Red Wing

Great walking/working boot not so sure about hunting but they do have Goretex options.

 

I have two pair of Redwings but looking for aaa hunting boot.

 

I am not buying anymore Mucks and I am looking for an American made hunting boot. Rubber or leather is fine at this point. I checked out the following:

Danner- Imported
Kenetrek- Made in Italy
Lacrosse- Imported
Muck-China
Under Armor-China

Is there an actual company out there that makes great hunting boots made in America?

ALL Danners are not imported......Go to their web page and look.....

 

I looked on their web page and everything I looked at said imported.

 

Most of redwings are made in China. Maybe assembled somewhat here but made there. Not many made here. Look at thorogood boots. 100% made usa

 

I pretty sure they are made in Red Wing Minnesota.... I have worked in Bloomington/Apple Valley area many times and pretty sure the Factory is in Red Wing....

 

Thanks keep them coming.

 

Thorogood boots. Made in the USA

 

Good boots too!

 

Chippewa boots are all USA made.

 

Look at Chippewa boots. I got a set of insulated logger boots to hunt in last year. Loved them. Great traction, thick supportive leather construction, waterproof, and made in USA. They also have an Arctic Leather logger that is supposed to be even warmer for colder climates. My thinsulate lined boots did just fine in the PA cold we had this year. They cost a little more than some of the other boots but you get what you pay for. Make sure you get the ones with the American Flag emblem on the laces, they are the US made ones. Some of Chippewas less expensive shoes and boots are imported.

 

The loggers look great. It says wool insulation and not tho dilate but I know wool is warm I might just grab some. Love that they are made in America.

 

Whites packs they are made in Spokane Washington I have been using them for years and just redo my soles as needed and keep my broke in uppers.

 

Is it the Arctics? They have a white wooly lining. You can't go wrong with any of them. They are a very rugged and durable boot that are also comfortable.

 

Mine are the 9" Bay Apache Waterproof Insulated Super Logger #25408 for reference. They have 400 grams of Thinsulate Ultra.

 

I believe a lot of the older American boot companies that have military contracts make their boots in the U.S. Belleville and Bates come to mind. I have a couple of pairs of Belleville boots and they are great for hunting.

 

Irish Setter, Carhart, Vasque are brands owned by Red wWng are made in China but RED WING Boots are made in Good Ol' USA in Potosi Missouri and Red Wing Minnesota...

 

That is not true for all models of RedWing. Go to their site, the first pair I clicked on (409) said made in China.

 

I have 5 pairs of Danners all made in the USA.

 

Same here. All mine say it inside the tag. I think my danner grouse actually have it stamped on the rubber too.

 

Had a couple pair of Chippewas have had a pair of their packers since 03 and they are my all time favorite and most comfortable boot that I have ever owned

 

LL Bean has always advertised their Maine Hunting Shoes are "made in USA, one pair at a time." I hope that's true... But regardless, LL Bean is an awesome, iconic American company, and I think it's a good boot.

 

I work for Beans and I've been to the shoe factory in Lewiston. Every part and every pair of Bean Boots are made here in Maine by Mainers and that will never change. It what makes me proud to work for them and I love hunting in my Bean boots.

There are more but I can't think of them right now, lol.

 

Thanks for the links and post.

 

Thanks for posting that! My Red Wing shoes say Made In USA, guess not all are and I'm gonna have to pay attention.

 

What about Georgia boots? Heard those are USA made. I could be wrong.

 

Everything I have read about them says they are Manufactured in Franklin TN.....

 

I think Schnees boots are made in Montana

 

+1000! These are on my Christmas list for sure! They are like LL Bean boots on steroids and with serious treads.

Another great boot company is Nick's but I will also second White's and Wesco boots. I have plantar fasciities and have always had problems with boots fitting comfortably - tried several brands and settled on White's for my work boot. The break in period is challenging but feet feel good at the end of the day. And made in the USA

 

Its funny how people didn't care that Mucks were made in China before, but now all of a sudden.......due to something completely unrelated to the country of origin.......

 

Have you ever considered having a pair of custom boots made? Dad and done it a few times and he has been very satisfied. The quality isn't ecen comparable to production boots.

Red Wings are made in Red Wing, MN. I drive past the factory all the time. Not sure about the comfort or quality.

 

Have used the Bean Hunting Shoes for over 50 yrs. of hunting in Pa., Canada and Maine. Unbeatable for any need I might have.

 

My Red Wing boots …81412... I get are made in the USA!

 

I had some old danner hunting boots that were made in the USA and they were awesome.last year ordered some new danner boots and to my suprize they were made in China .they were still $200 and now they are very uncomfortable .
