The Statesman Chelsea Boot blends timeless style with unapologetic durability. Crafted in Maine by master craftsmen using heritage techniques and modern precision.

"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!

    5 out of 5 stars. Yes expensive, but worth it.

    Just got these Statesman Chelsea boots in size 11 wide and I’m really happy with them. Got the Amber color and they look great. Here’s what I like about them:

    1) Everything is made in America with American materials. That was important to me and you can tell the quality is there.

    2) Super comfortable right away. I didn’t have to break them in at all which was a nice surprise. Just put them on and wore them all day.

    3) The leather is really soft and has a nice even color. Feels like it will hold up well over time.

    Love the style. They look good with jeans or dressier pants. The elastic panels on the sides make them easy to get on and off which is way more convenient than I expected.

    4) These are built with Goodyear welt construction so they should last for years and I can get them resoled if needed down the road, so these are an investment rather than a disposable pair of boots.

    5) Sizing is true to what I normally wear. I ordered my regular size 11 wide without any adjustments and they fit perfectly right out of the box.

    Really solid boots. Worth the price and glad I bought them. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for quality American-made footwear.

    It's awesome that The Statesman Chelsea Boot is delivering that exceptional quality and comfort you're experiencing, JT! And how these boots fit perfectly right out of the box and require no break-in period at all.

    Your appreciation for American-made craftsmanship with American materials really resonates with us. We take tremendous pride in that Goodyear welt construction and superior leather quality, and it sounds like you're experiencing exactly that premium durability and style we designed these Chelsea boots to deliver. The fact that you can feel the investment-quality construction that will serve you for years to come is exactly what makes The Statesman Chelsea Boot special.

    That versatility you're enjoying, looking great with both jeans and dressier pants, combined with the convenience of those elastic side panels, is precisely the sophisticated functionality we crafted into these boots.

    Thank you for choosing Origin and for sharing your detailed experience with The Statesman Chelsea Boot!

    Lost me as A customer

    I will return these boots. The process of returning an unopened and unused pair of boots is insane. Treating customers as thieves.

    Not only I’m returning the boots bought by mistake, I’m returning the next pair I bought which was the correct size.

    Done with your company.

    Fantastic Boots

    These boots are phenomenal and look great in a business casual attire. Origin as always has made a great product. I would only caution they seem to ran a tad small. I own size 11 in all my other boots and so I bought a size 11. I should have gone maybe a half size to a full size up. We will see depending on how much these boots break in and stretch out. I look forward to purchasing the black ones next.

    Nice quality, looks great, and surprisingly light! These are the real deal!

    Excellent fit and quality. I was expecting a heavy solid leather boot like their other ones however these were surprisingly light! They look really good with jeans and a nice shirt or jacket. I wear size 10W shoe and 10W in these fit perfect. Oh yeah, and the most important part, they are real top grain leather so if you scuff them, you can polish out the scuff marks and the more you wear real leather boots the better they get.
