dnlfrnbThey're made in China. What do you mean by 'sweatshop sneakers"? I would not assume these are the result of sweatshop labor just because of their origin, especially given the fact that there aren't many sneakers made in the States. What brands do you prefer?

IanAndersonI used to buy doc martins that where made in England. Once their shoes where made out of England I stopped buying because they where not nearly as good.

zmosherDoc Martens still makes boots in their factory in England. But they are a bit more expensive than the china made.

IanAndersonBy "sweatshop sneakers" I mean sneakers that are produced in sweatshops. A sweatshop according to The Merriam-Webster Dictionary is " a place where people work long hours for low pay in poor conditions". Sneakers have a bad reputation of often being produced in these conditions. My latest pairs of sneakers have been from Veja. "The factory where Veja trainers are made in South Brazil respects the standards of work established by the International Labour Organization. 80% of workers at the factory are unionized." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veja_Sneakers#Manufacturing
