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.

Is it ignorant ? They get their hides in a wet blue state, semi finished , then finish the tanning process at their facility. Who knows where the hides originate from.

Who cares?

The Red Wing work boots I buy are made here in the USA unlike 90% of the footwear sold in America.

What's on your feet?


Eh...wot?

Most cowhides in the US are shipped to China for tanning then shipped back to the US.

I ask a former fur dealer that also dealt in raw cowhides how that was economically viable. He didn't know but said that is the way it is done. Apparently there are not a lot of large commercial tanneries left n America.


Eh...wot?

I thought the mighty marine USMC47 was the only guy on here gay enough to wear crocs. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

The hides get shipped to China for tanning because China doesn't have the EPA. Lots of chemicals and waste that has to be properly disposed of here in the US but in China they just dump it in the nearest water source and forget about it. Therefore they can tan hides much cheaper because they don't have to worry about proper disposal. Just one more thing the US has sold out to China for a cheaper labor rate. And as far as crocs go most of you guys that are hating on them probably don't have the hair on your chest to wear them anyway. 😏

Crocks are amazing they can pitch about anything under your foot by just walking normal, it’s like magic. LOL


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Like Midlander I switched from Red Wing to Thorogood a few years back. I wore Red Wing for years but quality went downhill. Two years and the soles crumbled apart. I did have them resoled but chose not to buy another pair. I liked that Thorogoods are union made in the US. Three years on this first pair and still going strong. I'd bet I have another year before I need new soles. I like The quality of the leather much more than the RW leather. I will stick with Thorogood from now on.

I just looked at the Thorogood 8" work boots. They are very similar to the Red Wing 402's I wear most of the time but cost about a hundred bucks more.

Part of the description says, "Made In The U.S.A. with Globally Sourced Components." I don't have a problem with that but according to some on this thread that means just the label was put on here in the US. laugh

Like I said above, lot's of manufacturers that make their stuff in America use imported materials.

For now I will stick with my American built Red Wings. If their trend towards having boots built overseas continues, especially if they start building my models overseas, I will look into the Thorogoods.

Where are them Crocs made? grin

Crocs are primarily made in old Mexico but there are other countries that make them as well. I for one don't care. They are the only thing I have found to wear when I'm not working that helps relieve the plantars fasciitis that I developed from the first and only pair of Redwings I've ever owned. My new Rockies should be here today and yes I also don't care if they are made overseas, hopefully between them and the crocs I can repair the damage done by the Redwings. Doesn't matter where they're made if they cripple ya.
