I also looked at
WalMart and found a similar pair made in, you guessed it, China. The cost of the Red Wings were $200 and the WalMart $53. It was obvoius that there was a quality difference between the two, but the cost difference made me think, for about 2 seconds. Sticking to what I have said on here about buying American, I bought the Red Wings and will have to make up the cost difference with other things I want.
