Outsourcing Shoe Manufacturing

The website of Beautifeel shoes, remind me of the days when I was gaga over Reebok. It is supposed to be a western brand that even sponsored the US Olympic basketball team. But close scrutiny of the actual products revealed that many pairs were actually made in South Korea. I was also told that there were also pairs coming out of the Bataan Export Processing Zone. I had no idea if the Bataan part was real but the fact remains that having the manufacturing outsourced to other countries can be good for as long as one does not overdo it.

I agree that outsourcing can be good for as long as one does not overdo it, but most people seeing the apparent benefits of outsourcing forget this aspect.
