I've purchased Deer Stags for a number of years because of the support the shoes provide as well as the quality of the products.  However, this pair was made in China, not the USA, and have a serious quality issue.  They were received on April 15th, not worn every day, and over the July 4th weekend the sole separated from the entire front of the right shoe.  With no other shoes on our trip, I found some aggressive adhesive and made an emergency repair...not what you would expect of a respected brand after less than three months.
