Think you can't buy cute shoes that are Made in the USA? Not true! Sure, it's different and you have to search them out, but there are still companies in the US (and our friends to the north) that make beautiful, high-quality shoes.
First up:

Other companies manufacturing women's shoes in the US include Onex, Okabashi, Vivanz, and others. The one area that I see lacking in women's shoes is dressy heels and pumps. There are still many designers manufacturing in Italy too, such as Fratelli Rosetti, who has styles on Zappos that I love.
And I'm in love with these La Canadienne boots, made in Montreal:

I believe
Remix Vintage shoes are made in Spain, although their website is very hard to navigate. I'm just not 100% sure about every style...

Do you have any favorite American-made or quality import shoe stories to share? I'm always on the lookout for an alternative to outsourced manufacturing. Are these choices more expensive? Yes. I think it's worth it though!
haha. I wish I could afford Lucchese boots. Or Tony Lama's for that matter.

I love the Re-Mix shoes.
ReplyDeleteI want to change my whole lifestyle just so I can wear those Re-Mix shoes!
ReplyDeleteWow, there is some seriously lovely footwear being manufactured in the United States. If I lived there I would be supporting them too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree completely that it is worth the little bit extra you pay, to be supporting local industries employing local people, over cheaper imports. Kudos!
I have some USA made, very cute wedge sandals from a company called California Magdesians. I'm not wild about every style they produce, but they have a few winners and the pair I have is great quality.
