Doubtful that West Marine will have the good ones.


Do you know if the hibux Sperrys are made in China? The ~$60 ones are.
(I'm wearing a pair right now.) Makes no diff to me, but Gene mentioned a
mild aversion to Chinese apparel in the OP.


I have no idea. (they are on the boat and I can't check 'em)

Probably though ... or Taiwan or South Korea. I think very few, if any,
shoes are still made in the USA.
According to this old article, Rockport orders its shoes from around the
globe, from Indonesia to Brazil.
