Not all the models are made in Oregon anymore. Some models like the 400 Grand Slam (all leather version of the Pronghorn) I bought 2 years ago are made in China and I don't feel they are as good as the pronghorns. They squeek a bit and do leak a small amount. I use them only when I go to Colorado each year on elk hunts and they offer great traction and support. If I had to get another pair I would try Danner Canadians. They look super and have great looking treads.
