3 words: Made in China

By Mungrel Ranked #29 - Men's Backpacking Boots August 19, 2008

I have owned four pairs of these in my life. The earliest two were made in Italy. The last two--China. There is a noticeable difference between the two that were made in Italy, and the two that were made in China. The ones made in Italy, I will re-sole and wear as long as I possibly can. The two from China will sit on my shoe-shelf and gather dust. What does this mean? Well, I will probably never buy another pair of Sundowners--too bad since they were my all-time favorite boot. I'll stick with the brands that care more for quality, than cheaper mass-reproduction.
