New Balance footwear deserves an “attaboy.” It seems that U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud would like the U.S. military to wear U.S.-made footwear and New Balance to manufacture that footwear.

I would ask the military to read the label. I have yet to find New Balance footwear made in the U.S. I have purchased New Balance in stores, online and at a factory outlet and all were made in China.

Maybe the Chinese are walking around in New Balance sneakers with labels that read “Made in the USA.”
