Very few Redwings are American made anymore thanks to EPA regulations on glues. unless it has a sewn on sole, they are made in China where there are nano regulations. On anything. I have had many pairs of the Redwing hikers and the sole always splits before the leather wears out (less than a year). Unfortunately they are unbelievably comfortable. Looking at the Merrill's with Vibram soles next. After I get my Wings back since I took them in for the sole split this time.
