One suggesting it seems almost all bookmakers today miss. Cherry wood arch supports. Metal, fiberglass etc don't mold to the users foot. I'm not sure why the went away but in the 70's and 80's the best books alk used cherry arch supports. When repairing them we always had to make sure to get them back in the right spot because the users could tell.
The fabric lining in my Wiltons is already splitting where it is stitched behind the ankle. It's so poorly done that it happened just from walking in them after one week of wear. Sorry but a boot that fails after only a week of extremely light use is not worth $300+ and it also cheapens the Made in the USA tag. Gotta do better than this.
I think Origin is going on the right direction and staying with their made in the USA business model. Nothing wrong with that. I’d like to see them start fully gusseting the tongues and maybe come out with a waterproof version and maybe even a wool lined winter boot. I’m sure they’ll continue to have success.
Can't believe you're almost at 1000000 subscribers. I found you in 2019 when I started leathercrafting and you were doing wallets and other stuff. Now you're probably the number 1 boot reviewer on TH-cam.
I think the main key update/progress is the origin has made the jump to make GYW boots. Now their employees can develop skills and experience in making that style of product. We need more experienced shoe makers in the U.S. All for supporting MITUSA products, though I don’t get foo caught up in the 100% sourced. There are honestly some materials that are not made well in the US, it’s ok not the end of the world to source somewhere as long as it’s responsibly sourced.
As soon as you opened the boots and I saw the cork, I was like ‘Yes! Awesome boot!” As soon as I can, I will be ponying up for a pair. Quality and MITUSA. Good review, as always. Great boot Origin.
Love this Rosa Anvil channel! I now own, 2 different Red Wing boots, 1 moc toe and 1 pair of the Blacksmtih. I own 2 Thursday as well and paor of Allen Edmond moc toe. And today I am purchasing a pair of the Origin moc toe in the black carbon! This information on this channel is awesome! Oh and I got me a Rose Anvil wallet! Lol Great job, keep it going!!!
I'm not much of a moc toe fan - but that's a damn good looking moc toe Origin has really done a fantastic job of actually making *legitimately* USA made boots, managing to maintain the quality vs price is really impressive
As some others have said, and still even others already know, made in USA doesn't make it better, and I'll concede that. My goal is to buy MITUSA most of the time to keep our money in our country when it makes sense and is possible.
Origin jeans are awesome. Durable and stretchy. Origin and roundhouse make great jeans at really good prices. I'm sticking to my franks and whites boots. Make an insulated, gortex logger and I'd consider origin boots. Keep up the good work origin and keep Maine free!
Origin moc toes are currently priced at $468 and the Coronados at $426. I'm happy to buy my Coronados back when they were offering difference bottoms for the boots, because while I value MITUSA tag, belts are tight at the moment.
Here again to ask for a Supersole 2.0 video. As one of Redwing’s flagship work boots, I want to know what you think about how it compares to similarly priced boots.
As a Minnesotan I love that Weston has done red wing videos but I really want him to go over some of their work boots now that he's already reviewed the heritage options.
I bought there newest fully good year welted boot and I have to say it’s the most comfortable boot I own. Bought my stepson a pair of there construction boots and he says it’s the most comfortable pair of shoes he has ever owned.
So I own two pair of Origin's work boots from 2023. They look awesome and use quality materials however they weren't great for actual work. Outsoles delaminated from the toe pretty quick and they just didn't have enough support for construction work. Interested in trying these out at some point but I also just bought a pair of Nick's trade boots soooooo
I'm not surprised they weren't too great for construction work, their other styles are definitely on the lighter side(which is fine, they just skew more towards comfort & flexibility over durability & support). Would definitely expect this new Goodyear welted boot to hold up better for that. You could maybe describe their previous boots as "shop/warehouse boots" while this one leans a little more "construction boot".
I kicked redwing to the curb for my thorogoods. They have lasted me so far as long as my longest pair of redwing. But I'm thinking I might pick these up for daily drivers around the shop.
