Same here, been wearing Red Wings at least that long. They have started making some models overseas but, thankfully, they still make the two models I wear here in the good old US of A.
I wear 1411's in the winter and 402's the rest of the year.
Eh...wot?

Lot's of manufacturers do that. One notable one is Filson, makers of the famous "Tin Cloth" hunting apparel. Their stuff is made from cotton imported from Mexico. But like Red Wing, assembly is done here in America.
Eh...wot?

The big plant in redwing mn is still there. Hasnt been a boot come out of it in a loooooong time. I think we all need to learn how to speak Mandarin If you look at that photo you will see the imported material disclaimer. They probably put the laces on here in CA or someplace

Made is the U.S.A with imported materials --- Translation Made in the U.S.A with chinese leather , foam and rubber. This is a pretty ignorant statement. Redwing has their own tannery in redwing, Minnesota. They use leather from American cattle and tan them right here in the USA. You're probably right on the foam and rubber though, not sure where it comes from.

I will go shoeless before you’d find a pair of crocks on my feet. .....Hey Davisfur..do you drive a Subaru too ?
