I don't know about that (sounds illegal) but does anyone recall the story about Usa Japan? Couldn't find a site/source. IIRC in the 50s when "cheap junk" from Japan began flooding in, someone got the idea to brand things with "Made in USA" but it was made in Usa Japan. Not sure if this is apocryphal or not. YMMV
My late husband had heard that, too.
I'd read about Guam and the Marianas being bases for "Made in USA" sweatshops back in the 1970s.
Two very good brands of boots made in the USA are Justin and Lucchese. Not all of them, but I buy them in person and check the labels. Great boots that last forever.
