[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 298241, member: 4485"] Unfortunately I used to recommend Olivers (the lace up no metal ones) for this reason but recently discovered that they are now made in China. Barring a handful of styles they are all made there now. I didn't believe it but Oliver confirmed to me that it's correct & on checking the label on the tongue of my boots it does indeed say made in China. Oliver is now owned by a multi national group (Honeywell since 2012) so I guess it was bound to happen. No longer Australian owned & manufacturing going offshore. It's a familiar scenario. On the up side I still reckon they are top boots, very comfortable & still lasting well. When Oliver contacted me about the manufacturing in China they were adamant that quality control was a big part of their process there. That would appear to be correct. [/QUOTE]
