This article is a list of work boots made in the USA. As companies jockey for market position, many have decided to move productions overseas. This may reduce cost, but it often also reduces quality.
The good news is there are still boot companies who are committed to making at least some of their boots here in the USA. Although there are more than 30 work boots made in the USA, the list of USA work boots posted below is to highlight 30 of the most popular.

Please understand that the companies listed above don’t necessarily make all of their work boots in the USA. Many companies will pick certain styles to produce in the USA, and other styles to import.
Some companies (like Nick Boots, White’s Boots, and others) are committed to making all their boots in the USA.
Things to Consider About USA Work Boots
Price
Yes, the quality of USA made work boots is usually better than imported boots, but that is almost always reflected in price. USA made work boots won’t be cheap.
Now, the argument can be made that you save money in the long term due to the boots being of higher quality, but you’ll need to be aware of the price to make sure it fits your budget.
If you are simply wanting a pair of USA boots out of pride for your country, but don’t necessarily want to spend $500, you do have some cheaper options. Brands like Carolina, Thorogood, Carhartt, and others, provide their USA boots at more reasonable prices (not all the boots made by these companies are USA made).
USA Assembled Boots
Most, but not all, of the boots in the list above are made in the USA using global parts. That means the parts themselves that make the boot are imported from out of country, but the boot itself is assembled and finished here in the USA.
If you prefer your boot to be assembled in the USA using only American-made parts (instead of imported parts) this will almost always drive the price up even higher. Premium boot companies like Nicks Boots, White’s Boots, and Wesco Boots prioritize using only USA parts.
Custom USA Boots
Do you want USA work boots that are custom shaped to fit your feet? Brands like Nicks Boots, White’s Boots, and Wesco Boots will take custom measurements and make boots better shaped for your feet.
These are premium boot companies that make expensive boots that are built to last a long time. These premium boots are investments that can last a lot longer than cheaper stock boots.
