I bought these because they look less like a balloon than my beach Crocs.  I typically wear a 9 1/2 or 10, so bought 10's - they are *huge* - and they, too, are made in Vietnam - Crocs needs to get their act together on this variable quality - doesn't seem complicated to me; hence, only 3 stars.  Anyway, I re-ordered and am hoping the 9's won't be too small.
