I wish shoe manufacturers would put the production date on shoe boxes. I have 2 pair of discontinued shoes waiting in the queue, but I'd like to eventually rotate in the older pair first...no way of knowing which shoe was sitting in a warehouse or stockroom longer, unfortunately.

I just got a letter back from Nike about a pair of shoes I want to return and they said that the date of production is on the tongue of the shoe. I'm not sure but I would assume other companies would probably do the same.

Did you find the date? My guess is that all companies have a "batch" number or the like on there shoes, where if they had that number they could tell you when it was manufactured. I doubt that they have a date listed like 07072007 (July 7th, 2007).
