Manufacturing and production in places like China requires constant overseeing to mantain quality control. While many places are improving the bitter taste of buying bad stuff in the past tends to keep us very wary.
Spitfire said:Hope you do not mind me asking, but why is it so important where the boots are made - isn't it more important if they are historical correct.
And the right size of course.
Same story in building products. And I've heard similar stories from just about every other product sector.John in Covina said:China...The first order is usually to spec as the repeat business comes in the likelyhood of failure to meet specs goes up UNLESS you have your own QC people at the factory watching and testing all of the time.
Our boots come from the Corcoran factory and are hand made here in the USA (Yes Corcoran still exists and still makes boots for the military!). We are the only retailer offering our vast selection of WWII reproduction footwear using the copyrighted genuine WWII spec Army Munson last.
