has the smell gotten better?

I haven't noticed any smell. I wear them in the water so much it seems unlikely an odor would persist.

They don't smell at all and they've been in the water 20 days out of the month.

To be honest, I never noticed a strong smell when I purchased them a few months ago. I definitely don't smell anything on them now.

well I never was too concerned about the rubbery smell. I use my fins almost every day and I really don't notice any smell... love the fins.. they give a really good leg workout!

Yes, the chlorine and salt combo has well and truly taken over now!! But they are still looking quite new even though I have swum many miles in them.

Diana, I have to tell you that I didn't notice any bad smell at all. They smelled a very little like rubber at first, but why wouldn't they. I don't notice anything at this point. There was nothing annoying in the smell as far as I was concerned. It could be that some people are much more sensitive to some smells than others, like those that really can't tolerate some perfumes, etc.. I hope this helps. I will also mention for others as well, that I thought the yellow color was kind of neat and not garish at all.

I do not notice any smell that is strong enough to bother me. My find are either on my feet in the water or in my swim bag in a closet.

The smell dies down. There is still a slight smell at close proximity after continued use.

We ordered one about two weeks ago, no overpowering smell at all, just smelled new, didn't take long for that to dissipate either.

No not at all, I barely noticed. I did take note of the reviews to watch when you first turn it on, it will clear itself out. But the smell was very faint

Mine has no smell now for sure and did not notice any when it came in... But I always wash new stuff anyway....

Hi, I unpacked my chair 6 weeks ago and now can detect a little bit of smell only and only if I really try to find it ;) My nose is average and at the time of unpacking I didn't really notice anything disturbing.

No, unfortunately not :( I will say that after months of daily use and handwashing, the smell has subsided to such a degree that I have to press my nose against the base to smell it.

Not at all. I stopped smelling it within a couple of weeks. We still love it!

My sense of smell has deteriorated, but no one has said anything about it after a perm. I think it is a good product.

It does have a smell, not overly powerful. The smell does not seem to linger.

I haven't noticed much of a smell and I am very sensitive to smells. There is a mild smell when you open in, but it doesn't linger on the body.

Yes, I posted this question as well and accidentally deleted it I think as I don't see it anymore and five others had said yes, about the same said no. It did for me, I've been running it outside for a few days and it's getting less and less. I'm hopeful to bring it inside again tomorrow. It was rough the first day as my whole house smelled like chemicals.

YES! OMG! I swear, I have had it for almost a year and it is the same still on a scortching hot day here in Florida, I still smell it. Granted it has drastically lost the smell, but it is still there on a hot hot day.

Have not noticed a change in smell and have ordered this product from Amazon for over 2 years now.

I have scent sensitivity. I can smell it, but it doesn't bother me. I plan to spend a bit more time rinsing next time, which may help.

Not very well. As do most of these products, the smell is better - but only temporarily. Have used products that work better than this one.
