Crocs Bahia (at least the ones I ordered) are made in Italy, and it makes a big difference compared to other models of the brand. I am a regular brand, I have 3 pairs of Crocs 'classic', all made in Italy, which are great too, even if the soles after some time get damaged (the "spikes" s 'erode). I also have a model "Crocband" I do not recommend at all ... Nothing to see, ok the look is perhaps more pleasant, but the plastic is not the same quality, we sweat in it and they feel very soon (the others not at all). Note that they are made in Bosnia. Avoid. I finally have a thicket model made in China. Not bad, but far less comfortable, more to avoid barefoot, otherwise smell of infection ensured .... In short nothing beats the classic models and bahia.
