Hi<br />If I were to order these again I'd go up a size.  I believe it is made in China as isn't everything.  I will be keeping these but they will have to go to the shoe repair to be stretched.  The arch support is excellent and the shoe is very pretty.  It is a little short for me which is why I need it stretched.<br />I don't think they are as comfortable as my slippers.  There doesn't seem to be a heel pocket as in the slippers.