The White’s Perry Select is a really nice boot and they often have 20 or 30% off sales for major holidays. Probably will for Black Friday too. Got a pair on sale for Father’s Day and really like them.
@@MrTimothyRodriguez yeah I had to remember how to break in all leather hiking boots back in the dawn of time. Wearing a thin slippery liner sock inside a heavier sock helped keep the heel friction down. But still the leather heel counter just sounds like it makes a boot harder to break in to me.
Im a fan of Origin's mission. Would pay $400 for a boot with better internal components. Leather counter, leather lined, leather shank etc. The White's are the much better boot for $50 more.
thanks to this awesome channel I have found some really good boots, anytime im considering boots/shoes I come here to see if they are good again thanks for saving me money on good footwear. Keep up the good work.
They look pretty good, however I don't see much of an advantage to the Origin over Thorogoods. I have a pair of Thorogoods and they have been rock solid. Been wearing them regularly for over a year and they are holding up wonderfully. They were certainly money well spent for me. If I were going to get another pair of moc toe boots, I'd probably go with Red Wing. From my perspective those are made with better materials, close to the White's, but are priced similarly to the Origins.
Origin holds it's niche by being 100% mitusa but in my opinion they don't excel at much else. Their boots are lighter and easier to wear but not necessarily better quality. I don't mean that in a bad way. At the end of the day footwear is either going to be comfy or durable and you have to balance that. I think red wing is a mitusa example of durability over comfort and origin is the opposite
I've got one pair of Origin boots and love them. All for 100% made in the USA at a fair price. Never been into the moc toe but I dig the gyw and hope to see it on other boots from them.
Origin effing did it! They may cost more but this is why I love Origin products. They’re quality, they last, they are comfortable. From a Gi or a rash guard to their shirts, pants, and boots. They’ve got a good recipe going. I’m simping hard for them but I’m being genuine with my opinion. If I had the money, I’d ditch most of my clothes to just have theirs but that’s not realistic.
Just got a pair of these graded quality ($197)… first boots I’ve ever owned. I have nothing to compare it to. They are comfortable but only like a few days old.
I’ve been rocking their workboots for a year now and I can admit they’re the real deal. The comfiest boots I’ve ever owned and the leather is super tough. My only gripe with how they make these things was the blake stitch. The outsole on mine are separating from the mid just enough to look trashy and let water in. Shoeglue fixed that, but nothing is as good as a 360 goodyear stitched boot.
Outsole separating from midsole has nothing to do with it being blake stitched; and indeed could happen in exactly the same way on this new goodyear welted model, because both styles have the outsoled glued on, rather than stitched.
@@mynamedoesntmatter9013 It is the precise nature of the adhesives used to adhere the outsole to the midsole. Some glues are better than others, but nothing is guaranteed for all conditions. In other words it's just bad luck of the draw unfortunately.
Anytime I’m curious about a boot I come here. I’d like to see the Carolina 28 series cut. Im usually all thorogood for my trade bc I don’t like something too heavy like nicks or jks. I’m a lineman apprentice and I bought them in a rush for climbing school and I’m going on 2.5 years now still lacing em up. They’ve been up probably 300 poles and walked many mountains and seen 6 states. I’m blown away by them. Ik this is an origin video and they’re a work of art too
Thank you for this one! Gotta resole my 875’s and have been wanting to get another pair of boots as a back up. Can’t wait to watch this to see if origin is an option or if I should buy another pair of 875’s.
I am diligently working on breaking mine in, taking breaks when my feet are killing me. The main issue I'm having is the seam of the lining right down the back of the heel. Got a nickel sized blister the first day wearing them. Got some thicker socks. Seams like they coulda put seams (pun intended) on the sides instead of straight down the back. I've thought about ripping out the lining.
