Which shoes are NOT made overseas? I'm serious. I want to know because I'd like to buy some shoes manufactured in our country.

I have seen people take care of these shoes with utmost care and not wear it in the same manner that most people will. Cleaning it with special cleaners and drying it a certain way. Plus if it is certified that it belonged to a certain athlete, That just makes the value of the shoe go up. So if Kaep ends up winning a SB or two, auctioning it will bring a hefty price to a collector of sports memorbrilia.

900 series New Balance and SAS. SAS has some nice sneakers out now that are almost as comfortable as NB999s. The cheaper NB are made elsewhere.
IMPORTANT: If you find out these companies are now secretly making all or part of these shoes overseas...please don't tell me! LOL! It's so darn hard to buy american...just ask my Honda dealer!

Here's a link to american made shoes: link
Oddly, New Balance isn't listed...no doubt due to the majority of their shoes being made elsewhere. I also tried to start buying clothes made in the USA but that is really difficult.

There should be a special section in major retailers that highlight American made product so that I as a consumer at least have the option to pick an American product if there is one available to my liking. I shouldn't have to scour the web for it if it is right there in my face. I don't mind helping my American neighbor to keep his/her job if their product is on par with the competition

Agree! In some cases, Honda, the companies are moving factories to the US because our labor is high quality.

Most people do good work when given a good reason. Honda has plants in Ohio, Alabama and Indiana.

At least be selective Kaep. Maybe this is what Matt Barnes means about him being a "hoe ass".
Sure, man. Take the butthurt, cuckolded Clipper scrub's position. Why am I not surprised? You, all Raider fans and all Seahawk fans stand together. Nice going.
bahahaha
