text: The old version of these shoes were made in China and were very comfortable and seemed to be of better quality.  They wouldn't last forever, and the soles were a little slippery on wet surfaces, but they were comfortable, stylish shoes for a good price.  The new version is made in India.  It is rigid and unforgiving, and appears to be much lower quality.  I tried them on and decided to return them immediately.  Don't waste your time.