Id say that all MITUSA except the midsole was close enough to get the better overall product. The whole problem with prioritizing made in the usa is that if there just isnt the market in the usa making a component, its the materials manufacturers fault, not he product makers. Id rather see the imported midsole version moc toe than the lesser overall quality all MITUSA.
Love the channel and Mocktober series! I just bought a pair of redwings traction tred lite would love to see a cut in half video on that. Not their heritage series but like to see if quality on par with some MiUSA type boots.
Great info! Helped my husband a ton when picking a work boot. Any way you could do a video that focuses on boots with varying widths (up to 4e), it would be incredibly helpful! Thanks again :)
Origin shoild stick to the blake stitch light duty boots. Union guys who can spend $300+ on a pair of boots have $500+ to buy the best boots for their job. Non union guys will beat the bushes to find Thorogoods on sale for $180-200. A lot of workers like boots and they do a lot of things besides work. Instead of Thursday boots they pony up a little more for USA made boots for Thanksgiving/PTA meetings/ whatever day to day activities. Thursdays are absolute bangers used though.
Let's see...I have a pair of the Origin Maine Coronado and really like 'em - very comfortable and great for casual light-work wear (even received a few compliments because they're definitely "work boots" but have more of a style thing going that work boot appreciate. The downside is I would never wear these for serious heavy-duty work like I would my Thorogood American Heritage Moc Toe for the reasons you pointed-out: they're not a durable Goodyear welt and, while comfortable, would fall to pieces and probably couldn't be repaired. Sad, but true! This new design of their Moc Toe is really nice...looks quite similar to my Thorogoods, but I like the style/stitching even better IMO. I would like a pair of these...sadly, they're just not competitively priced with the Thorogood American Heritage. I know they retail for $280, but I often see them selling in the $260 range. For me, I'm retired military and GovX sells these for $175.99...plus, I usually have a $10 credit (buyers bonus bucks...or whatever) sitting in my account, which knocks another 10 off the price. Even with the discount ($296)...well, that's far more than $166 I'm paying for the American Heritage...for a very similar boot. Still, I'm glad to see OM using the more durable Goodyear welt construction. Enjoyed.
I would be curious to know how much less the Origins hold up than the Whites and how much more it holds up over the Thoroughgood. Also I think the price is absolutely spot on given all the materials sourced and MITUSA. I like the upgrades that the Whites has, but I would rather save that $50 and support USA, if it doesnt make that much of a difference in performance. Maybe Orign can do those upgrades in the future with this boot even if it raises it to the same price as the Whites or cheaper and it would be a great comparison. I'm all about bringing back manufacturing to the US and I love Origin products!
Great video as usual. This is awesome. I LOVE my Thorogoods, but these will be my next boot. Gotta support any company that goes the extra mile to build a high quality, high pp% MITUSA product.
Very nice boot. I dont think they make a taller boot like the Whites and Thorogoods. I like a taller boot for the support it offers. I can tell you I still go with the Thorogoods and I’ll tell you why. Most trades destroy their boots. Resoling isnt an option unless you want to do it every 4 to 6 months which is ridiculous. I choose the cheaper boot that breaks in quickly and hold up for at least a year. Most people aren’t electricians or loggers and they are the only ones that can really utilize a boot that can be re soled. If the upper and sole And especially the toe wear out at the same rate you just gotta buy a new boot.
All of this means nothing unless they make a size 15W. My problem has always been finding my size. I contend 15’s and larger would sell. There are a lot of guys in my predicament. We are happy to pay the price, whatever it is, to find a good boot our size.
I’m a very big fan of your channel. It got me educated about the shoes. Can you please review Liverpool Chelsea boots from Allen Edmonds? Also I want to now about the shoe care for suede boots.
