Review on JAN JUL Dinoland Boys' Toddler Wellington Shoes - Optimized for Boots by Eric Avina

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible smell and sticky residue on the outside

Firstly, if it's natural rubber (I honestly doubt it) then there's something really toxic printed on it. The smell when I opened them (something like synthetic rubber but also something else) was overpowering and immediately gave me a severe headache (I don't have chemical sensitivities). I bought these because no one sells Timby anymore and I needed cheaper wellies for my daughter for school. I wanted something that was really non-toxic, durable and had handles. Unfortunately they don't fit. I've put them on our screened in porch to air out for well over a week. you still smell bad though not so bad anymore. The worst thing is that it was sticky and greasy on the outside. The design didn't come off, but it was like the boots were leaking some sort of grease. I tried wiping them down with both baby wipes and Cleanwell sanitizing wipes, but the sticky residue was still there. These shoes have good traction, they are attractive and my daughter's feet, a size 8 in shoes like the Kai or Pediped and almost a size 9 in cheaper shoes, fit perfectly with little room in the toe box. They don't stretch like other boots, which means they don't wear out as much. To be honest, these boots don't fit the bill in any way.
