You scared me so I looked on their website and it shows they are still handcrafted in Minnesota.

It looks like they have another line, “worx” that is built overseas. [/quote]

Really cool, I have wore Red wing work boots for 15 years, same pair for the last 10, my dad had told me that they stopped making them in the US. Now you made my day.[/quote]

The model I’ve worn for ten years:

Says right on the site it’s hand made here.

I love their boots. They fit like a glove after breaking in, I’ve only replaced the sole once and I wear them hunting, camping, out and about… they are with me like an old friend and never fail me. Like a baseball mitt for my feet.

It is nice to know that if I ever have to replace the leather portion it will be with American leather and craftsmanship.

The only thing that makes me a little sad is that they are not HQ’d in Texas.

I wear the exact same pair, I always get looks when I go into a patients room they look at my boots and ask “Are you the Dr”. Kind of cracks me up.

I have yet to have to replace soles, I have debated on buying new pair or replacing.

Soles. But do it right, with the proper sole and at a Redwing store. The leather is already perfect. It will take ten more years to get your new boots where you want them.

Not really Token when you think about it, I paid $160, 10 years ago for a pair of boots that are still going strong 10 years later. That is $16 a year pretty cheap when you think about it. Or you could pay a lot less but have to replace the boots every other year.

Hardly anything is made in America anymore. Most of our industries are being shipped off to China or some other foreign places. The only “american” things we have left are beer,tattoos,and prostitutes. (Well,thats from listening to the Walton and Johnson show)

Yep, and with a new sole, at minimal cost, they will keep kicking for at least another ten. Hell, if you keep them clean and oiled, I don’t see why they wouldn’t last a lifetime with a few sole replacements.

There was a store off Gessner and I-10, locally owned franchise by a guy name Mike from Katy. He did an excellent job a few years ago. His store was scrapped when I-10 was widened. Poor guy.

He still has a store in Katy but that is a hell of a drive for you. Does all his own work right in the back of his shop though.

Well do not want this thread to be shipped to PWI, however what do most people think companies are going to do? If you owned a business you are in it to make money, and if it is millions cheaper to produce over seas, well big business is going to do it. Not saying right or wrong honestly but since I started working in the occupational medicine field I understand now.

And thats all I am going to say about that.

True, but I do ride my Harley in these boots also, and when I go to the parents ranch.

That reminds me I have 300 pounds of grass fed beef I have to go and pick up.
