I went out shopping yesterday with my wife and kids, all I had on my shopping list was a pair of new work boots. I was under the impression that my task at finding a good pair would be an easy task, I was dead wrong!
Winter is approaching fast in Upstate New York and I had a small list of requirement for the work boots I wanted. They had to be “real” leather, insulated, water proof, have a rugged sole, strong laces and they had to be “Made in America!”
We went to Wal Mart first and I struck out on my search, they had a terrible selection and non were made in America. Next we went to K-mart, they had a better selection and a great sale too! Buy one pair and get another pair at 50% off, but again none were made in America! Figured I would try some of the shoe stores in the Mall, nope all the work boots I came across were NOT made in America!
This is insane! Why can I not find a good pair of work boots that are made in the United States of America! I wanted to scream!
Well it was not a total loss, my four kids got some really nice Halloween costumes, of course they were all made in China!
If anyone knows someplace where I can get quality American made work boots please let me know!
