Cousin has a 360 dollar pair he bought last year with the screwed soles. He only wears them on dry days,doesn't abuse them. His soles are now coming off. He contacted origin and they told him they only have a 30 day warranty so he is out of luck. So much for that "we stand behind our products 100%" they got all over their website. Hoping he can get ahold of someone else at origin through email that'll make it right.
Shocked they came back a 3rd time, but its admirable they're improving still and listening. I might pickup a pair at this point for casual wear, curious to see how it does as you put them through the paces. Thanks for sharing an update.
Because of your videos and because I really REALLY want to love Origin, I bought a pair of their Built boots. They took 3 weeks to break in but I fought through and we made it. Unfortunately, I noticed today the vibram soles are separated from the leather. These are not nailed like your new ones are though and I've contacted Origin tonight with pictures, letting them know what happened. I believe in this company and I want them to succeed so as long as they're taking our feedback and improving the product, I'll keep supporting them 🇺🇸
I just bought the exact same boots. I’m loving them so far. You’re definitely right they do take a while to break in. But for how I use my boots, I know they’ll last me forever.
Honestly I think a boot that lasts 2 years is fantastic. Especially with what you guys put them through. If these last 18 solid months I would be impressed. I see they have Vibram soles so that will be interesting.
At this price point, I would be okay with two years. The boots I bought at Red Wing are barely even comfortable after two years. I commend origin for fucking around and finding out, and might even try a pair of their built boots.
You know woodwork, glue+mechanical fastener= a very secure connection. I think that's what they are going for with Gen3 here. We all will be waiting for the next update.
Curious how they’ve held up? I think the screws in the soles should’ve bought some more time. If you can get about a year of daily wear out of boots before needing resole that ain’t too bad.
Glad to see they sent you another pair. I watched and commented on your other videos regarding this boot lineup. I’d like to see how they hold up to work.
considering origin is a company that basically only made jiu jitsu gear just a couple of years ago id say its still impressive theyve managed to start making boots and so many other things entirely in the US and from mostly all US materials at all, let a lone good quality stuff (even if these line of boots cant hold up to a tough job quite as well as wed like to see). i will never put any boots or footwear through anything as rough as in these videos so good to see others who are doing just that. and hopefully the company is paying attention still and taking feedback to improve the products. i only have jeans from them so far and theyre the best jeans ive ever owned. im a light user though as i work at a computer in gym shorts 90% of the time. but when i need pants my origin jeans are the clear winners every time and im replacing my other jeans with more from origin. will try their boots out eventually but still have several other pairs of boots that dont get worn enough already. the whole work from home thing killed most of my needs for replacing clothing other than cheap gym shorts.
I think overall original boots are to casual boots and not working boots overall… having said that your review videos makes origins make better boots … so good job for honest review
I had a tough year breaking mine in, mostly due to sizing. Because they do not offer 1/2 sizes over 12, I went with 13 which is too long…fooled around with insoles for a bit. Have found the right combo for comfort. Why no 1/2 sizes?!!!
Howdy! Thorogoods have been my go-to for a decade. Been researching recently to see about switching up. Any conclusions on the origins yet or video still in work?
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC Thanks so much. I see from this video they put screws in the toes, did they by chance add any sort of shank to the sole, whether steel or synthetic or leather? Thanks again.
I think they look really good but not sure they are a work boot tho more casual I’d say, however great to see them trying to improve there boots all the time and listening to your feed back.
Definitely props to Origin. They are a good company. We recently designed and launched a woodworking tool, which is way simpler than a boot. I can even imagine what it takes to make a good, durable, and comfortable boot while trying to stick to American materials. On top of that, making it affordable. Our product is just metal cut and folded ti make a simple rack for clamps, and it still took 5 designs to reach the final. A little more money into real world use testing and Origin could of saved a load of money on returns and replacements.
They didn’t send me their built boot. They had the option to replace the bison boots I ordered. When I made the first purchase, their “built boot” wasn’t being sold yet. After the second pair failed, the built boot was on the market and they decided to send me the bison boot again
They can just cut a groove on the outsole and stitch both the midsole and the outsole together. For ~400USD shoes, they should do better than just nailing the toe part.
Smooth concrete, at minimum 1 year. You said you wear other boots USA made that are cheaper and more comfortable. On that note, in order to claim made in USA they only need to be soled in here to meet that regulation. The rest of the process can be anywhere outside the US. Also some of Origin boots have Cristy soles. Cristy soles don't last 2 weeks on rough concrete. If they used a good sole then we'd see more guys in commercial construction trying them
You think you might be better off with the christy sole version for your work environment? that mini lug sole strikes me more as the "fashion" sole. or are you only focusing on how the upper holds up.
As shallow as those mini lugs are, they might as well be a thin wedge sole. I don't like the mini lug for work, only casual and they look especially thin on these boots. I'm about to order these in the black wedge sole, I think that's a better match for being on concrete.
I feel like you're not comparing apples to apples. Bison leather, and those boots especially are casual boots. Origin makes a specific work boot. Why not test that one?
Before they made that work boot your talking about, they only had these. That’s when i originally bought them. Also they are advertised as work boots right on the box: “Built to work” They could have sent me a pair of the work boots to replace these, but they didn’t 🤷
I think a good pair of boots should last through at least 1 year of daily wearing before it is resoled. If it cannot be resoled, it isn't worth even buying, in my opinion.
You're working in a woodshop, standing on your feet for nearly 8-hours a day in boots that don't have any kind of shank? Bet that doesn't feel too good by the end of the day.
This is a relatively new thing. When Origin first launched the bison boot, they didn’t have a “tough” boot. The bisons boots are STILL marketed as “built to work” right on the box and website.
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC And yet if you use some common sense and critical thinking it's obvious you aren't really buying a daily "work" boot. But you're right, it says it on the box so it must be true. Work boots tend to have toe protection and safety ratings. Use your head.
Look forward to an update on the wear.
Soon… got a big job that im finishing up, and I’d like to have the time to make it a quality video. Haven’t had time
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLCwould like to see an update

