It's hard to even find well-made stuff. There are tons of things I'd gladly pay a 2x markup for if it were built to last, but in the vast majority of cases it's buried under a mountain of cheap garbage and nearly impossible to discover.
Most old reliable brands are now churning out the same type of garbage. Doc Martens is a notable exception in that they do still make and prominently offer Made in England boots.
- quickthrowman 5y agoThere are plenty of quality shoe makers, they just cost more. Red Wing, Allen Edmonds, Rancourt, White’s Boots, Quoddy, Alden, Viberg are made in the US/Canada. Loake, Church’s, Trickers, Cheaney, Edward Green, John Lobb are made in the UK. Meermin and Carmina are made in Spain. There are a lot more as well.
