    Royers is a Canadian company and ONE in their lineup of work boots are made in Canada, though you’ll have to figure out which. People at the safety shoe store are happy to tell you they are all made in Canada even after you show them the tag on the tongue that says Vietnam.

    “Foam Creations” is the Canadian design company behind the first version of Crocs, which they made in Mexico and then sold to a bunch of investors who turned it into “Crocs”.

    Does that help you at all? Probably not, but I thought it was interesting. I don’t think they still make them, although they do list “Medical Crocs Sandals” on their website, it’s just a portfolio of past work and they don’t suggest anywhere you can actually buy any of those products.

    Today I think most Crocs are made in Vietnam, and Crocs the company that owns the design and IP is American (boo), so much for that. But they’re originally Canadian.
