New US-made boot marks shift in manufacturing
Footwear manufacturer Wolverine has introduced the Workshop Wedge, the first in a planned series of boots to be produced in the United States as part of a renewed focus on domestic manufacturing. The company, which has operated in the work boot sector for over 140 years, said the move reflects a long-term strategy to bring more production back to the US.

The new model is being made in Texas and combines locally and internationally sourced materials. Wolverine’s existing 1000 Mile Collection is already produced in Arkansas, and additional US-made styles from other brands within the Wolverine World Wide Inc. portfolio are expected to follow in the coming years.

Mike Maloney, chief product officer for the company’s Work Group, said that consumer demand played a key role in shaping the decision. “American-built boots matter to our customers, particularly in the current economic environment,” he said, adding that securing the right US manufacturing capabilities was an important part of the process.
