You can still get classic redwings made in the usa they are fairly obvious to spot they look like leather not like vinyl and cloth like running shoes. Same with Clarks. You can also tell by the prices. I don't blame these people for trying to stay in business by having stuff made in cheaper places like everyone else and I applaud the fact that they still do make some classic lines themselves; and they are priced accordingly.
