In the last year we have gone from 18 entries to over 1,000 and the site has become the most trusted report on the net for this information. However, as with the sneakers, it is increasingly difficult to find American made products because of misleading language and concealed information.

Tennis shoes are a perfect example of what we face. Parents wanting to buy their kids the popular item are paying hundreds of dollars for a couple of dollars in material, and a few cents in labor to have the hot name in shoes. Stupidity and poor values are now status symbols. Its not just about buying American, just don't buy Chinese made goods. Once everyone commits to this we may just get some of our industry back.

Apparently certain chemicals are used in the manufacture of these shoes that burn skin. I'll happily pay more for shoes that don't sear my feet.
