mkeeeThe leather is from Italy, but the leather goes to the Riders (the couple with the last name Rider that makes these shoes) in the US. Then they ship the made shoes to Massdrop to be distributed to us. That is why it takes 3 months for us to receive the shoes as the Rider couple makes it themselves.
SobesBebopAs far as I know, all Rider Boot Co. shoes are actually made in Italy. At the very least every pair I own are. The reason they have to go to the US from Massdrop is for the group buy to be parted out. Maze is just a manufacturer, not a distributor.
