There are plenty of US made boots. But Ariat, Wolverine, Thorogood, Red Wing, Justin, Danner, among a few big ones, all have set up chicom or Asian factories. It's not that they are worse quality but they are definitely overcharging since the US made are sold at the same cost, and are financing our enemy.

Lately, I just go to my local cobbler to see what he's got. There maybe a local maker near you, usually you'll spend a bit more but end up with a higher-quality product made for you rather than something generic and poorly fitting.
