SOME New Balance shoes are USA assembelled/components USA made. You have to look at the tongue to tell. Kohl's has regular sales and usually at least one pair will be the USA model. I expect some shoes to 'come home' in the next year as a positive fall out from the dollar/euro/looney exchange rate issue.

Read the Danner parent company web page for info (you have to read a bit between the lines on the investor page). That's Lacrosse by the way. Only one USA facotry left (the Danner factory in Oregon).

USA models are either the $200+ or the $300+ versions. Sorry, can't remember, as I bought the Cabelas Outfitter boot (love the soles and leather -- should have gotten the 600 gram versus 200 gram).
