Pleasant side effects of the supply chain fiasco!

[fergenheimer]

I picked up a pair of work boots from the Red Wing store today. I got the same style I have used for years and just asked to be sure they were still made in Red Wing Minnesota and they are. The young lady then told me that because of the supply chain issue, they are selling many more American made shoes because of availability. They are not floating around in the Pacific Ocean like the imported ones are!

Another side effect I should mention is less nonessential buying for all of us More money saved in the pocket

How much higher was the price compared to what you normally pay?

@Jessie.slimer, it has been a couple of years since I bought my last pair but the price was not much higher if not at all. 11" Pecos boot for $280. The get you though for a $65 insole.
