The Tip is 'Email for list' I had always purchased a foreign made tennis shoe. However, after reading the Big Secret I changed. One day I needed a new pair and wondered if there were any tennis shoes Made In USA. I found a major brand that made theirs in the US. They do not make all of their shoes here but several options were available that have the Made In USA label. I looked around for awhile on the internet and could not find any reference that would help me find where to buy them. I then visited there website and emailed for a list of their Made In USA tennis shoes. A short time later I had a list. With the list in hand visited my local retailer. They carried the model I was interested in and now I have some Made In USA tennis shoes. They fit better than my foreign brand and I feel better wearing them.

Scott Hall, founder of DayStar, had been in the manufacturing business since college as a co-op student working with Oxford Industries. His career quickly led him to work with VF as an engineer for Lee Jeans. Mr. Hall advanced through the company and eventually managed one of the largest sewing plants for Lee Jeans in the United States. After having much success in the apparel world, Scott created his own company. DayStar began as a uniform company selling polo shirts and aprons direct to the public. By 1999, many uniform companies had found DayStar and requested for the company to convert to a supplier and sell through distributors only. DayStar concurred and in 1999 DayStar started selling exclusively through Uniform Distributors. DayStar's facilities are currently located in Jasper, GA at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. DayStar began in 1998 with two people operating out of 500 square feet to currently employing over 50 people operating out of 28,000 square feet. The company has consistently experienced double digit growth, continuing to show the need for high quality apparel in the United States. |