The one problem I had with these is where they stitch the lining together behind the ankle. The seam started splitting right above the internal counter cover because it just seems to be very weakly done. Because that's the same spot where you cut the boot in half I guess it's difficult to highlight that in this type of review. The rest of the boot seems to be pretty well done except for this one weak spot where I think they can do a better job. The seam in my boots started to split after only about a week of pretty light wear. I will also point out that they reached out to me after I posted a critical review on their website that mentioned this exact problem. The review has not been published even though they obviously have seen it so be wary of the fact that they are more than likely filtering out negative reviews. As much as I want to love what this company is doing, it's practices like this that really make you want to look elsewhere.
I just missed the coupon code :( I worked in American manufacturing for 11 years. I own my own home and a tiny part of the American dream due to good paying manufacturing jobs. I will buy a pair of these boots.
I love the Made in USA dedication but these last two have disqualifies for me. I will not own another fabric lined boot so the beautiful lines of this mom toe is a no go for me. I'll stick with the Whites Perry and step up to the select if I want a little more. I was ver excited about the Hybrid boot with the canvas shaft because it might be a nice light breathable boot for my desert habitat. Unfortunately they lined that shaft with padding so it's warmer looking than a straight leather shafted boot. I am happy with some things they've done like increasing toe room and the shank not being part of the outsole.
*Wow these Origin boots seem pretty decent! I know there's many people out there who love Red Wing boots. So here's some info I gathered about them.* *Some models of shoes manufactured by Red Wing Shoes are not made in the United States, including most models of shoes manufactured under the Irish Setter Boots, Vasque, Carhartt, and Worx brands. These shoes are made in Vietnam and Cambodia.* *However, Red Wing Shoes does use leather from its own tannery, S.B. Foot Tanning Company, which is located in Red Wing, Minnesota. Red Wing Shoes also combines advanced technology with handmade craftsmanship.*
Great video. It’s extremely sad we are supposed to be the leaders of the world yet we couldn’t even make a boot 100% in the USA until now. Great work origin is doing. I’ll probably try to buy a pair of jeans from them
Who says we couldn't actually make a boot 100% in the USA till now? It may have been awhile since we had if there aren't in fact any others besides the origins, but we certainly have before. The only component they couldn't find a domestic option for is the leather midsole, and there are some boots that don't even have a midsole which may then be 100% American made. Do we know where Russell gets their thread and hardware? What about Gokey ? I have a pair of boots from footwear by footskins, just a moccasin upper made from American tanned leather and an outsole blake stitched on. If the outsole is domestically made, that only leaves the thread and eyelets. Clearly if there's any percentage of imported components it's not enough to require a qualified statement ( ie with global materials...etc ) and they just might be 100% American made for all I know.
Hi, I really appreciate what you do, thank you for all your efforts. I have a question. I think the craziest Nike air max bubble shoe could be the airmax 720 which was released in early 2019 I think. Would love to see you crack through it. Keep up the good work.
Are there any legacy brands that used to make their boots entirely in the USA? If you got a hold of one of those old boots I'd love to see a comparison with this
I don’t work construction anymore, but I still love wearing boots, but I don’t like the huge toe they remind me of the redwings they are good for work, but not for going out. Thursday mix toe are the best going out boots.
A move to all made in the USA, I feel, harms the industry more than helps. The marketing slogan was more important than supply chain efficiencies and stability.
Thanks for checking out the new boots, brother!
One suggesting it seems almost all bookmakers today miss. Cherry wood arch supports. Metal, fiberglass etc don't mold to the users foot.

I think Origin is going on the right direction and staying with their made in the USA business model. Nothing wrong with that. I’d like to see them start fully gusseting the tongues and maybe come out with a waterproof version and maybe even a wool lined winter boot. I’m sure they’ll continue to have success.

Great review! I heard about this boot a few weeks ago and am pleased to see Origin’s take on a moc toe.
Almost to 1 million subscribers!
A fabric lining in a leather boot is anathema if you ask me.
I know I won't buy 99% of the boots you make videos on, but it won't stop me from watching all of these videos.

Just depends on what you want, all 3 are making different compromises

They are the same or less than other heritage moc toes. I’ll be buying a pair. I have a pair of the bison coranados and they are excellent.
