"I designed this boot to outlast me. This isn’t a product. It’s a promise."

Pete Roberts, Founder

BUILT ON HALLOWED GROUND

The Statesman Chelsea Boot is crafted in Franklin County, Maine—once home to the largest shoemaking industry in America. Before outsourcing swept the country, this was where boots were born. The Statesman does not just revive that legacy. It builds on it.

    Origin knocked it out of the park with this one!

    I was initially hesitant about these boots since they’re a new style from Origin. However, my first impression is outstanding—exceptional quality, styling, and fit. There’s no heel slip, and the toe box is perfectly sized. Supporting a company like Origin, which manufactures in the USA, is a priority for many of us. These boots justify the premium price compared to overseas alternatives. Not only are you backing American craftsmanship, but you’re also getting a superior product. Well done, Origin!

    Stylish Boot

    Overall these are very comfortable and look really nice. They are fantastic for casual wear or going somewhere nice. After a bit of trial and error with not having owned a chelsea boot, I definitely recommend ordering the same size as you wear in a lace up Origin boot. The reason for only 4 stars is I I have both the black and brown pairs, however, I noticed my brown pair elastic is a lot looser around the ankle than my black pair. I purchased the brown a month earlier, so not much wear and I did not notice this right away. Hopefully I can find a boot place to restitch the elastic to be a bit tighter. It is hard to see, but I uploaded a side-by-side picture of the two.

    Break in required if not needed return

    Need to use a shoe helper to slip in and even that almost doesn'thelp, boots are in my size but too tight. Also the heels are too re-enforce making hard to slip on and when walking digs in the heels. If it wasn't all sale final I would return it but would now go third market.

    Hi Kurt,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about The Statesman Chelsea Boot - Oxford, and we sincerely apologize that the fit issues with the tightness and heel reinforcement have made them uncomfortable to wear despite being the correct size.

    Your specific feedback about the difficulty getting them on even with a shoe helper, combined with the heel reinforcement causing discomfort while walking, is valuable information that we'll share directly with our footwear design and construction teams to review our sizing specifications and heel construction methods to ensure we're delivering the comfort and wearability that customers should expect from premium American-made boots.

    Your insights about the break-in challenges help us understand where we need to improve our design to deliver boots that provide proper fit and comfort from day one without requiring extensive adjustment periods.

    Great for the office

    Comfortable at the office and the 1/2 mile to get there. Recommend cleaning and treating them though so they look great as the miles add up.