how have they held up?

They look sharp. That’s Forsure. Love the leathwr

Looking like Origin is on the right track,They might have to go to bull hide for work boots,Thanks for the update.
I enjoyed your review of past Origin boots. I am awaiting your review of these before I get my next work boots. Thanks for the past reviews!
Can’t wait to see the results.
You know woodwork, glue+mechanical fastener= a very secure connection. I think that's what they are going for with Gen3 here. We all will be waiting for the next update.
for as much as they are, i think these boots should last at least 5 years. im intrigued to see how these ones treat you!
I'm willing to pay a hundred dollars a year on boots, so if these 300 dollar boots last three years, I'll be happy
Curious how they’ve held up? I think the screws in the soles should’ve bought some more time. If you can get about a year of daily wear out of boots before needing resole that ain’t too bad.

If they hold up, I'll be getting a pair.
I hope they do. How long do you think they should last to consider “held up”?
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC a year before resole
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC a hundred dollars is about a year for me, at least on the job. So about two or three years before they are no longer usable
I really just thought they were more of a fashion boot and not a real “work” boot. My attraction to them is being sourced in the USA.
That was also my attraction to them. I googled “USA made work boot” and they were the first link
I think overall original boots are to casual boots and not working boots overall… having said that your review videos makes origins make better boots … so good job for honest review

How boots should look. Working. Do a review on the thorogood
Howdy! Thorogoods have been my go-to for a decade. Been researching recently to see about switching up. Any conclusions on the origins yet or video still in work?
Soon, see pinned comment
When is the update on the 3rd generation Origin American Bison boots coming out? I'm looking forward to it a great deal. Thanks.
Next week, in the video I’ll explain why it took so long
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC Thanks so much. I see from this video they put screws in the toes, did they by chance add any sort of shank to the sole, whether steel or synthetic or leather? Thanks again.

