Well, some of them at Yellow Jersey were made in Europe (Italy?  France?),
and I think the ones that fit me the best were Nike's (they had a different
problem, actually, the holes for the clip for clipless pedals fell right
under the ball of ones of my feet [and only one!])  So, maybe, the problem IS
the country of origin for the shoes-- esp. since "American" brands are also,
mostly, made in Shanghai, Taiwan, Japan, et al.  (Are the American companies
too cheap to send lasts for big, American feet over-seas?  Is it a 
CONSPIRACY?!  Is their a logical explaination why the Americas market can't
get decent shoes?  Enquiring minds want to know!!!  :-)
In the meanwhile, I guess I'll stick to the boots I've been getting at 
K-Mart.  (Their Northwest Territories stuff are pretty good deals.  Even
better than their discount racks!)  :-)
Anyway, I'm up entirely too late.  Couldn't sleep because my apartment got
all hot and stuffy while I was away at the 2nd run movies.  Good night.
