Well that’s disappointing to hear. I have had mine for like a decade so it’d make sense that I’m out of the loop

They have several product lines and many are still made in the states, but from what I’ve seen in-store, their Chinese footwear might be made there but they’re a tight on designs with them as the US-made boots, although many of the cheaper boots have molded soles instead of welts, so it isn’t exactly 1-1 comparisons.

I was there last month looking for some safety shoes to replace my redwing boots as I’ve changed roles in my company and don’t need 8" boots anymore. They didn’t have any shoes in stock because they were partnering with New Balance for their fall lineup of safety shoes. I couldn’t wait, so I picked up an ultra light 6" boot that I’m pretty happy with. Still fucking expensive though.
