Review on New Balance Arishi Girls' Athletic Running Energy Shoes by Guled Hamilton

These sneakers smell like cat urine. We couldn't figure out why my son's bathroom smelled so bad. First the box was removed. Then we thought it was shoelaces. I washed the sneakers and now it seems the smell is coming from the tongue of the shoes. I don't know if it was from the fabric it was made of or if the cat actually peed on it. We used to have the same sneakers in a different color and there were no problems. It's terrible and now my son refuses to wear shoes. Please advise.
