It also says "USA" on the back. I think they make some shoes that say "Made in USA" on the outside. It says “Made in USA” on the inside. It also says “USA” on the back.

I really like what I read. I loved the part about not paying those huge endorsments other shoes companies pay, but rather build a great product instead. They mentioned they maintain some factories here in the US. Do your shoes say "Made in the USA" I think you may have won them a new customer the next time I need shoes.

We have to (and probably should have to) adhere to guide lines regarding waste and run off etc, I doubt very much they have any rules at all. If you can't do it for the USA how about the Earth!

China (like some other nations that American does business with) has questionable human rights policies. Products from there are made with slave labor. How can you enjoy something knowning that whoever made it suffered? Whatever happened to a social conscience? You can start with shoes. I have a pair of American-made New Balance sneakers. They are amazing. They feel comfortable and are holding up fine. The best part is that they are not very expensive. The price is rather competitive.
