4. That's because most shoes are made in China.
I buy shoes from Europe and Brazil because I refuse to buy ones made by children or slave labor in China. There are a few brands-Munro-comesz to mind-that are still made in the USA.

I don't begrudge a guy a nice pair of shoes; I just don't want to hear him and the MSM bemoaning Obama's expensive apparel or Edwards' haircuts.
