8 of the best boots for men made in the USA by Amir Ismael on Oct 30, 2017, 4:31 PM The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you’ll like.

Some of the most well-known footwear brands were founded in America, but as companies grow, they oftentimes outsource their product-making to foreign countries.
While larger overseas factories and lower employee wages allow brands to ramp up production (and profits), they lose their "Made in the USA" stamp and the premium quality associated with that. Nothing compares to the superior craftsmanship of American-made boots, so buying a pair is a great way to keep a single pair for years and years. In addition to the quality and finish, buying American-made products supports the economy. Compared to the entire footwear market, American-made boots are seemingly few and far between. With the right direction, however, you can find several great options to wear. Companies like Timberland, Thursday Boot Company, L.L.Bean, and more all make boots in the USA that you'll be proud to purchase and wear. If you're looking for high quality and rugged durability, boots that have been made in the USA are the way to go. Check out the best boots made in the USA, below: Thursday Boot Co. Vanguard Boot  The Thursday Boot Co. Vanguard is the best bang for your buck when it comes to USA-made boots. Priced at $249, it's the least expensive pair on this list, but you'd never be able to guess that from the quality. The upper is inspired by American service boots of the 1940s, and the outsoles come in leather or Vibram variations. The Grizzly Wheat pair in particular uses a full-grain leather upper, Horween leather interior liners, Goodyear welt construction, durable Kevlar laces, and a Vibram lug sole.
Huckberry x Original Chippewa 6-Inch Service Boot  Founded in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin in 1901, Chippewa boots have a long reputation for making tough and dependable footwear. The boots have been worn by all kinds of people, from explorers to pilots. This 6-inch service boot was done in collaboration with San Francisco's Huckberry and features a super soft full grain leather upper, crack-resistant Vibram soles, and Goodyear welt construction.
Timberland Made in USA 8-Inch Boot  As a big fan of Timberland boots, I've owned many different pairs over the years, but the Made in USA 8" Boots are by far the highest quality pair I've owned. Crafted entirely in the USA, the boots use Horween leather. The Chicago-based tannery puts major emphasis on premium leathers and century-old tanning methods, and the boots definitely reflect that. The Made in USA 8" Boots feature a rich burgundy leather upper, brown ankle collars, and black waxed laces. While the boot is modern, Timberland remembers its roots with the vintage-style oversized logo. Unfinished edges, rugged metal hardware, and Goodyear welt construction showcase just how well made the boots are. Horween leather paired with a durable Vibram sole make for boots that will literally last a lifetime.
