These shoes are adorable and I LOVE Pediped brand shoes for my girls but the smell they emit is unbearable. They will literally stink up an entire room with their horrible chemical smell. I can't have my 7-month old baby breathing in fumes from these shoes. I'm so baffled because the Pedipeds she had prior that she grew out of never smelled and they are practically the same shoe just a different design. Back they go!
