👟 Breathable Purple Boys' Toddler Sandals with Footbed Review

I am literally sending these shoes back even though my son has never worn them. Why? Because the SMELL is HUGE! These smell of chemicals as soon as you open the packaging. I thought about washing them to see if I could get rid of the smell, but then I thought, do I really want my son's feet in these shoes when they're so soaked with chemicals they smell so bad? So I'm sending them back. They're cute but totally worth the extra money for shoes that are non-toxic.

We bought these for my daughter to take to daycare so she can wear her own shoes. I will say that she already has wide feet so MIGHT have something to do with our problem. The upper straps were made of a rubbery material, but they didn't allow them to stretch over your foot. Also, the strap that goes around the back didn't stretch very much and didn't stretch all the way to the back of the shoe, even when we were able to fit her foot into the main body. We returned them.

I was going to return these shoes but life has turned out so I missed the return deadline. I bought them for a trip and when I opened the package they smelled really bad of chemicals, I didn't want to put them on my kid's feet and let them soak into their skin god knows what. Dried lumps of transparent glue were visible on the insole of one of the sandals, the workmanship was of poor quality and they were not taken on a trip. The shoes are by no means expensive, but there shouldn't be any glue…
