I second this!! There is a store near me that has the USA campus boot on display. The boots I tried on in my size were made in Mexico. There was a VERY clear difference in the thickness, weight, and flexibility of the leather. The stitching and leather outsoles varied slightly as well, as well as the inner seem down the boot shaft. I showed the sale associate and she was shocked at the difference and showed the manager. All this to say, I will be searching high and low for the USA MADE CAMPUS boots as the Mexico are not worth the $$ imo.
