Hi Johnny,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about THE WILTON 8" STEEL TOE WORK BOOT - BIG LUG, and we sincerely apologize that the lined construction has fallen short of your preferences and durability expectations.

Your specific feedback about the lining tearing during wear, ultimately making the boots unusable, along with your preference for unlined construction, is valuable information that we'll share directly with our production and design teams to review our boot construction options and consider developing unlined alternatives to better serve customers who prefer that style of work boot.

Your feedback helps us identify where our current construction approach hasn't met the design preferences that hardworking customers like yourself need from Origin.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the detailed feedback about both THE WILTON 8" STEEL TOE WORK BOOT - BIG LUG and your original Origin work boots, and for sharing your long-term experience with the construction and performance! We're glad to hear that your 8" big lug Originals from 2 years ago are still going strong and that you appreciated the thicker leather, extra reinforcement layers, and side armor at the arch for working in brush and uneven ground.

We sincerely appreciate you bringing up the construction differences you've noticed between your original pair and the Wilton, particularly the removal of the side arch reinforcement and the extra leather layers along the eyelets. Your feedback about the foam liner preventing access for interior oiling and the changes to the reinforcement features gives us valuable insight into how our design evolution is affecting the functionality that made your first pair so reliable.

Thank you for your valuable input about the construction changes, liner accessibility, and durability comparison, alongside your positive feedback about the improved tongue length, roomier toe box, and the lasting performance of your original pair. This helps us focus on evaluating how our design updates are impacting the reinforcement features and maintenance accessibility that contributed to the exceptional longevity you experienced with your first pair!
