Yes, good thing for summer.  Very similar-looking ones cost $CDN 16 at MEC
store (used to be CDN 20, but MEC has recently lowered prices in $CDN since
$CDN is now more expensive):

Only one variety (no heel strap), and made in China.  Though, my NRS Shark
Attack Shoes are made there too.  Many tents and sleeping bags by very
respected brands are made in either Vietnam or China nowdays, as I can see.
