Since when are Redwing Brand Boots made in China?

Did I spot a pair of impersonators? Yes, I am aware that RedWing shoe company owns other brands that are made overseas(e.g. WORX). But... a boot sold under the Red Wing label?!?!!!

Since when are Redwing Brand Boots made in China?
real Redwings are still made in the US, so yes you probably saw a boot under their label
Reply:Its all about corporate profit. Many company%26#039;s are outsourcing their products. They don%26#039;t care about American Jobs they just want American Cash. Its hard to find anything made today that has not been outsourced. Rocky Boots was once made in Ohio with local labour. Now they only sell their outsourced boots in Ohio at the same place they were once made. I have no doubt that Redwing has followed the rest in this mass exodus of American Jobs. If you bought a Nike shoe for say $120.00 it was made for $1.20 somewhere in China. The same shoe here would have cost $20.00 to make. Because of higher labour, EPA, Taxes.
