Size Guide

Reviews Summary
Customers say these boots are exceptionally comfortable straight out of the box with minimal break-in time needed. Many appreciate the high-quality leather construction and craftsmanship, noting they feel durable and well-made. The boots fit true to size, though some recommend sizing down a half size to prevent heel slipping. Users find them versatile for both work and casual wear, with excellent traction from the lug sole. Common praise includes the convenience of slip-on design and all-day comfort for long work shifts. Some mention initial difficulty getting them on, but this improves after a few days of wear. A few customers experienced issues with pull tabs breaking or elastic losing elasticity over time.

    Best boots I’ve ever owned.

    I bought these boots to support origin because I fell in love with their story. I work on a crude oil tanker all over the southern US. These boots are great out on the nonskid metal decks onboard the vessel. They’re surprisingly light for how durable they are which is very impressive. I’d recommend these boots to anyone that cares about quality of product as well as where that product is built.

    Replaced the Romeo!

    My daily goto used to be the Georgia Romeo, tossed those hen I received these. 11EE true to size with enough room for thick socks but still comfortable with summer sock.

    This boot is tough

    As a glassblower I subject my boots to some real harsh environments. I’m on my feet all day dropping molten glass, welding sparks, brick laying, fabricating, chemical mixing, these things take a beating and stand up better than any other boot I’ve ever had. I put them through real shit and I’m very happy with them. Highly recommend
