Chippewa Snake Boots Not Being Made

[Txhuntr2]

that disappointing for the cost. I'll have to look and see who else has that same style. Pretty crappy they can't warranty them for you right now

They cant because they don't have any boots to give. That's why I wont buy another pair, even if they're in stock somewhere. Warranty is worthless on them.

Yup, if they're shipping mfg to China I wouldn't support them now.

I've been looking to grab the zippered moc toes too.

Question to you Danner owners, does anyone have the San Angelo slip on boot that looks similar to a chip? They're made in USA.

I just lucked out yesterday and bought a new pair for 10.47 at academy... how I got lucky I don’t know they we’re stacked at the very top where one could reach them but I found a ladder lol

Isn't it crazy? Eventually, automation will take over completely and there won't be anyone with the money to buy the products being sold.

Wait till Mumbling Joe bumps minimum wage up and watch automation really take a jump!

looks like I'm gonna have to run over to Fort Worth soon and grab some before they quality goes down. I've been meaning to grab a pair of zip moc toe for a while

That's what mine are. The leather where its stitched by the insole tore. Very little wear on these boots. Big disappointment.

FYI, those moc toe Chips are not USA Made to begin with. Only the original version is USA made. Not even the waterproof or safety toe versions or zip up... Been that way for a while. Could be that's why the quality ain't there on them. For instance, if you go on Amazon and look up Chippewa Snake boots, and look at any model/style, they all say American-made and imported... The only one still American-Made is the standard pull on round toe vibram sloe that's been around for literally a hunert years...

Dropped it off today to be fixed.

I'm as guilty as the next guy not caring for my boots, but as expensive as a quality pair has gotten, a little leather conditioner now and then probably wouldn't hurt. Not basing that thought on the picture you posted at all.

I don't think that is the case anymore based on my conversation today. The lady I spoke to never asked me which chips they were and I didn't disclose that info. She simply said "snakes" can't be made in the US anymore and that there was no inventory to give me even if I made a warranty claim. She said I should take them back to where I bought them and see if they had any inventory left to exchange.

Wait till Dementia Joe removes the current imposed tariff's on Europe and China creating a huge flood of steel, aluminum, cheap knock-offs, and Chinese goods into the US. American product manufacturing companies are in some serious trouble.

This is very true.

Beijing Biden is going to hurt a lot of American companies and ultimately the consumer.

You very well could be right! My point was that those moccasin style boots were not made in the USA to begin with. Chippewa has been pretty sneaky about that for years. Sounds like their one style now even will not be made in the USA...
Dang shame as I have worn Chips for many years. They just fit my feet right...
