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. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Sittin Easy Located in Eagle Springs, NC, Sittin' Easy is the creation of Walter Harper who earned his master's degree in Industrial Arts and Product Design at N.C. State University. He taught Industrial Arts, and designed and made furniture for several companies before founding Sittin' Easy in 1978. While researching the furniture market, Harper noticed that there were no new porch swings on the market which met his criteria of comfort and durability. The comfort of his furniture is the result of dozens of trial and error designs before coming up with just the right curvature using flexible yet strong slats. The results revolutionized the porch swing market where many failed attempts have been made at duplicating such innovation. From the beginning, his research on durability took him to antique shops and museums where he found items lasting over 100 years in the weather were traditionally made of White Oak. Thus, from the onset, top grade kiln-dried White Oak has been the cornerstone of his company. While new pieces are added to the line occasionally, the basic quality, durability and style remain the same so that customers can add to their collection through the years. Owners Walter and his wife Kim market Sittin' Easy furniture through grass roots methods which include: the web, retail stores, craft shows, catalogs, and distributors world wide. |
