I’ve been only wearing barefoot footwear for over 15 years. I’ve tried plenty of brands and footwear types, these boots are by far the best I’ve worn.
Immediately comfortable out of the box, comparable to how my Vivobarefoot suede gobi boots have been my go-to for 10+years, the Origo Adventurers are an instant favourite.
These are town/everyday boots for me, they could do harder work, but I want to keep them in good state - I want them to last, even with a lot of use, and I’m confident they will.
The leather is soft, supple, and relatively thin - so I’ll see how they fair in colder weather, but the fit is really good for me, and an extra pair of socks won’t be a problem if needed.
They look great, I have the Mahogany colour, such a nice warm brown tone. The toe box is roomy but they don’t look like clown shoes, and I like the height of these boots, and the combination of holes and hooks for lacing, plenty of options and allow for getting them on/off easily.
I have lots of footwear, all for different uses, but smart stitch-down boots have been very hard to find, and even fewer wear actually any good - even those were not continued by manufacturers (like Vivobarefoot Porto).
Suggestions for improvements, I’d not a fan of pull loops on the back of the boot, they catch or stick out - these aren’t as bad as some, but I always cut them off. I’d love to see more colours, lighter browns, greens, etc. Online the two brown options are hard to distinguish, I don’t see enough…
