Our readers asked, so we did the research and compiled this list of made in the USA Men's boots. Surprisingly, we found so many American made boot brands that we broke them up into multiple categories. Save this list so that when you need to purchase men's work boots, winter boots, hiking boots, or men's fashion boots, you can save time on searching.
Why Purchase Men's Boots Made in USA?
American made men's boots on average cost more than boots made overseas, so why bother searching for them? We have discovered through our research that many made in USA boot companies have warranties. Their boots are made to last! Also, some of the brands offer custom boots for hard to find sizes and specialty styles.
Please remember, many companies we list do not make all of their footwear in the USA. We tried to link to the ones that are, but read the descriptions carefully. Also, some of the companies assemble their boots in the USA. As always, we support any effort a company makes to keep jobs here in the USA and try to give our readers as much information as possible.
If you are looking for women's boots, most of the companies listed below also offer women's sizes. You can also check our list of Made in USA Boots for Women.

Nicks Handmade Boots is another company that is still handmade in the U.S.A. (Spokane, WA). We have been making boots from start to finish since 1964.
The pair of of boots that are in the picture- what brand are those? I can’t find them anywhere!
Appreciate the information 🙂
That is a stock image, but they are very similar to several of the brands in our work boots post- Carolina, Danner, Thorogood, Red Wing.
Hi, there are many Red Wing Boots made in USA as well. Just pricey.
Unfortunately, the majority on this list are either A) Made in sweat shops overseas or, B) Assembled in the USA form materials sourced from sweat shops overseas. One company that actually builds clothing and boots in the USA, from material sourced in the USA is Origin Maine.

Unfortunately, Allegient Boots in Mountain City is or has closed it’s doors, having lost one of the two local owners. They’re selling out existing stock. On a good note, Crescent Sock Factory in Niota Tennessee is still making and shipping socks, most of which are made locally under several brand names. You can purchase from the walk in store or the website. “World’s Softest Socks” at https://www.crescentsockco.com/.
You forgot Allen Edmonds based out of Port Washington, WI. They have been handcrafting American made boots since 1922. Many of their styles are dressier (non work) boots, but quality made none the less.
I believe Alden shoes and boots are made in the USA as well.
Thanks for the list, wish the Wolverines were offered in 11 EEE. Appreciate you putting this together.
Love the Chelsea boots from Capps. Tres chic!
I dont see parkhurst boots made in Batavia ny by the artisan boot co
Thank you! I added them to our list. 🙂
Sirs,
I notice that your list of US made work boots does not include Footwear Industries of Tennessee (FIT).
We are located in Jefferson City, Tennessee.
We make work boots and we provide Americans with something they haven’t had for many years.
Quality work boots, made in America, at affordable prices.
We do it all in Tennessee: from cutting leather, stitching uppers, injecting outsoles to packing finished boots.
Please check our web site at http://www.fit-usa.com
Thank you! Added FIT to the list!
how match?
The rocky site led me to believe that they are made in the U.S.A. This is not true. A message from their customer service is pasted below.
“I do apologize, but we do not suggest applying anything to the boots to change the color. Once something is applied to the boots, it does void our warranty. Our boots can be made in any of our five factories in China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with, and have a great day!”
Hitchcock makes a couple of sturdy, U.S. made boots. Their best attribute is that they come in wide sizes, up to 6E widths, and they have an “oblique toe”, which is a bit wider than normal, more squared off, for people with ‘duck feet’, like mine. 🙂
All of the Wolverine boots I saw at Sears had the “Made in China” tag. Never buying Wolverine again!
As an “old” first responded … age 78 …( we never retire, we just call the youngsters to help if needed) … when seeing the Wolverine label “Made in China” on the work boots, pist is not the word… New “work” boots are requested as these do not keep soles on… However, “Made in China” just don’t cut it – even if free … where can American made “work” boots be seen and bought?????
Does anyone know anything about EVER Boots? Where are they located, and where do they make their boots?
Only one style of Red Wing oxford shoe is still USA-made. The other 12 are made in Cambodia, China, or Vietnam.
My husband is a first responder and he prefers to wear the Bates boots. He said they are the most comfortable boots and he can pick travel all day long without his feet hurting.
LL Bean really lives up to their promises — they replaced my husbands boots last winter. No questions asked!
Brooklyn Boot Company
LOVE LL Bean boots. They last forever!
Wesco boots are made in the USA.
i will not support the being made in usa company that uses imported materials, assembled here, or some that are made here others elsewhere.
we grow sheep for wool, livestock for leather, cotton for textiles. filson company comes to mind first .
but boots, i use white custom boost, Washington state. they cost more, but i get them fit to my feet, i get leather lined, type of heel etc
so many of the boots listed here are cheaply made and i have tried many of them
thanks.
So many people are tempted by the lower prices and “deals”, and disregard the importance of quality and durability when investing in a new pair of good hiking or work boots! Thank you for this list, I hope more people will choose American made boots, which are known for their higher quality and sturdiness.
Any time I set out to buy a new pair of shoes or work boots, I always first look for the options available which are made in the USA. Not only am I a patriot, but I am a firm believer that American quality is unbeatable, and I want only the best when I am out there shopping for new boots and shoes! Thanks for this nice complete list!
I had no idea there were so many. I really like the Yuketen moccasin inspired boots.
White’s in Spokane has been making boots in the USA for over 150 years and in the NW almost 115 years. They make the Hathorn boots you mentioned but they are a significantly lesser boots than the top of the line White’s. White’s is a Northwest legend for logging and set the standard for wild land firefighter boots
Hi,
I’m looking for slippers, does anybody know of anywhere I can find a pair?
I left mine under your mother’s bed. You can borrow those 🙂
Finally! I can buy shoes made in USA!
Reading this and my favorite boots to wear ever arent on the list! Check out the landships from maelstrom.

Men like work boots made in the USA that have the best toe protection to keep their feet safe on job sites so always look for composite or steel toe, Steel toe is well known but composite toe boots are light and even stronger.
Would love to see Oak Street Bootmakers on this list.

AF makes American Made boots but they are fugly
My hubby needs new work boots so I need to look into some of these.
My husband has always made a point off buying American for boots. His feet depend on it since he used to work construction! I know he only made one exception and it was a special shoe when he broke both ankles. It is wort it to look for that USA label.
I know some men who could use quality boots like these!
I’d love to have some of these boots for my husband who works construction.
Ummm. Danner only makes some of their boots in the US.
The rest are made in either China or Vietnam.
You are correct, Mike. As we said at the top of the post, many of these companies make SOME but not ALL of their boots in the USA, so check the labels. We are guessing that you need just one pair of boots at a time, not all of the boots from an entire line, so when you go looking for that one pair, we hope this list points you in the right direction to find a pair that’s made in the USA!
This is an awesome list! I am currently needing to buy a new pair of work boots for my husband. He is really hard on his boots, so we have to get a couple pair a year. I will be looking on this list and choosing USA made boots.
I found a pair in sears last year by craftsman. They were $100 but I’ve worn them every working day since and they have no holes/rips yet. Fantastic!! Will definitely get another pair.
Thorogood American Heritage line is a really good boot. I have ordered twice from them and they hold up very well. I am a bridge inspector so I climb ,go through and under all types of terrain and their boots are still going strong. My first pair I ordered 4 years ago and they are still waterproof but the soles are wearing and so I replaced them with the exact boot. I am going to resole the first pair and use them for yard work. Make sure you look for the Made In USA tag on their site. Good luck!
I had no idea that Reebok has a line of made in the USA work boots; military boots, postal approved boots, and athletic work boots!
