Product Reviews :: Real US made basketball shoes? You've got to be kidding! My faithful pair of basketball shoes was wearing just a little thin so I reluctantly decided arrived to replace them. Being concerned about what outsourcing has been doing to the US economy I resolved that I would replace my old Reeboks (which are made in Korea) with a pair of real and 100% genuine "Made in USA" basketball shoes. During the task I wanted to be out with the clutches from the scammers and spammers have been selling fake replica shoes. First I went online and looked at the dazzling array of beautiful new court shoes available, but there is no indication of where these has been made so off I went to Google. There I soon found out that all of big brand shoes such as Big N? ( you realize who I mean the king of shoes which made over the billion dollars profit recently) were made overseas, that this labor practices of their overseas plants was less than desirable, and that the foreign operations of the number of U.S. shoe companies made a lot being desired. From there I decided to attempt the Mall and looked at the labels of all of the brand name basketball shoes - "Made in VietNam", "Made in Korea", Made in China", "Made in Thailand", "Made in "Indonesia" and "Made in Brazil". Not a single pair "Made in USA". This didn't seem to help much so I turned towards the hovering clerk and asked if she had any Made in USA shoes. That question appeared to bewilder her, so I asked clerks in other stores and those who were not stunned from this question informed me that there was clearly no such thing being an American made basketball shoe, with the possible exception of Chuck Taylors. I was soon to learn that even manufacture of these stalwarts was moved overseas when Nike bought out Converse in 2003. I went back home perplexed along with a bit disappointed but resolved to travel straight to the horse?s mouth, so I started calling the organization headquarters of some of the major US shoe manufacturers to get the real story. Nike explained that they were still manufacturing in Indonesia "and other countries in this region", understanding that "it wasn't economically possible manufacture inside United States". This is exactly the same company that created a profit well over $450 million within the third quarter of 2007 alone? The nice lady at L.A. Gear seemed a lttle bit surprised when I asked if their shoes were produced in USA but explained that their shoes were made in Brazil as well as some countries in Asia. Being nothing or even stubborn, I kept the telephone warm and called Reebok but all I was told was that "All of our shoes are made somewhere outside in the United States". When I told this lady that I was worried about shoes being created in deplorable conditions overseas she sent me a pleasant brochure which assured me that their shoes were manufactured under circumstances "appropriate in light of national practices and conditions". Several calls later I found these countries were China, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, as well as the Philippines. Sigh! K-Swiss shoes would only claim that they manufactured "offshore" however when I called New Balance I was told that 70% of their shoes are stated in the United States, with the remaining 30% produced in Europe and Asia. Sadly none of these shoes seemed to fit my tastes. Somewhat discouraged I sat down and contemplated it for somewhat. How much should it matter I wondered? How easily do principles give way for the need for better ankle support, brand loyalty, fashion and better pricing? What's pretty much everything flap about foreign made replica shoes? Are every one of the shoes sold online fakes being that they are all made overseas? How can I tell if an online shoe site is selling fake replicas or the genuine real thing? Does it really matter as long as the shoes are great? What exactly can be a fake and what is real or genuine? So I decided to join everyone else and went back on the web and found a nice couple of basketball shoes coming from a company called kicksbay.com. They probably were not made in USA though the price was right, these comfortable shoes were delivered by the due date, are put well and seem to be just as good as my old Reeboks at basketball. Their customer support was helpful and I probably will buy from them the next occasion, regardless of whether I wish I could find a set of Made in USA basketball shoes. And now I am creating a hard rethink about every one of the fuss the large manufactures are earning over "fake or replica" shoes. Is a pair of shoes that came out from the same factory that produces Nikes or Addidas? shoes just as good as the "genuine genuine thing" or include the high prices we're paying just to support the billion dollar profits a few of these companies decide to make? It is food for thought and maybe more articles. |
