Then I saw this article and began to suspect, but on
puma slides further research it seems the Made in UK' shoes are indeed made here in a factory in cumbria, in this video you can clearly see them in various stages making the shoes. Most of the running shoe range as far as I can tell are fully made in UK' too, not just their higher end range.WOW. I recently started working at a "great American retailer" in the shoe department and tried to find a pair of shoes made in the U.S.A& . no luck! I would guess there are about 1000 different shoes and I have been checking every shoe I touch.
an

On the other hand, in the Fox interview, Mr. DeMartini pointed out that competitors such as Nike produce none of their shoes in the United States.

which addresses the ethical and regulatory aspects of what they post online.Anecdotal evidence, including our own experience when shopping for shoes and diligently checking the tags in New Balance and other brands of shoes leads us to the (admittedly unscientific) conclusion that for many years now, the majority of New Balance shoes have been labeled unconditionally as "Made In China". A small percentage state that they are "assembled" here, and we believe a very small number of their
high-end shoes carry an unconditional claim of "Made In USA".
