Khombu boots at Costco, $23.99

New Balance used to be made in a factory near Boston.

Then they realized it was bad for business paying an American worker 20/hr compared to a Chinese 4/day.

have had mine for a couple months. very comfortable. the only complaint is they don't breathe as well as more expensive boots. but for 25 bucks if they give me a couple years , that's OK.

Seriously is there anything you haven't directly done on this site?


Comical at this point.

The Costco boots that Jackburton posted look exactly like Academy Sport's Magellen store brand. I like them because they are cheap at $49 and waterproof, but the soles don't hold up well for everyday use.

The problem I see is, the sole will split and open around the flex point near the bottom of the balls of the foot, and any moisture on the ground will get the feet wet. The material they use just does not hold up.

My problem with shoes is that the heels wear out too fast. When they came out with air cushion soles the bottom of the soles wear out first. They used to use stronger materials that would last longer.

Duct tape will fix it
