Wrangler may be the worst. I have Wrangler jeans from Cambodia, Mexico and Losotho (had to look that one up) and a shirt from Bangladesh. If you want actual made in America Wranglers, you better shell out some coin!

Ya, they have a met guard. I don't order online though. There is a red wing store close to the house. Get my boots cleaned while I'm there also.

thats good! They have some very good stores, and make some good boots. I can't speak bad of them! They are mostly franchises so just like any franchise like that some are fantastic and some well not so much! hahaha

I really do appreciate keeping this conversation civil as well to all involved. Very easy can this go south quick! Shows that the group involved is mature enough to handle it! Not all forums are created equal! hahaha

fyi this is probably the boot you have or similar just so you got it! Always good to know style number cause boots discontinue a lot, and the sales rep can give you the closest replacement styles.

Also with the met guards redwing doesn't have any boots that are made in the USA unless its a logger style. They do have the ones like your that are basically assembled in the USA. This is what I had eluded to in my previous posts. Again, not arguing just proving a point of the misconception of many brands in America. See the link below with included filters.

Those are my boots in the link you posted. I actually got them for free. My previous employer had a deal with red wing and they gave us $50 off our boots. I ended up resigning my position there and got the boots for free because they were never able to take the money out of my check LOL. I actually go to charm harness and boot in Amish country for all of my boots. Its not one of the franchise stores.

ahh subsidized programs. Something I am all to familiar with! Thats cool man, I am a supporter of those small mom/poop shops! It actually keeps the boot business going just as much as the larger stores like Academy, Dicks, etc.
