Buyer’s Guide to American Made Boots

If you are looking for top quality materials and craftsmanship, it is hard to beat American made boots. Unfortunately, the battle to lower prices has resulted in production being shipped overseas. However, lower prices do not necessarily mean lower costs.

In fact, outsourced products carry large costs in other areas. Poor stitching, inadequate waterproofing, inferior leather and uncomfortable shaping may drive the price tag down – but the stress on your feet and the shorter lifespan of the footwear are not worth the savings in price.

Below you will find American made brands that have earned a reputation for producing quality boots.

Since the mid 1950’s, Double-H has created some of the best western footwear in the business. Well known for their two-tone designs and beautiful stitching, this Pennsylvania boot maker combines a traditional look with top-quality leather and patented outsole construction.

Thorogood footwear has been on the job almost as long as the American workforce has. The Wisconsin company introduced the country’s first safety work boots in 1892 and has stayed true to its heritage ever since, crafting the most durable work boots on the market.

While still a newcomer when compared to the other brands, Matterhorn has earned its place among American boot makers. In addition to supplying standard-surpassing footwear to EMS responders, law enforcement agencies, the armed forces and Homeland Security, Matterhorn is the name in mining boots. They offer insulated, comfortable boots built to perform in the most extreme conditions imaginable.
