We bought four pairs of Giselle footed shoes in different sizes (grip and flexibility) because my daughter loves the polka dot design. The shoes get lots of compliments, feel comfortable and hold up well. However, the last two pairs we bought were from the Flex line, and both have a distinctive fetid chemical smell. When we received our first smelly pair last year, I complained and the company offered me a small discount off my next purchase. Unfortunately this year I decided to try the same pair again in a larger size and the new pair have the exact same smell. I've tried airing them out, wiping them down with a damp cloth, and even putting them away for a couple of weeks and that doesn't seem to help. I don't even like them in my daughter's closet because you can smell them as soon as you open her closet door. We've bought quite a few pedal shoes in the past and never noticed this smell. I will not buy another pair of Flex Giselle.
