So many Red Wing recommendations.

Made. In. China.

Only the Heritage line is made in the U.S.

Edit: or other Asian countries, of which I have no beef. But few are made in America, as their marketing and advertising would lead us to believe.

Not entirely true. They still make all of the supersoles, BRNR XPs, Dynaforces, Traction Treds, Nailseats, and (like you mentioned) Heritage boots in the USA.

That is a good majority, but we vote with our dollar, and the fact that they still offer made in USA boots is a good thing.

But yes, the marketing is slightly deceiving but not as bad as most work boot brands. (Chippewa and Brunts)
