I don’t know about that.
My Brooks Ghost running shoes are made in Vietnam.
Who just agreed to drop US import tariffs.
My Timberland hiking boots are made in Cambodia.
Who also agreed to drop their import tariffs.
So, I don’t think the production of two shoe companies is going to come back to the USA.

FYI, I have no idea if Brooks ever made shoes here.
I only like buying Timberland boots because it is based out of North Hampton, NH. My neighbor used to work for them.

Try Thorogood. Great boots that are made here and have been for well over a hundred years. They cost a little more but work every penny. I just bought a new pair about a week ago. Infinity FD Series 8” Waterproof Composite Toe Work Boots. I love em.

Thorogood Footwear Reaffirms American Manufacturing Commitment as Tariffs Disrupt Footwear Industry

As President Trump’s new tariffs on imported footwear shake the industry, Thorogood Footwear remains steadfast in its commitment to American manufacturing, providing stability to consumers, businesses, and industries that rely on high-quality, U.S.-made work boots.

While many competitors scramble to offset rising costs and adjust supply chains, Thorogood's long-standing dedication to domestic production ensures pricing stability, product availability, and continued support for American jobs. "The majority of our business is not affected by the tariffs because we are a USA manufacturer," said Jeff Burns, President of Thorogood Footwear. "We have been committed to American made products since 1892."

While other footwear brands scramble to figure out which country to move their production to next, it’s not an issue for Thorogood. We’re proud to say we never gave up on Made in USA. These tariffs highlight why keeping jobs in America matters—our customers and partners can trust us to deliver quality footwear without the uncertainties of overseas manufacturing. “Tariffs are a fluid situation that we are constantly monitoring," said, Burns.
