don’t want to throw your money down the drain.
