The bottom of these shoes, the inside I mean, smelled so horribly like rubber tires that I couldn't put my feet into them.  I waited for the smell to abate but no luck.  After two weeks, I returned the shoes.  Too bad, they fit nicely, but I couldn't stand the smell,  Every time I put my feet in them to walk around, later on my feet smelled like rubber tires, gross.  Very pronounced odor.  Haven 't had this problem before with Saucony, I actually like their running shoes and usually purchase them for a good fit and comfort, so too bad.
