The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA.

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. |
