Thumbs up New boots - Made in USA!!!!

Needed something for work as my days are 11 - 12 hours and most of that time is on my feet, often times on a ladder. I was determined to buy American made. Went to a privately owned shoe store and they had plenty but I ended up with a pair of Justin and even got a deal. Priced at $180 but got them for $140. My feet are proud to be wearing American!!!

As good socks are equally important I only wear Thorlos. Guess I have at least $500.00 worth of their socks and a better sock you can not find. Have some for sport, riding, casual and work. As a bonus they are made not far from me in Statesville, NC.

Try chippewa's or redbacks. Both are great boots.

If you ever care to try another American Made Sock give these a try. Feet feel like they are floating on air and they last and last. No toe holes ever! lol

Yes I found more than a few Justin boots to be made in USA. I love the Justin's I have. All USA made. Very nice for you to put in the effort to find USA made products. Most other people just complain about all the offshore made stuff and do nothing about it.

I've seen Justin boots made in a number of countries such as Mexico, China, ......

Take a look at Red Wings.

Good deal Mike. Buying American is important. There are some on this forum that will say that Made in USA is a fallacy. Too bad any American would feel that way. Guys like you keep the country going. Guys like that.....well, you decide.
