I also strongly doubt your anecdotal evidence regarding shoes. They are all made overseas, from the same materials in the same factories.

From the outlets I have been to, clearance center and outlet have become interchangeable, but who knows.
But yeah, google will support my claims that companies actually use a different product line in their outlets and substitute their high quality retail versions with inferior versions. It is as simple as that. I know for a fact what I buy I am aware is not the same and can line up products that should be the same and there are differences.
Perhaps not all companies do this, but it is only a matter of time. Among many other companies, even Coach does this, which is really 'high end'. I doubt any company is above this if Coach does it as well.
