Honestly I LOVE the All America build & mindset, I want to love Origin boots...I just dont yet. The Wilton is an improvement in some regards, other areas let me down. The leather needs to be thicker- its a work boot. I love that its 360 leather welted with cork filler, the stitching is great & i really like the incresed volume. I love the Alpha sole and it is why I decided to buy. The leather is breaking in nicely but again seems too thin. I think the boot really needs to be leather lined- I hate synthetic linings, I think the little bit of foam under the synthetic lining does nothing for comfort, breaks down quickly & reveals the sharp edges of the steel toe cap- gets very anoying! The boot has the volume to accomodate a pigskin lining without changing the least, I think there should be a bit of veg tan patch at the insole for a bit of arch support- foam insoles are NOT support! I applaud the addition of fiberglass shank for stability the old boots lacked. Id suggest a composite toe cap rather than clunky steel. Id like a bit more fit in the heel, to get the width I want for toe splay & to not put pressure on bunions & achy arthritic toes the heel squirms. Lace tighter to point of fore foot pain to control it...Id like a better fit & more support around akles. I think an addition of a counter cover could give this support. I know there needs to be consessions to keep the boot out of the $400 bracket, but I DO think an improved Wilton with above suggestions could…
OUOrigin USA4 weeks agoHi Charlie,
Thanks for the incredibly detailed feedback about THE WILTON 6" STEEL TOE WORK BOOT - ALPHA and for recognizing the All America build philosophy that drives everything we do. We're thrilled that you love the Alpha sole, the 360 leather welted construction with cork filler, and the improved volume.
We sincerely appreciate you bringing up the specific concerns about the leather thickness, synthetic lining issues, and the steel toe edge exposure during break-in. Your point about the foam under the synthetic lining breaking down and revealing sharp edges gives us crucial insight into how these materials are performing in real 12+ hour shop environments.
Your comprehensive suggestions; from leather lining and thicker work boot leather to composite toe caps, improved heel/ankle fit, veg tan arch support patches, and waxed lace, provide exactly the kind of detailed feedback our development team needs as we continue refining the Wilton. Your observation about needing to choose between proper toe room and heel stability is particularly valuable for understanding the fit challenges.
This detailed feedback on the leather durability, lining materials, toe cap protection, and fit specifications will be immediately passed along to our design and development teams as we work to improve the performance and longevity of THE WILTON 6" STEEL TOE WORK BOOT - ALPHA.
Thank you for your valuable input that helps us build better boots and for being part of the Origin Family!

My review is going to be slightly different than most, as I'm not wearing these as traditional "work boots". While I will be wearing them for work, my specialty is IT. My new position just so happens to be in an industry requiring safety-toe shoes, as the company deals with machinery and manufacturing of large, heavy components. I'm coming from a pair of Thursday boots, so I was looking for something low-profile (bulky boots look goofy on my 6'4" 180lb build) yet still ASTM rated. Ideally, I was hoping to support an American company as well. These criteria narrowed down my options pretty quickly, but I'm so glad I went with Origin. These Wilton's are about as sleek as you can get with a steel toe, and I can tell right off the bat that they're made with very high quality materials. Not only that, but they're extremely comfortable out of the box. A full workday on concrete flooring without an ache in sight, and comfort only seems to improve over time with leather boots in my experience. The fact that they're constructed with a full Goodyear leather welt is a huge plus as well, as I can keep them going for as long as the leather holds up (in my estimation, a very long time). While they're not the cheapest, I'm willing to pay for quality, American-made products that will last for years to come. Excellent job, Origin - you've found yourself another loyal customer.
OUOrigin USA1 month agoHey Dalton,
We're ecstatic to hear that the WILTON 6" STEEL TOE WORK BOOT - ALPHA is hitting that perfect sweet spot for your IT work in a manufacturing environment! It's awesome that you found exactly what you were looking for - low-profile steel toe boots that don't look bulky on your build while still meeting those ASTM requirements. That sleek design combined with safety performance is exactly what we engineered into this piece.
We love hearing that the comfort was there right out of the box for those full days on concrete, and you're absolutely right that leather boots just get better with time. It's incredible to know that you can already tell the quality of materials we put into these boots, and that Goodyear welt construction means you'll be able to keep them going for years to come.
Your commitment to supporting American-made quality that lasts confirms the absolute success of our dedication to creating boots that work as hard as you do. Coming from Thursday boots and choosing Origin means everything to us - we're confident these Wiltons will exceed your expectations for years to come!
Thank you for choosing Origin and welcome to the family!

Very nice leather, boots are supportive and so far after 2 months of 50 hour weeks holding up very well. Only issue I had was a very strong chemical smell from the removable insert, I replaced it and smell is gone. I’m a union carpenter and these are definitely work boots
OUOrigin USA2 months agoHi Brian V.,
That's awesome to hear! We're so glad the boots are holding up to the demands of your work as a union carpenter and that you're happy with the leather and support.
We also appreciate you bringing the issue with the removable insert to our attention. That's incredibly valuable feedback, and we'll be sure to share it with our production team. Thanks for putting our gear to the test and for your great review!
