Imported shoes have a 40% tariff. Yet, we are still importing 99.99% of shoes. When will shoe manufacturing move back to the US?

I dunno but if that revenue is preventing increases in income taxes then it is a good thing. Maybe a 100% tariffs on shoes is in order.

In general textiles and shoes are outliers. Most manufacturing is not that hands on.
