Does Goodyear still actually make the boots or soles or is that the name of the design? The Goodyear welt has been around forever.

I always assumed they were made by them, otherwise I can’t imagine them being allowed to use the name, be glad if I’m wrong, that way I can continue to buy my boots.

Goodyear welted footwear has effectively nothing to do with the Goodyear SJW corporation. It is a design for attaching an upper to a sole, invented by a guy named Goodyear.

Kinda hard for me to boycott what I don't buy anyway. BUT... I know for a fact that Goodyear is a defense contractor. I know for a fact also that they have a govt contract for many other agencies as well. Like the US Border Patrol. Reckon those boys go through some tires out there in the border country? I bet Uncle Sam will be reviewing some purchase orders and contracts now...

I’ve bought plenty over the years with pretty good service out of them. Not always but farming I drove 75 percent gravel so if I got 35000 miles out of a set I was happy. Edk

Words aren't actions. But I wouldn't expect a Boomer to understand the difference.

Goodyear pitched a fit because SF ODA's were putting TSL Super Swampers on their HMMWV's and not long after that orders come down to take any Super Swampers off and get rid of them. I remember seeing stacks of brand new 37 x 12.5 Super Swampers that we couldn't use. I sure would of rather had the Swampers when I was driving around over there.

Real easy for me to boycott their garbage tires . They closed the plant in Union City Tn and laid off 1900 workers .

Not true, President Trump gets an enormous amount of schit done, mostly by himself without the help of his own party. I have said that his DOJ and his FBI are getting nothing done, unless of course you consider successfully obstructing congress and the truth “something”.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Trump slammed Goodyear.............MAGA Good for him. Care to guess what brand of super tires the Beast runs on? I don't like getting stuck, flat tires, slipping around on icy or snow packed roads, paying big bucks for tires, suffering fast wear, or getting stuck (said it twice). Goodyear Duratacs are simply in a class by themselves for a hard use western tire. Fact. Goodyear backtracked enough for me. You all who don't really need a superlative tire are free to keep expressing your outrage.

I'm on my 3rd set of Wrangler Kevlars, best tires that I have ever used. When I replace these in 15k miles it won't be w Goodyears. I wonder what is US made and next best?
