The sandals are comfortable and they look nice. However, they have a very pungent smell. I am not exactly sure how to describe it. It is almost as if these shoes were made of recycled garbage. I know that sounds crazy, but the odor is really strong. I had hoped that over time the odor would fade, but that has not been the case. In fact, I do not keep the shoes in the house because whatever room I put them in begins to smell like the shoes. I also will not wear them if I am going to be confined to one place such as in a baseball stadium or at a party. These sandals are fine for for running errands or doing yard work, but the smell really keeps me from using them very much. Overall, I would not recommend these shoes nor would I buy them again.
