Red Wing Boots are now made in China as well as the U.S.

Cost:
U.S. - 240 to 300 depending on model etc..
Chinese - 120 on average.

Quality:
U.S. Boots are over 8 years old and on their 3rd re-sole.
Chinese - Split apart after working in this Fall's floods.

Conclusion, not all chinese stuff is crap, not all American made goods are the bee's knee's BUT every Redwing ain't a Redwing.
