Sorry, but we have the same situation here on our side of the boarder. Want to buy a good boot for $99.00, dont expect it to be made in North America. Expect to buy a bottle of ketchup at Wal-mart for $1.39, don't expect the U.S plant to be open for much longer.
Sorry if I offend anybody or got off topic, but 'Pay less - Live Better' smile, smile ,smile. Will only lead to pay less, and watch your neighbor lose his job.
I paid $239 three years ago, or so, U.S, for an American made boot, on a lovely trip to Hamburg Pen, and was glad to do so, and still have them now.
My local Bass Pro has them now for $99. Doubt theyre made in the U.S anymore at that price (?) I really try to pay a fair price, though it may be higher, to provide a future for my kids and others. It hurts a bit, but the alternative - cheap, cheap cheap, will hurt more, eventually.
Sorry for the rant.
Don.
