I've got some Redwing engineer boots, and they were made in the U.S.A. Great quality. But, I'm fairly certain that at least some, if not all of them are made overseas now. I was able to compare the quality of the American made engineer boots to the overseas version. Hands down, the American made boots I bought are far superior to the overseas version. If you can find some "new old stock" of the American Redwing boots, I'd say you'll love them. Otherwise, I'd look for something else.

I really like the Wesco boots but I am trying to decide if they are worth the extra 100$ or so over Chippewa's

That's good to hear. When I was looking for my engineer boots a few years ago, I scoured the internet and I couldn't find any, other than one pair (at a local Redwing store) that still had a made in U.S.A. label. I thought it was just their "motorcycle" engineer boots that were being outsourced overseas. But, if Redwing has decided to keep the quality, and have all of them made in American again, great!!

If I could afford 'em, I'd go Wesco. They're just up the road from me. Great boot!
