I was a little wary of buying shoes made in China but this one is extremely well made ... much better than I expected and better than other supposedly reputable shoe brands I've owned before.  I have really wide feet so getting a shoe that is TRULY extra wide was a blessing.  This shoe is durable, comfortable right out of the box, and constructed with really great materials.  Can't say enough good things about this shoe.  I love them and will buy another pair when, or if, it wears out.
