I'm gramma linna's husband but couldn't edit out the name.  I purchased a pair of MW846 in black (made in China) and wore them for a couple weeks travelling in England and doing A LOT of walking.  They were wonderful beyond expectation.  Liked them so much I purchased this second pair in white.  They came with much tagging and literature touting made in the US.  This was not a plus.  They are as comfortable as the first pair but are also the squeekiest shoes I've ever worn.  I thought it might wear off after a while but it has stayed the same or gotten worse.  It's so annoying I just use them for yardwork now.  But they are comfortable.....
