We’ve had many inquires about American made boots for women. I admit, they are difficult to find, but I’ve done the searching for you, so you can easily shop for made in USA boots.
Don't miss our list of American made boots for men and our Ultimate Source List for American made shoes.
Cold Weather Boots: Steger Mukluks
Steger Mukluks are manufactued in Ely, Minnesota. These cold weather boots are made in the Northern Cree Indian style so they are light AND warm. They have a flexible moosehide outer, durable treaded rubber soles, and wool felt liners and insoles.
Steger Mukluks are so warm and comfortable that they have been worn in Alaska on the Iditarod Race Trail, and on expeditions to the North Pole and South Pole. You can buy them in regular or wide, depending on the width of your foot. I have a large calf and typically cannot wear boots that go over my calf; I can wear these though. They are really warm and comfortable!

If we missed your favorite women's boot brand that is American made, let us know in the comments. This list is frequently updated.

- Chippewa 17″ Vipercloth™ Snake Boot are designed to guard against snake bites, but they also withstand various weather conditions. While they are sold in men's sizes, they are made as small as a men's size 6, so any female with a size 7 and up, could wear them too. Note: Most Chippewa boots are made in USA, but not all.

OUR FAVORITE RETAILERS THAT OFFER MADE IN USA SHOES
American made Accessories for Boots
If you're looking for boot liners to make your shoes extra warm for the coldest months, Golden Touch Naturals offers Alpaca Felted shoe inserts. While other brands offer liners, I particularly like Golden Touch Natural shoe liners because alpaca is moisture-wicking, oder resistant, and durable. To make your American made shoes even more comfy, try American-made soft gel foot cushions from Body and Sole Comfort!

Hi, there is at least one company left out, Chippewa Boots originally out of Wisconsin. They make excellent Made in the US outdoor leather boots including hunting, work, emergency service personnel, hiking footwear just to name a few categories. Also Justin Boots, the leader US made western footwear and boots.
Thank you.

I love the design of the boots in the photos! So modern and colorful. I do need a good pair especially after last winter.
Talking about USA boots, didn’t u forget about Palladium’s waterproof boots? ( http://www.palladiumboots.com/women) I like their design and I have a pair of them. These boots are perfect for winter
I just adore those TwoAlity Boots. I like the Raspberry color. The idea is so cool looking!
I read on another site that “If every American spent an extra $3.33 on U.S.-made products, it would create almost 10,000 new jobs.” If that is true, it is a reason to buy American in and of itself. Do you think taht statistic can be right?
All of these boot companies seem terrific to buy from. I do like the boots in the photos, the colors are great!
I am glad more American Companies are making boots, so many countries use child and slave labor practice.
I’ve heard of a couple these well known companies, but I’m excited to have this list so I can check out all of them, as I would be looking for boots and want them made in USA!
Caution with Danner Boots: They also make their boots in China and the market is full of them. They do not feel anything like the American made Danner boot.
The ‘Red Wing Shoes‘ company has been making BOOTS in Red Wing, Mn for over 100 years.
“Frye” makes good quality, fashionable, leather boots in USA as well. They are sold in Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdales, maybe Macy’s and other stores for sure too.
I had no idea that UGG was making boots in this country now. There are some really nice looking boots here.
I love mukluks and have a pair- and yes they are USA made. I also believe Minnetonka makes boots and they are in Minnesota. There are quite a few boot makers still in the USA some are quite small and do wonderful work.
Ellen, be ure to check your labels when looking at Minnetonka boots. They look like they might be made in USA, but every pair I have ever picked up has not been American made. The Steger Mukluks are a good alternative. I’m thinking about a pair myself!
can you tell me who makes the mens mukluk in the picture?
I second that you missed Red Wing Shoes. A couple years ago they started making beautiful USA made Heritage boots for women.
LL Bean are some of the best — indestructable!
White’s Boots in Spokane, WA are made in the USA. My husband had a pair custom made from there and has worn them for years.
I love this list!!! Thank you so much 🙂