Will probably go origin for next boots since they have some nice safety versions needed for work.

Watching this as Ive not put on boots in years. Flip flops for me 😃😄
I just bought another pair of Thursdays, but, I may get some Origins in the future.
I do believe that there is a boot company in Scappoose, Oregon that claims the same but they make the boots to ones personal feet measurements.
Nice review 👌
I already have excess moc-toe wedge boots, so maybe next year I'll check these out vs. Thoro or whatever.

For me, I'm retired military and GovX sells these for $175.99...plus, I usually have a $10 credit (buyers bonus bucks...or whatever) sitting in my account, which knocks another 10 off the price. Even with the discount ($296)...well, that's far more than $166 I'm paying for the American Heritage...for a very similar boot. Still, I'm glad to see OM using the more durable Goodyear welt construction. Enjoyed.
Seems like a really nice boot.
I would be curious to know how much less the Origins hold up than the Whites and how much more it holds up over the Thoroughgood. Also I think the price is absolutely spot on given all the materials sourced and MITUSA. I like the upgrades that the Whites has, but I would rather save that $50 and support USA, if it doesnt make that much of a difference in performance. Maybe Orign can do those upgrades in the future with this boot even if it raises it to the same price as the Whites or cheaper and it would be a great comparison. I'm all about bringing back manufacturing to the US and I love Origin products!
@Rose Anvil Please make a leather rifle sling!!!
I had the same thought
Great video as usual. This is awesome. I LOVE my Thorogoods, but these will be my next boot. Gotta support any company that goes the extra mile to build a high quality, high pp% MITUSA product.
Very nice boot. I dont think they make a taller boot like the Whites and Thorogoods. I like a taller boot for the support it offers. I can tell you I still go with the Thorogoods and I’ll tell you why. Most trades destroy their boots. Resoling isnt an option unless you want to do it every 4 to 6 months which is ridiculous. I choose the cheaper boot that breaks in quickly and hold up for at least a year. Most people aren’t electricians or loggers and they are the only ones that can really utilize a boot that can be re soled. If the upper and sole And especially the toe wear out at the same rate you just gotta buy a new boot.
I’d bet Rancourt and Quoddy make boots with 100% USA components. And have for years.
I love Rancourt and own two boots and a pair of shoes from them.
All of this means nothing unless they make a size 15W. My problem has always been finding my size. I contend 15’s and larger would sell. There are a lot of guys in my predicament. We are happy to pay the price, whatever it is, to find a good boot our size.
I’m a very big fan of your channel. It got me educated about the shoes. Can you please review Liverpool Chelsea boots from Allen Edmonds? Also I want to now about the shoe care for suede boots.
Been buying Red Wings. $340.00 lined because of my damaged foot. I would pay the extra for a well made American boot.
The one problem I had with these is where they stitch the lining together behind the ankle. The seam started splitting right above the internal counter cover because it just seems to be very weakly done. Because that's the same spot where you cut the boot in half I guess it's difficult to highlight that in this type of review. The rest of the boot seems to be pretty well done except for this one weak spot where I think they can do a better job. The seam in my boots started to split after only about a week of pretty light wear. I will also point out that they reached out to me after I posted a critical review on their website that mentioned this exact problem. The review has not been published even though they obviously have seen it so be wary of the fact that they are more than likely filtering out negative reviews. As much as I want to love what this company is doing, it's practices like this that really make you want to look elsewhere.
Done that with another made in the USA brand… negative reviews not accepted.
Do the American made brunt boot now and see how they compare to the old ones
Thoughts on these vs Perry selects? Comfort for standing/walking all day is the first priority, durability is a close second
Do Cuero The Darren Moc Toe next please 🥺
I love mine!
Did I miss the durometer test or is it not in the video?
FYI Origin has an online "outlet factory store" that sells their blemished boots at discount
I just missed the coupon code :(
I worked in American manufacturing for 11 years. I own my own home and a tiny part of the American dream due to good paying manufacturing jobs. I will buy a pair of these boots.
