I just wanted to mention some (of the very few) American shoe manufacturers import shoe components and assemble in US factories. A shoe's components could be up to 100% imported but assembled here, called "American Made" to circumvent taxes or as a marketing ploy. IIRC, New Balance imports very few parts of their sneakers and adds more American made product plus labor to complete them. They are considered one of the "most" American Made. Disclaimer: When I wear sneakers, I only wear New Balance.
Lobbyists probably wrote the law that does not require specific country of origin labeling and handed it to their elected UniParty comrades, so instead we get this kind of ambiguous label bullshit.
