This was my first experience with the Origo brand. I’ve worn minimalist shoes and boots for as long as I can remember. I’ve gone through a couple of pairs of Lems recently but wanted to try something different, and Origo is one of the only quality barefoot-style boot brands on the market.
I love the caramel color—it looks great with light jeans, dark jeans, brown, and army green pants. These boots elevate everything I wear. My original plan was to wear them occasionally, but I’ve ended up wearing them every day for weeks. I even wear them when traveling, despite knowing they'll be a hassle at the TSA checkpoint (taking them off and putting them on)—worth it because I just feel better in them.
At first, I was concerned that the toe box looked a bit too wide or clownish. I felt self-conscious the first time I wore them, but that quickly passed. With just a little break-in time, the boots took on a more natural, foot-shaped contour that feels and looks right.
I’ll definitely wear these into the ground, and I’ll definitely be asking for a black pair for my birthday this summer. Great boots, great brand. Highly recommend.
