These shoes were made in Mexico. They arrived promptly. I took them out of the box and put them on and have been wearing them everywhere since I got them including a couple of two mile hikes. For me they are extremely comfortable. I am a big fan of these shoes. As in the past I must note that if you are walking in litter, sand, or similar material you will get some in your shoe and need to get it out and this can be an issue for diabetics who may not notice the trash in a timely manner.
