So I bought a new pair of boots, and I went to Sheplers.com to help me find the perfect pair.Tony Lama's Brown Junction Waterproof Work Boots - Steel Toe
Upon first inspection on the details inside the boot.
Made in China? Seriously? I realize the reason for making in China is to reduce cost, but what is more American than a quality cowboy boot? I don't want it shipped from the orient. Nothing against the people, but I want my money spent on USA made stuff.
According to this website: https://usamadeproducts.biz/footwear-cowboy-boots.html
It shows Tony Lama boots are made in the USA. Not so. They may be HQ'd here, but the boots aren't made here. That's crap. I'd be willing to pay about 30% more for a boot knowing it was made in the USA. I'm not like most people though, but at what point does a company abandon their manufacturing in the USA in order to keep costs low?
Very disappointed. I'm about to quit purchasing certain items online, so I can inspect the details of where they are made. I once bought a 2nd Amendment jersey that I discovered when it arrived, that was made in China. How ironic.
It's time to more fully support the red, white and blue.
