I fell in love with these shoes, ordered them and was so excited to get them BUT... I opened the box and was hit what the most horrendous odor!!!  The smell like they have been soaking in gasoline or oil of something in that odor family. I wore these to work thinking the smell would go away but by the middle of the day I had to take them off because the smell was giving me a headache. I do not recommend these shoes at all!!
