I kept it because it's stylish and comfortable (although not by much, if you'd rather not wear socks then it's not that comfortable), but it has a strong smell of petrol. I left them out for a day and sprayed them with Febreeze to make them better but I'm shocked they came out this way. The person boxing them should have noticed! I also tried the same size in some of their other shoes and oddly they didn't fit as well as this one. They may want to standardize their sizing and quality control.
