These shoes are cute and comfortable but they smell very strongly like chemicals. I've had them outside when possible and in open air for days. The smell is just slightly decreased, still too strong to wear them.
The only negative I have about this shoe is the elastic on the back part of the strap right by my arch. I know they put the elastic in to give it some stretch, but the shoe would have been perfect without the elastic. I have worn mine everywhere this summer and they still look like new. I usually have trouble wearing anything but sneakers, but this shoe is fabulously comfortable. I bought a second pair plus the white and black ones too!
