2008
Find out with our new pamphlet. Only $5.00. Why are almost all running shoes or all shoes for that matter made in China? Cost right?
Just Running Times and Runners World...not really running mags anyway....just fluff and filler for shoe ads. Try Marathon and Beyond instead, it's more like a book than a magazine. Another decent one is Trail Runner...and non-Rodale.
Labour rates in China are minute fraction of what they are in the western world. Nearly non-existant safety and environmental regulations as well.
