In continuing to focus on how Americans can buy American footwear from work boots and casuals to dress shoes and tennis shoes, I have recently become acquainted with an American company that has been making children's and women's sandals in America for 60 years!

Hoy Shoe Company is based in St. Louis, Missouri and makes all of their sandals with 100% American leather and components, and, of course, 100% American workers. You can visit their website at www.saltwater-sandals.com to find one of the many hundreds of stores near you that carries their fine collection of made-in-America merchandise.

Are you looking for an old-fashioned American-owned company making more than just shoes in America but handbags and other accessories as well? Then you'll be happy to become acquainted with SAS Shoemakers of San Antonio, Texas. What do I mean by old-fashioned? The owner does not take orders over the Internet. The company doesn't even have a website. The owner of SAS believes in the old-fashioned style of ordering from their catalog - which they will send to you for free. Give them a call at (210) 921-7415 or write to SAS Shoemakers at 1717 SAS Drive, San Antonio, Texas, 78224.

SAS makes sandals, walking shoes for men and women, oxfords and comfort casuals. All their leather handbags are made in USA as well.

So whether you are focused on footwear for the heads of the family or for the kids as they get ready to go back to school, order from Hoy Shoe Company or SAS for authentic, all-American made products and keep your money in America where it should be.

It's all about supporting American companies who employ American workers that pay taxes to America and make supplying the demands that "We, the People" have made on our country possible.
