I too buy the best quality I can afford. A few thing I do buy I make sure are US or Canada or made in the EU, the reason is I find that cloths and shoe just fit me better then made in the in Asia. I usely pay more for those produce but my cloths fit better last longer and my feet dont hurt. I am not sure why this is maybe due to the fact norther europe ansistory and having someone of a symilar body style makeing this object is the reason or not but seem to me it might be the answer. I just bought a new pair of boots and had to do an internet search to find want companys and what model were still made here but it was worth it.
