Veitsch: Sometimes change is not for the better, and I write here especially because I was surprised and disappointed that this pair of Veitsch house shoes, my third, were made in China! My previous pairs, including one from earlier in the pandemic, listed only Made in Austria, and while the wool is identical, there are little details that feel more mass-produced and less nice in the stitching and assembly quality. They've also switched from a natural leather insole to some sort of foam, though still removable. Overall they are comfortable, warm, and I appreciate the flexibility of being able to go outside to collect a package or bring in the groceries without needing to change shoes, but I hope it's not a one-way street away from high-quality manufacture in reputable locations.
