This is insanely smart....comfortable and practical. Canada has been a country of origin dropping some amazing products for MD and we're glad...."Oh Can a Da".....keep up these drops.

rayce444Except Canada isn't the country of origin here? There just designed in Canada. Also I've never worn this particular pair, but all may past experiences with natives shoes halive been purely negative, there poorly made sweatshop shoes that coast entirely off of copying(poorly) popular designs pushing their "peta approved" made entirely from petroleum construction.

Alee.GCountry of origin usually refers to the country where the company originated from, which would be Canada. Your bad experience with this brand doesn't represent the largely favourable review they've been receiving on most websites that sell their shoes. Your opinion of them copying other popular designs, is nonsensical. Most shoe companies have similar designs, there are not many truly unique companies when it comes to shoe design.

MasterMalare you seriou? I don't know who told you that but country of origin specifically designates the country that a product was produced in, not "where the company originated". And so what? Am I not allowed to give my opinion because it differs from the "largely favorable reviews?" All I can say is my personal experience with the fitsimons or what ever pair which fell apart comoletely in a matter of months. And again when I said copying the key word was poorly, I bought I pair from them that looked like it was designed to hike in, but was totally incapable of it.

Alee.GYes you are entitled to your opinion and yes I am being serious. Production was seen as the main way of associating a companies country of origin long time ago when companies did everything in the same country, but now with companies doing things globally it is not the case. If production was the main factor Apple's country of origin would be China and Uber would have no country of origin since they don't really manufacture anything.
Country of origin is now determined by many factors including production but usually associated with the original country the company registered under and where their main business growth and dealings are done, usually where their head office is located.

MasterMalhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_of_origin https://www.cbp.gov/trade/nafta/country-origin-marking I'm sorry but your wrong according to every source including the government, I have literally no idea what all this unsubstantiated drivel your spilling is but it has nothing to do with a products country of origin. Which is, legally, where a product is physically produced. Apple is a company not a product, any yes if you buy an Iphone the country of origin is china, uber offers no physical product so country of origin doesn't apply. You could have Easily looked this up instead of going on a wildly inaccurate rant on the subject. https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/492/~/requirements-for-country-of-origin-marking-on-goods-imported-into-the-u.s. http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/country-of-origin.html http://www.packaginglaw.com/special-focus/country-origin-marking-requirements again, every source, as well as U.S. law disagrees with you.

Alee.GI believe everyone (including the OP), apart from you, is referring to the country of origin of the company bringing these items to MD. Otherwise China would be the country of origin for most manufactured goods.
I think you're missing the OP's and MasterMal's point.

DanLeI think your missing the point that "country of origin" is a legal term referring to a products country of manufacture not "the country of origin of the company". I linked you to the CPB website, what more do you need. Also in regards to the OP I was writing under the assumption that he actually believed they where manufactured in Canada( I obviously could be wrong about this part) as the drop page makes no mention of where these are produced and only mentions Canada. And it's an important distinction because Canada is a country know for producing High quality clothing so designating Canada as a country of origin carries a lot of weight. *China IS the country of origin for most manufactured goods, I though that was common knowlegde.

Alee.GI see your point and definitely not disagreeing with it, I just don't think the conversation was started with the intent with the use of legal terms when saying "country of origin."

DanLeI suggest you reread Mastermal original comment then, he starts be incorrectly telling me what country of origin "usually" means. He fully responded with the intent to tell me I'm wrong, then provide inaccurate information the subjec, the proceeded to write a vaguely condescending rant against me that sounds like it was written by native shoes PR. furthermore if they didn't start the conversation with the intent of using the legal, and only use of the word then that implies they started the conversation with the intent of misusing the word. Country of origin has always referred to an items country of productio, any other use of the term is incorrect so it really does matter how anyone feels about its a simple matter of right and wrong. My general attitude through this discussion has been a result of MasterMals condesendingly innacurate first post.

DanLeI've provided not only my personal experience with this brand but actually articles pertinent to the topic of discussio, all youve done is argue with me about something that you can't back up, maybe the problem is that your to arrogant to admit being wrong? I'm sorry that you can't change the definition of terms to suit your feeling.

MasterMalare you going to provide anything of substance to this discussion? Or just continue to attack me personally? its seem you've run out of things to say so your trying to quote shakespeare to appear intelligent? the quote doesn't even apply as your the one who seems to be protesting the facts I've provided.
