The site is www.theunionbootpro.com. I purchased boots from the bootpro, but now it's easier to find just the American made ones on their new site. By the way - your American List idea is great! I agree that lots of the American Made sites look pretty funky! Keep up the good work! PS - I live in Wausau, WI - only about 1/2 hour away from Merrill! Great to see our Wisconsin site on the web!

I'm still waiting to see some of these Weinbrenner styles produces in scaled down (but not overly "feminized") sizes for women.

Those American heritage look pretty good. If you came across this site on your own you wouldn't go digging around based on the appearance of the majority of the boots. Weinbrenner/Thorogood has some goodlooking workboots and workshoes and these styles I'm referring to I've only seen in Japan of course at Beams +. You can find photos of them on there blog if you go to previous posts. This is a great source to look into. Those American heritage look pretty good.
