I’ve never bought a pair, based on the advice from this sub I believe.

IIRC they started outsourcing so they’re not 100% US made anymore and QC has declined along with modifications to their warranty/repair system.

You can read a lot of mixed reviews by searching this sub for Red Wings, and a couple more over at /r/goodyearwelt (although they tend to discuss the US-made Heritage line mostly). Every old-timer seems to swear by them though.
