I was looking for Thorogood boots because they are union made in the USA. My Chinese made Bates similar to these just didn't last. When these Thorogoods came in they were marked made in China. They had a tag with 1-800-826-0002 on it. I called and they are a US company that makes boots in America. They also import some models such as these. To see which are US made and which aren't you have to go to their website at weinbrennerusa.com and check each model. I returned these (they look just like the Bates that wore out quick) and ordered 834-6874s. This wasn't Amazon's fault but they took them back no problem.
