BRUNT Workwear launched the USA Marin Welted, its first work boot built in the USA, on September 23, 2024, National Fisherman reported.
Key facts
- The boot is assembled in San Antonio, Texas.
- It uses domestic and global components, including waterproof leather from USA cattle.
- BRUNT’s other boots are made in Cambodia, Bangladesh and China, Footwear News reported.
- It has Goodyear welt construction and a slip-, oil- and heat-resistant outsole rated to 572°F.
“Since BRUNT’s launch, we’ve aimed to offer U.S.-made products. The USA Marin Welted is our first step, with more boots to come next year.”
Eric Girouard, BRUNT founder and CEO
Labeling note
Because the boot mixes USA and imported parts, a qualified claim such as “assembled in USA” or “made in USA with domestic and imported materials” fits FTC rules better than an unqualified Made in USA label.
