Origo's service is top tier
Origo's service is top tier. I had no issue with ordering, delivery, or exchanging a pair of shoes that were too small for me. Thank you!

Great customer service
The shoes I originally ordered were not the wide version, which turned out to be too narrow for me. Switching them out ended up being very easy and I got the correct shoes pretty quickly and without and issues. Love them!

Avoid if you're based in the UK
Ordered shoes from Origo 2 months ago (order#54748), we used their size guide before selecting which size to order, but when the shoes arrived they came up too small. We emailed asking if we can exchange, to which they said no but they can refund us if we return the shoes. We returned the shoes (at our great expense, ~£30). They confirmed they had received the returned shoes on the 5th of May, and said we will receive confirmation of refund within 3-5 working days (which would put us at somewhere between the 8th and 12th) - still no refund, its the 17th now, 2 months after initially ordering, and even if we do get the refund we'll have spent a small fortune on shipping. The shoes were returned as new, not worn or damaged, so they've no excuse not to refund us.
Perhaps Origo are an okay company to purchase from if you're American, but if you're in the UK I wouldn't bother.

Dear Adam,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the delay and frustration you've experienced regarding your refund. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide.
We can confirm that your return was received, and we are deeply sorry that your refund transaction has taken longer than the promised 3-5 business days. We understand that international shipping costs add extra pressure to the situation, and we want to make this right immediately.
Thank you for your patience while we fix this for you.
All the best,
Origo Shoes Team
fit my toes!
great quality, good price, terrific fit. my toes take up a lot of room and the wide version of the huaraches are perfect to accommodate them.

Hi Laurie, thank you so much for the feedback! We are thrilled to hear that the Wide Huaraches are giving your toes the space they need. Providing that "perfect fit" for different foot shapes is exactly why we created the wide version. Enjoy the comfort!

Comfortable soft leather. I am new to barefoot shoes but after wearing these, I hope to change out all of my shoes!

Hi Benny,
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you’re concerned about the appearance of the leather on your new shoes.
Because we use high-quality, natural leather, it is common for "creasing" or "wrinkling" to develop quickly where your foot flexes. This is actually a sign that the leather is genuine and supple, rather than being coated in heavy plastics or synthetic finishes. Like a good pair of leather boots, they tend to develop a unique character as they break in.
That said, we want you to be 100% happy with your purchase. If the wrinkling seems excessive or looks like a structural defect, please send a quick photo to our team at hello@origoshoes.com. We’d be happy to take a closer look for you!

Better than I thought..
I’ve seen these shoes and just looked over them because they weren’t really my style. I saw a friend with them and thought I would try them. I love them. Goes well with dresses, skirts, linen pants, etc. Such a great versatile shoe. Shipping didn’t take too long either. Glad I stepped out of my comfort zone.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We are truly sorry to reach you at a time when you are disappointed with your purchase. While we use natural, artisanal leather designed to mold to the foot, we understand that every foot is unique, and we're sorry the width and quality didn't meet your standards. We would love the chance to make this right—please reach out to us at hellow@origoshoes.com with your order number so we can assist you with a return or help you find a style that better suits your needs.

I couldn’t be happier with these! 10/10
I absolutely love these shoes!! I can’t recommend them enough. I have been wearing them everyday since I got them.
I definitely recommend some of those adhesive anti-blister patches for the back of the heel. My one foot started to rub a blister without them, but once I added those it was no problem.
These seem extremely well made, so if you’re apprehensive because of the price I would say view them as an investment. Buying well made things once is better for the environment and for your wallet in the long run. Plus with barefoot/minimalist shoes you’re paying half for the foot-health-friendly design. Thankfully these are good quality on top of a comfortable design. Plus, I would say that of all of my barefoot shoes these are by far the most stylish! They go with pretty much every outfit.
I wore these to a wedding and not only were they super comfortable, but they were dressy and cute as well!
These have become my favorite barefoot shoes I own next to some minimalist sandals I wear for hiking and running errands.
Two other final notes: the wedding I was planning to wear these to was coming up fast, and I ordered a size too small initially. Customer service was very friendly and super fast at getting the replacement pair out to me.
On sizing, I would say carefully measure your foot, and think about what’s important to you. For me, width is super important so I ordered the wide variety. I initially ordered some that were juuuust the size of my foot, knowing that they need to break in and expand in the beginning, but when I put them on it actually hurt, so I knew I needed to exchange them. The exchanged pair was perfect though; form fitting to my foot but not painfully so. Within a week they were 95% worn in. So if you are like me and are most concerned about not overly squishing your foot in the break-in period, I would say measure your foot and allow a tiny bit of room, just not so much that you’ll be drowning in the shoes or else you may have trouble with them slipping off.
Anyway, do yourself a favor and buy a pair. These are amazing shoes!!

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are absolutely thrilled that your Origo shoes have become your everyday favorites and even made an appearance at a wedding!
Your advice on sizing and the 'anti-blister' tip is so helpful for the community—leather is a natural material that loves to mold to the foot, and we're glad you found that perfect balance between a secure fit and toe freedom. We also love your perspective on 'buying better' as an investment for both your health and the environment. It’s exactly why we do what we do!
We're so happy our team could get that exchange to you in time for your big event. Enjoy every stylish, comfortable step!
