Our Boot Factory is Having MAJOR Problems

[@IRLand713]

Manufacturing environments are tough. I am an IT Manager/Director in a medium-sized manufacturing company in the US and the struggle is real when it comes to sourcing parts and suppliers. Keep up the good work and God bless!

[@NDB469]

I like that you guys are honest, and showing some insight into some of your manufacturing processes/hangups. Really great, Honest, USA made oriented company. I appreciate you guys.

[@BradleyMakesThings]

I’m a COO at a small/medium manufacturer in the US and this is definitely realistic! Been through similar struggles over the years. Just part of the process. Just gotta get scrappy and roll with it the best you can like y’all are. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@danedralin8064]

Vote this Nov to bring manufacturing back to the USA

[@DominicMartinez-p6u]

Good thing I bought them yesterday and they’ve already shipped out today haha

[@justadudefrom97]

These are great but we need some leather origin flip flops!

[@NDB469]

Got a pair of your Mocs in whisky! Love them! Bought them the day they came out Labor Day 2024!

[@OmegaTou]

"If it were easy, everybody would be doing it." That is so true. Keep crushing it, Origin! 🎉

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

That’s awesome!!! Keep forging ahead fellas!!! Can you use a cork alternate material for that layer?

[@Warrior1Spartan]

If it were my call, I would say do both of those options: get the bulk material to split yourself as your waiting for your shipment to come in while also seeking out other manufacturers that can source it for you. Good on you for bringing jobs back to the US.

[@michaelfeduccia7989]

I hope your supplier gets their equipment fixed soon. I just ordered mine in Whiskey! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ryanmeader1111]

I got my denim jacket today. Looks and feels great!!

[@suh84sc]

Thanks Origin, glad i was able to get my boots sooner. You guys rock and keep up the good work!

[@ike780]

Anytime you see in the factory and hear from the workers, you know it's good. When do you see sweatshops giving airtime to their slaves?

[@martybanuelosjr]

If it was any company to over come these issues, it would be you guys! By any means necessary!

[@Tru3blu36]

Disruption always follows intention. Keep hammering team! 👊🏻

[@LukeC908]

Major problems? GOOD.

[@Trezker]

Every problem is an opportunity.

[@wilsonjanae]

Please consider adding sizes 7/7.5 again. I just got a pair of 7.5 bison boots that were discontinued. My surprise to have seen they were available.

[@AbandonedMaine]

Where are they sold in Maine?

[@snowg4953]

My opinion USA manufacturers need to obide by Henry Ford. All production aspects are in house or in the family.

[@rustyshackleford3099]

I got mine and they are awesome. 🎉

[@snowg4953]

I live in Massachusetts. Maine is an amazing state that better stay free. I am looking to move north and looking for work. I am available. Big fan of your jeans. I have never bought a shoe or boot not made in USA besides original sorel boots.

[@JordanSamaniego-f8g]

Does anyone know if they are cranking these boots out yet or is there still a halt in production?

[@jaquima36]

go to a leather midsole?

[@TyEMW1014]

Something my first television tower boss told me... I was ontop of a 1000' to 2000' foot tower at night time hanging off a 125' pole ontop of the tower and the fiberglass hand holds kept breaking off. There wasn't anything else to hold onto and there was no way to have a safety, so I was free climbing.

[@TyEMW1014]

if it was easy they would have *^*& and &*^$& up here and we wouldn't have a job. have fun with your little boot problem or whatever

[@TheManFromGallifrey]

Make it a leather mid sole! Get Rose Anvil involved in the design process!

[@tanthony3895]

they could absolutely go with a leather midsole but they would not be able to maintain the price point they would like. Leather is prohibitively expensive and that is part of the reason why they're not using a solid leather insole. Consumers don't realize how costly high quality leather really is.

[@dsdiesel8667]

Why not go go for a leather midsole?

[@ExtraRice365]

Origin USA (+Canada) I'm ok with that on occasion

[@loganviking3923]

And to be fair, that was a machine part, not material for the product. All products are still 100% U.S. made ("from dirt to shirt" as the moto goes).

[@joshm9163]

Is that the kid that sang about fudge rounds?

[@SteelCityIceBirds]

Why not a leather midsole? I know rubber adheres to rubber better but leather is still a very viable option.

[@omwtfym12]

Yall out here talking about boots and im like whats the maintainance guy doing lol

[@Dennis_Origin]

RIGHT!! Dillon is always deep into something. Sometimes I don't want to know lol. Dillon Keeps this place Running!

[@amberandrews-ls6mr]

It would be a better boot with a leather midsole

[@GearedDad]

“If it was easy everybody would do it.” Yes.

[@Tony2Wild3]

Buy the midsole company 👀

[@asknwclips7672]

Bummah!

[@FreemanSprings]

Sure would be nice if I could spend my hard earned money, on US company in my home state.. but they don’t make anything big enough to fit my foot.

[@PaddleDogC5]

Sasquatch?

[@andyjwagner]

Come on… Canadian supplier? German? Just temporarily.😂

[@tanthony3895]

I can virtually guarantee in this economic environment and the state of our country they will not be able to withstand having this boot built here and survive as a company. To make a true american-made product in this country with the current state of things, is virtually impossible. Companies are forced to pivot and bring in offshore labor and materials. If they want to stay in business they are going to have to utilize the same production structure as virtually every other company in the US which means going offshore. This is the reality our politicians from both sides of the aisles have created due to lobbist and politics. The average American either does not want to pay or cannot afford to pay for true American made items. In today's world made in the USA means you better be ready to get your checkbook out. The average consumer has no idea of true business cost...

[@ChristopherBodiford]

pr stunt?

[@PaddleDogC5]

You're in business stop crying.

[@Harryed81]

Your boots are trash. I destroyed mine in one 10hr day. I feel bad for people that spend their hard earned money on this junk.

[@donnyshankles7852]

why the fuck all yalls shit cost as much as gucci. shits pretty gay

[@donnyshankles7852]

@dawn19maria im not spending 70 dollars on a shirt i dont give a damn if it was made in heaven by jesus himself. this just boutique clothing for blue collar cosplayers.

[@michaelfeduccia7989]

​@donnyshankles7852 spend your time and money elsewhere then. Geez. It's about creating American jobs and pride in craftsmanship.

[@htownblue11]

Gucci makes trash product that rarely lasts. There is an entire industry of Gucci returned product that the manufacturer won’t even fix, they sell in used bulk. Look inside a Gucci purse or shirt next time you’re near their store…..you’ll see frays on the inside straight from the Chinese and Pakistan factory they source their stuff from. At least Origin makes a quality product that isn’t robbing people due to a “brand”.

[@loganviking3923]

Actually paying their workers instead of using sweat shop slave labor is a big cost, as is sourcing 100% of the material from the U.S. And their products are all outstanding quality. If you don't want their level of quality or to support their mission to rebuild American manufacturing, but instead prefer to buy subpar products while supporting slavery and the continued death of American manufacturing, that's your prerogative.

[@donnyshankles7852]

@@loganviking3923 there is no such thing as 70 dollars worth of quality for a tee shirt. you can fall for the marketing if ya want but im not buying a 30 dollar shirt for 70 dollars. literally the only thing they sell that is priced right are the boots everything else is a bit of a cash grab.
