Everything is made in China!.....
9 years ago I ordered a very expensive pair of special hiking boots from Propet USA, they manufactur special orthopaedic shoes, boots etc.
Sent a copy of both feet on A4 paper, pencil around foot, wrote measurements in imperial, according to them I had a wide foot etc, etc.

Supposed to be waterproof up to the top lace hole, asked for plastic eyelets specifically for gold prospecting, swinging detector set off by brass eyelets, paid them $330.00 US dollars and $45.00 US dollars postage!
Very expensive but apparently the best

4 months later I get a package, covered in Chinese stamps from customs and such, they looked great, but I thought for the cost I was supporting an American worker in an American workshop?
They were not wide enough, had brass eyelets and there was no insole?
I wore them at home for a day, when I took em off I had the pattern of a milk crate in both heels, they forgot the insole.

Emailed maker and went off my nut, they said "that's what you ordered" geez I had the ****s, but either send back to USA, not China or put it down to bad experience, I bought Scholl insoles but that made em too tight, and every time I swung my metal detector it went off

What a scam, made in China, posted from China and paid for in US dollars
