Still yawning and rubbing my eyes this a.m. - pre-coffee and orange juice - I bought a pair of Jack Purcell, dirty white, plain as a pikestaff for £15 post-free.  Sold by an end-of-life hospice in South Lancashire.  Having a wife still recovering from chemo after breast cancer I like to buy books, CDs, DVDs from charities like this whenever I can.  I wouldn't swear that these are 'Made In The USA', though.  Maybe a replacement for my very beaten-up old Sperry.

I'm guessing these will be Made In China.  Pair I had years ago (used but still expensive) had 'Made In The USA' on the heel.  I don't think these do.  Some on Ebay claiming to be American made fetch several hundred pounds.  Not sure I would necessarily have gone for these if the sale hadn't been for charity.

^ Muji - excellent RG. So comfortable with proper insoles, no frills styling and they last well. I like to have a couple of pairs on the go to choose from, one that look respectable and one beaten up, grubby pair. I like them so much that I’m one step away from stopping people in the street to tell them about Muji sneakers.

As predicted: Chinese-made.  But, yes, they do look pretty well made.  I seem to remember the USA-made pair costing me a fair amount about ten years ago - and they were secondhand.  Came from the US, though.