Why not try their Built boot, which are marketed for work?
They didn’t send me their built boot. They had the option to replace the bison boots I ordered. When I made the first purchase, their “built boot” wasn’t being sold yet. After the second pair failed, the built boot was on the market and they decided to send me the bison boot again

Any update on how the boots are holding up?
What boot does your partner use? And what boot did you reference that you’ve been using?
Thorogood
Smooth concrete, at minimum 1 year.
You said you wear other boots USA made that are cheaper and more comfortable. On that note, in order to claim made in USA they only need to be soled in here to meet that regulation. The rest of the process can be anywhere outside the US.
Also some of Origin boots have Cristy soles. Cristy soles don't last 2 weeks on rough concrete. If they used a good sole then we'd see more guys in commercial construction trying them
Time for an update??? I have held off buying these cause of your experence. Based on comments below their boots still need work. Maybe some year.
I’m going to soon. But If your gonna use them as work boots, I’d hold off
You think you might be better off with the christy sole version for your work environment? that mini lug sole strikes me more as the "fashion" sole. or are you only focusing on how the upper holds up.
That’s the first boot they sent me. Didn’t last long. Check out my first bison boot vid
As shallow as those mini lugs are, they might as well be a thin wedge sole. I don't like the mini lug for work, only casual and they look especially thin on these boots. I'm about to order these in the black wedge sole, I think that's a better match for being on concrete.
Thorogood and Carolina boots aren’t American made. They are just assembled in the USA. Origin is truly American made
doesn't everyone know that?
@@edrader no
The anticipation is killing me lol
Soon, see pinned comment
You go Tony! Long time no see.. you must be smothered in work!
1 last project then we get to focus on content. 2023 is going to be a good year
Get a pair of Nick's
What type of boots were those black ones?
Thorogoods?
😏
Don't know if they are good. Ordered a month ago, haven't received them and cannot contact customer service. Back to Redwing.
That’s blows man. Definitely keep on it, and get your boots
When are you going to do a update
Soon, see pinned comment
Any update?
I subbed just to find out the results!. please give us updates. Thank you !
I feel like you're not comparing apples to apples. Bison leather, and those boots especially are casual boots. Origin makes a specific work boot. Why not test that one?

1:00 Could you tell me te name of the cheaper boots?
Thorogood American Heritage Moc Toe Boots
Any updates?
Soon
so why not invest in their built boot line? origin has made a dedicated work boot line now, versus what you’ve been getting from them.
They sent me this replacement pair to test… they could of sent built boots right?
I think a good pair of boots should last through at least 1 year of daily wearing before it is resoled. If it cannot be resoled, it isn't worth even buying, in my opinion.
Are the other redwings
Nope
These arent a work boot. You need a PNW wedge boots from JK or Nicks... @jkbootsusa @nicksboots Competition? Who can do it better?
what is the weight per boot?
Heavy!
They probably thought it would be mostly Harley riders posing like they are in the trades buying them. M
Update?
Soon
Uodate!!😊
Soon, see pinned comment
Shouldn't wear them on consecutive days
I should be able to wear them consecutive days with no issues.
Two years minimum, with a resole if needed.
Updates this week
You're working in a woodshop, standing on your feet for nearly 8-hours a day in boots that don't have any kind of shank? Bet that doesn't feel too good by the end of the day.
i wanna know what youre partners boots are!

1 year.
They have work specific boots. These are not those boots.

Why are you still testing a casual boot for work? It's a casual boot, buy a work boot for work lol it's not even steel or aluminum toe
Box says: “built to work, built for a lifetime” nuff said
@@TNTINDUSTRIESLLC And yet if you use some common sense and critical thinking it's obvious you aren't really buying a daily "work" boot. But you're right, it says it on the box so it must be true. Work boots tend to have toe protection and safety ratings. Use your head.
@@bigamigo4863LOL this guy has done zero maintenance but yet he is complaining. Clearely he has got no head.
@@bigamigo4863 these guys are trying to make a work ready boot, from 100% USA raw materials. I'd use em for work too, if the sole sticks this time
