This is a great everyday casual work boot. The boot is straight-up leather through and through. For expectation management do not expect cushioning to be built into the boot for extra comfort. The leather is comfortable and is a feel I prefer when wearing a boot. I live in Colorado and prefer boots for the cold winter. These fit true to size when using the Origin boot sizing guide. I wear an 11.5 in shoes, but in these boots, I'm a 10.5. They fit snug with no wiggle room. They don't have too long of a break-in period, but they are pretty stiff right out of the box. I was only surprised by how thin the boot strings are. I feel like they will be compromised quickly because of how thin they are but that's just speculation. I prefer a more heavy-duty string since they are tightened up every use. Quick shipping since the order was placed over the black Friday sale period.

I really wanted to like these boots. I appreciate what Origin is doing and have been wearing nothing but their pants over the last year and have been very happy. There is a lot to like about this boot, looks great, Christy sole is very comfortable and leather seems very durable. But I feel it has a huge design flaw. Received the boots, (size 12D) looked great wore them around the house and they felt. Wore them on a walk with the dog and after a few minutes noticed some heel slippage. Not much maybe 1-2mm, but over time it results in the sock getting pulled down in the boot. Every 1/2 mile I have to loosed the ties, pull the sock up and retie the laces. Initial thought is must be the laces. Change laces, different socks, even looked at adding a Boa system. I added a heel cup thinking that might help, but still after some time walking in the boot sock starts getting pulled down in the shoe. So I thought OK, never had this before but these boots must just not work with my feet. I have 3 pair of boots, Origin, Thursday's and Allen Edmonds. and have not had this problem with Thursday or AE. I put the AE to walk the dog for an hour. Walking with the AE I notice there is also a tiny bit of heel slippage with them also, but is so small never noticed. So what's the difference. Origin the first picture, there is a piece of leather, white part on the back of the heel that has a lot of friction between the sock and the boot. So when I step and there is any bit of heel…

All around very pleased with these boots. Origin just won a lifetime customer & an advocate for their brand & products. To my surprise, they were comfortable from day 1, unlike some other boots I bought that took months to brake in. I like the look and weight and find them functionally versatile. True to size for me. They came with a few very minor imperfections, but I watched a video on how they’re made, and it makes me appreciate them all the more having seen the many American workers involved in crafting these by hand. This quality and American craftsmanship makes me proud to own, rep, and promote Origin products especially in a day and age with such low standards on product quality, life expectancy, and production environment standards. Thanks Origin Team! Keep up the good work.
