Best Gifts Made in the USA for Dads Who Have Everything

Kicking off our list is the best of the best men’s dress shoe brand: Allen Edmonds, made in Wisconsin since 1922. These aren’t your mass-produced, everyone has a pair of these shoes. They’re timeless and last forever. The leather is meticulously selected to be of the highest quality. And, they’re comfortable. My dad owned several pairs of these shoes, and even though he was a construction superintendent, a blue-collar worker, he said these were the only shoes that fit him well. Sadly, Allen Edmonds makes only a select few of its shoes stateside now. Let’s support this company and at the same time ask them to keep their shoes American-made, Be sure to read the product descriptions for those four magic words: “Made in the USA" as not all of their shoes are American Made.
