"If it fails, it’s on me. So it won’t."

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!

    I bought one pair, now I want to buy the rest

    I love Chelsea Boots. It's all I wear outside of the house, even to formal events. The only time I'm not wearing Chelsea Boots is when I wear sneakers to the dojo, or when I'm wearing a pair of 10-eye lace-up boots with my kilt. I own several pairs in different styles/colors, all made in the UK. That is, up until now. This is my very first pair that was made in America, and after spending a week wearing them to the office, the store, etc. I can honestly say it won't be my last. They fit great, the quality & craftsmanship is second to none.

    Looking forward to acquiring additional pairs of Origin Chelsea Boots, as well as whatever newer varieties that might become available.

    Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review, Michael! We are excited to hear that our Statesman Chelsea Boot has earned a place in your impressive collection—especially coming from someone who clearly knows their boots inside and out.

    It's incredibly meaningful to know that we've converted a dedicated UK boot enthusiast to his very first American-made pair. The fact that they're holding their own against your established favorites speaks volumes, and we couldn't be more fired up about that. We put tremendous pride into the quality and craftsmanship of every pair, so hearing that it's "second to none" is exactly what we aim for.

    We love that these boots are versatile enough to take you from the office to formal events and everywhere in between. There is something special about having that one go-to style that works for nearly every occasion, and Chelsea boots definitely deliver on that front.

    We're excited to help you build out your Origin boot collection and can't wait to see what you think of any new varieties we roll out. Thanks for being part of the Origin family!

    Great boots, awful customer service

    Exchanges shouldn’t take 8 weeks when swapping for a different size of the same style….Great product. Awful customer service process for exchanges/returns.

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for the detailed feedback about The Statesman Chelsea Boot and for sharing your experience with both the product quality and our exchange process! We're glad to hear that you think they're great boots and appreciate the product quality.

    We sincerely apologize for the 8-week exchange timeline you experienced when swapping for a different size. Your feedback about the extended processing time for what should be a straightforward size exchange gives us valuable insight into where our customer service process is falling short of the efficient experience our customers deserve.

    Thank you for your valuable input about the exchange timeline and process concerns, alongside your positive feedback about the boot quality. This helps us focus on streamlining our exchange procedures to ensure customers get the right size quickly without the frustration of extended wait times that detract from the great product experience you had with the boots themselves!

    You guys created great quality, perfect boots. I thought they are good for cold and rainy conditions. But today, I discovered they are even better in a hot desert condition. I used them today in California’ deep in the desert on hot send, and they did a great job of protecting my feet from high heat, and getting stuck in the send. My feet were cool all the time. Thank you. Also, this is the first time I didn’t get sent in my shoes in the desert because those boots did their job. God bless what your journey.

    That's incredible that THE STATESMAN CHELSEA BOOT exceeded your expectations in such an extreme environment, Mkhitar! It's great to hear from someone who really puts their gear through diverse conditions - from cold and rainy weather to the intense heat of the California desert.

    We put a lot of thought into the construction and materials of these boots so they could handle whatever conditions you encounter, but hearing that they kept your feet cool and protected in hot desert sand really speaks to the quality of the build. There's something satisfying about discovering that your gear performs even better than you expected in challenging environments.

    The fact that you didn't get any sand inside the boots shows that attention to detail in the design is really paying off. When you're out in conditions like that, the last thing you want to worry about is your footwear not doing its job.

    Thanks for putting these boots through such a thorough real-world test and for sharing how they performed!

    Amazingly comfortable. Feels like wearing insulated boots even with lightweight socks - soft but not hot. One insole is a little different than the other. Ive been able to wear these on 16 hour shifts and could easily wear them for 24. Nicest boots ive ever owned.
