This past year, all my Weinbrenner wading boots (with and without studs)
finally gave out, so I've been looking for new boots. Problem is, I'm
hearing from fly shop owners and others that many of the boot brands are now
made over-seas, and the quality has dropped.

In the bigger scheme of things, it seems that more and more fly fishing
items have been caught up in the whole out-sourcing over-seas make-it-cheap
craze. Even warranty policies are being weakened to compensate for the
increasing number of defects and returns in fly fishing products.

What the heck is happening? Are fly fishers representative of and
encouraging the out-sourcing make-it-cheap craze, or are fly fishers in a
position to push back.

At this point, I'm placing an online order for some US Made Weinbrenner's:
