Hi Adam! Thanks for the honest feedback about THE 6 INCH ORIGIN® WORK BOOT ALPHA, and we're really sorry to hear about your experience.

The delamination issues you're describing after just a month or two, plus the internal stitching coming loose, are absolutely not what we expect from our boots. Your feedback about the tongue thickness causing pressure points is also valuable intel for our boot development. We want our safety toe boots to perform at the same level as the rest of our footwear line, and clearly we're not hitting that mark with the Alpha.

We're bummed that these didn't live up to the Origin standard you've come to expect from your other gear. Thanks for taking the time to share this detailed feedback, it helps us understand where we need to improve our boot construction and quality control.

Hi Zack,

Thanks for taking the time to share your detailed feedback on THE 6 INCH ORIGIN® WORK BOOT ALPHA! We're glad to hear the leather and overall comfort hit the mark for you once they were broken in, and that you liked them enough to seek repair rather than replacement.

We sincerely appreciate you bringing up the sole delamination issue, especially the specific details about how the manufacturing method affected your local cobbler's ability to resole them. Input like yours has helped us as we've moved forward towards a new construction to allow for our soles to be fully re-soleable.

Thank you for your honest feedback about both the leather quality and comfort that worked well, and the specific durability consideration around the sole attachment that affected your overall experience. This kind of detailed input about real-world performance helps us understand exactly how our construction methods are translating for long-term reliability!
