Patrick--
 
Thanks for spending some $$ while on your visit but I am afraid I must be  
the bearer of bad news.
The following quote comes from the Dexter Shoes website in the FAQ  
department:
 
"Why did Dexter stop making shoes in the United  States?
Offshore competition in the shoe industry started eating  away at the 
business of U.S. companies in the 1970s. Foreign companies began  selling leathers 
and finished shoes in the U.S. for less. As much as consumers  would like to 
support American manufacturers, most people will buy the products  that offer the 
best value for the price, regardless of where they're made.  Dexter held out 
against these pressures for decades, allowing much of our  workforce to retire 
on schedule. We developed offshore manufacturing facilities  that could 
maintain our high standards for quality. By moving manufacturing  abroad and 
retaining management and distribution functions in the U.S., we're  able to protect 
workers' pensions as we provide customers with extraordinary  value."

Eventually we were in Kamloops, Canada and wandered into a shoe store.  I
walked out with a pair of full leather shoes made in the US with  the
brand name of Dexter.
