I received two emails from Sheplers a couple of weeks ago. They offered to send a return shipping label, which I did not take advantage of because of all the horror stories I read about trying to return something to them, plus the cost of return shipping.

They also said that they would remove the "Proudly made in the U.S.A." from their description of that particular product, which they have not, as of yet, done. I don't want anything from them.

To my surprise, they posted a review that said the boots were imports. It's done as far as I'm concerned.

On 12/10/2018 I ordered a pair of boots for my granddaughter for Christmas. I had researched brands on the internet to find a boot that was made in the U.S., since that is important to me.

I discovered that Abilene boots are American made and affordably priced, two things that are not mutually exclusive. I went to Sheplers website and selected the brand I was interested in. The selections popped up and I picked out a pair I thought she might like,they were a floral design. They were listed as Rawhide by Abilene, and I assumed that the slightly cheaper price than the other Abilene boots was due to the composition sole.

Most boot companies have an entry level line. Lucchese, for example has the 1883, a little less expensive but still a Lucchese. When the boots arrived the color was much darker than expected. You couldn't see the design as well as in the pictures, but they looked pretty good.

The artificial sole looked dangerously hard and inflexible also. Looking inside the boot, past the cheap foam rubber lining, I searched for a made in U.S.A. label. Anything made in America will have a label stating that.

I thought that the country of origin had to be on products. There was no label, however, may wife pointed out that the side of the box said made in India. After more belated research I found out that Rawhide by Abilene did not mean made by Abilene but rather imported and distributed by Abilene.

This is to me, misrepresentation, and I put the blame not on Abilene but on Sheplers. They should value their customers enough to tell the whole truth in their product descriptions.

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Preferred solution: truthful advertising.

Sheplers Cons: Lied in the text of their product.

Location: Longview, Texas

Was going to order a pair of boots but after reading all the negative reviews I'd be crazy to do so. Thank you to all that shared their experience with this company and their products.

Sorry y'all had to go thru what this company did to you. Shameful.
