They arrived with a terrible smell, very strong smell of paint. I couldn't wear them anywhere even if they fit. I let them air out for a week but they still had a strong dye smell. Also, they were an inch and a half longer (part of the style, but some of them didn't stay on their feet). The seller kindly accepted them back and I bought another brand from them (Boston Nasello). The seller was Gabriel Shoes from New York and they had time to be nice to me even though Sandy had just struck.
