The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

With over 100 years of footwear experience in our management alone, we at Allegiance Footwear, Inc. we are dedicated to providing the most dependable and affordable service with the highest available quality American craftsmanship the footwear industry has to offer. Our Mission God. Family. Country. Company History In October 1996, Mike Hensley realized that there was a tremendous need for a domestic source that could get these products back to first quality condition, expedite the repairs and return of these products to the distributor while ensuring a viable, economically sound, alternative to its customer. It was because of this need, and a desire to build a company around this need, that Hensley approached Mr. Hugh T. Wallace, who became a co-owner and equal partner in this endeavor. That is when World Class Footwear Repair Service, Inc. was founded. Since our inception, we have been providing services and performed repairs on hundreds of thousands of pairs of shoes, boots and leather products for dozens of clients. Due to Wallace's expertise in footwear manufacturing and Hensley's expertise in pattern engineering, in January of 2000 the company decided to diversify to include Component Manufacturing and Product Engineering Services. This expansion of services proved to be a successful move for World Class Footwear Repair Service, Inc. In the following 3 years, while continuing to excel in repair services our endeavors began to transition our main business more toward manufacturing services. In late 2003, we signed a 5 year ongoing manufacturing contract. Due to the size and length of the job we needed a larger workspace. In February 2004, Along with the move into a new building, over 4 times larger than our original location, to reflect our expanding service base a new name was created, Allegiance Footwear, Inc. In mid 2007, we began production on our very own line of boots. The Allegiance Footwear Factory Store and our online storefront AFboots.com launched in November 2007 with three different styles and several various colors, each complete with waterproof and insulated construction. |
