After paying so much for these, I wasn't expecting to get a shoe " made in china". Yes that is where they are made, I even checked with Teva. Be careful also with sizing. I ordered the 9 as that is what I take. They are an extremely tight fit but am sure the 9 1/2 is too big. Another reason I rarely order shoes online, you cannot try them on first. Otherwise they seem to be built pretty good and have a nice thick tread on the bottoms for good grip.
