We just ordered some stuff from STP:

http://www.sierratradingpost.com/

All you women out there, they have all shoes at least 50% off, plus
an extra 20% off, plus free shipping for a %75+ order.

My wife got three pairs of really nice shoes, and a pair of cowgirl
boots for $101.xx

I don't own stock in the company.

I also got one of these for creek hiking:

They have guys shoes similarly on sale, but most guys aren't as
shoe happy as most gals :)

I seriously doubt that any self respecting women who are truly into
shoes would be caught dead in that trailer trash footwear. Made in
China/Mexico. They look like crap and they are crap... those are
the shoes hawked at flea markets. You can buy better here:

What a lucky guy to have such a low maintenence wife.

I checked the Blair site. Easy Street, SoftSpots and Clark's are
made in China - used to be made in the US and the UK. I won't
touch shoes made in China but the majority are, these days, so I
spend my time searching for non-Chinese. Whatever happened to US
shoe manufacturers?

Capitalism. It is more profitable to pay Chinese workers 35¢ an hour,
than pay Americans or Brits 50X that much.

I took a quick look at the STP site. Quite a few shoes are made in Italy or Europe, are of good leather and made better than their Chinese counterparts. Looks like a good website, Bryan - I'll enjoy looking at it more closely. Thanks.
Incidentally, I've purchased a couple of clothing items from Blair and have been very disappointed by the quality and fit.
