Whoever was the first guy to outsource the manufacture of goods bound for sale in the US to China needs to be slapped in the friggen face! What an A-hole!
No need for name-calling bro...I already apologized for doing that.
It ain't my fault I'm a business genius.

I just looked at the bottom of my Chippewa's and there's a brown blob. Dangit! Looks like I stepped in dog crap.

My DoubleH boots have blue on the bottom in the middle.
Heaviest leather uppers I could find in a USMADE boot.

I think orange is the new pink - and it's stinky . . .

I am wearing my newly arrived Chippewa steel toed Made in USA boots today to start breakin' them in.

Some Chippewa's are made in China or elsewhere. You can tell by the sizing. If the width is measured as narrow, medium, or wide. It's offshore. If it's C, D, E, EE etc. It's Made in USA.

I thought this changed and they're now making their motorcycle boots offshore. I could be wrong.

REDWING boots have black on the bottom, and they are made in the U.S....
End of discussion.
not exactly the end of discussion.

only a few styles of redwings are made in the USA anymore.

and none of their motorcycle boots are.
Correct, Redwing no longer manufactures their motorcycle boots in the US.

However, if you have a strange size or a low volume Redwing dealer you may still find the Made in USA version of the boot in old backstock.

The local Redwing store had a pair of 8 1/2 and 10s on display that were Made in USA. But none left in my size 12D. [:@]

Bought boots from Cruiser Works. Made in USA, no break-in required and most comfortabe boots I've ever had. I'm sure some other brands may be as good, but can't imagine them being any better.
