I just received these boots today. I ordered the premium ice. They are a little darker than the picture but I am still Inlove. They DO NOT smell bad. They actually smell good like new shoes. I am giving them 4 stars because they do not smell, the shipping was excellent it took the standard 5 business days, nothing wrong with the image of the shoes, and they look and feel great! I am usually a 7 1/2 but I got an 8 and I'm so happy I did so I recommend going a 1/2 size up. Yes they feel like cheaper material than ones you would buy at a local mall but common guys you get what you pay for. They'll definitely hold up in the fall and winter if taken care off. So far so good just haven't got to wear them yet until fall!
