American made shoes and American made boots for men and for women are of high quality materials and excellent craftsmanship. But American shoe manufacturers are disappearing. The American made golf shoe, the Classic produced by Foot Joy in Brockton, will no longer be manufactured in this plant. The plant closing was announced on Feb. 27, 2009. The company has been making shoes in Brockton for 150 years but gradually outsourcing. Despite efforts to maintain the factory, the decision had to be made to close the plant, a loss of jobs for Brockton, felt keenly by residents and workers, many of whom had great grandparents working for Foot Joy. Still, there are a few left. American made men's shoes, sneakers,sandals, and slippers are all produced with high quality American craftsmanship and high quality materials. American made boots and shoes come from family owned companies producing their shoes with pride managing to compete with the difficult playing field caused by out sourcing. Some interesting information from government publications: In
2007, according to government statistics, it is estimated that there
were 2,120 people employed in making footwear, shoes, boots, leather sandals, etc. in this country with an
annual mean wage of $22,510. Our New Year's Resolution-Find more American made products in this category. Can you help us? Please Contact
