When I purchased these boots it did NOT SAY IMPORTED. These boots are MADE IN CHINA. I work in my boots. Had a pair 2 days, 2nd day sole peeled off from stubbing on side walk. I literally spoke to a rep for this company and told her I wanted a size smaller. Guess what... same size.
 This lady who answered the phone was in such a rush to get me off the phone I had to tell her to HANG ON A MINUTE YELLING because she was getting ready to hang up on me. I had questions about guarantee ( which is ONLY 30 days) from purchase and how long its going to take to replace the garbage boots.
AND NOW I have to PAY for returning them. This company is a rip-off.
I would point anyone who wants military "grade" boots to find a local military surplus store for quality and years of service. Wellco is NOT American Made!