Well done!
I love the Made in USA dedication but these last two have disqualifies for me. I will not own another fabric lined boot so the beautiful lines of this mom toe is a no go for me. I'll stick with the Whites Perry and step up to the select if I want a little more.
I was ver excited about the Hybrid boot with the canvas shaft because it might be a nice light breathable boot for my desert habitat. Unfortunately they lined that shaft with padding so it's warmer looking than a straight leather shafted boot.
I am happy with some things they've done like increasing toe room and the shank not being part of the outsole.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got em!
YES FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish they made them bigger. I'd probably buy a pair.
lets see long term use....how durable they are
Where do these rank on the Moctober list?
Random request for you to do the red wing loggermax series please.
Origin on top
I’m Wearing their jeans and hoodie right now.
Everytime he cuts the boot towards himself I get mad anxious hahaha
*Wow these Origin boots seem pretty decent! I know there's many people out there who love Red Wing boots. So here's some info I gathered about them.*
*Some models of shoes manufactured by Red Wing Shoes are not made in the United States, including most models of shoes manufactured under the Irish Setter Boots, Vasque, Carhartt, and Worx brands. These shoes are made in Vietnam and Cambodia.*
*However, Red Wing Shoes does use leather from its own tannery, S.B. Foot Tanning Company, which is located in Red Wing, Minnesota. Red Wing Shoes also combines advanced technology with handmade craftsmanship.*
Great video. It’s extremely sad we are supposed to be the leaders of the world yet we couldn’t even make a boot 100% in the USA until now.
Great work origin is doing. I’ll probably try to buy a pair of jeans from them
Who says we couldn't actually make a boot 100% in the USA till now?
It may have been awhile since we had if there aren't in fact any others besides the origins, but we certainly have before.
The only component they couldn't find a domestic option for is the leather midsole, and there are some boots that don't even have a midsole which may then be 100% American made.
Do we know where Russell gets their thread and hardware?
What about Gokey ?
I have a pair of boots from footwear by footskins, just a moccasin upper made from American tanned leather and an outsole blake stitched on.
If the outsole is domestically made, that only leaves the thread and eyelets.
Clearly if there's any percentage of imported components it's not enough to require a qualified statement ( ie with global materials...etc ) and they just might be 100% American made for all I know.
The jeans are awesome, great fit
They need these with a composite or steel toe imo. You can’t really call them “work” boots without that.
Any reviews on rocky boots?
Where is the cork sourced from?
I thought that cork only came from the Mediterranean region. I have never heard of cork cultivation in the USA.
Cork trees are in USA..I just believe they are not the type for wine enclosures
Is the moc toe top a 'folded leather with stitching', or real two pieces leather stich together?
Hi, I really appreciate what you do, thank you for all your efforts. I have a question. I think the craziest Nike air max bubble shoe could be the airmax 720 which was released in early 2019 I think. Would love to see you crack through it. Keep up the good work.
But if you compare to standard whites perry price and value ?
Would you take a look at the guide gear mock boot 🥾.
I'll buy some when they expand to 8 inch options :)
They already do
@@Artemis-v8inot for the moc-toe featured in the video
Are there any legacy brands that used to make their boots entirely in the USA? If you got a hold of one of those old boots I'd love to see a comparison with this
I'd like it to be unlined, but its still a cool boot.
I don’t work construction anymore, but I still love wearing boots, but I don’t like the huge toe they remind me of the redwings they are good for work, but not for going out. Thursday mix toe are the best going out boots.
I hope the announcements are for the Japanese army boots.. it's been so long and many projects unrelated to it
A move to all made in the USA, I feel, harms the industry more than helps. The marketing slogan was more important than supply chain efficiencies and stability.
I may get some and I also live in ME
Been watching you guys for months! What are your thoughts on Taft moc toe boots?
