Too stinky for first few months!
920205
UPDATE Sept 2016: It took several months, but the odors eventually did resolve. If you can wait it out, they are worth having because they are comfortable--assuming you find a good price. Upgraded from 1-star to 3-stars.

Purchased at local Sam's Club for a great price ($10 for 2 pillows). The pillows are extremely comfortable, although you can slightly feel the lumps of the individual gel sacs. But even after one month, the pillows still have an overbearing stench that has not abated. (We've been using one on the bed, and we left one in another room to just air out. Both still stink to high Heaven.) If you have a weak nose, or don't mind strong odors, these pillows are worth buying for the comfort. Otherwise, steer clear!

I bought this a few years ago. The first few months were ok. My cat used it. However it is difficult to clean and became more and more smelly until I couldn't stand it. I switched back to a regular litter box and my cat became happier and less smelly. I kept it in storage but the strong odor never went away. I just gave it to Salvation Army. My expensive mistake.

While these are cute,  after a few minutes out of the package they start to out gas BIG time.  Smells wore that the rubber tire section at Harbor something-or-other hardware store.  Washing them off and soaking them in fabric softener doesn't seem to help.  Right now I'm letting them bake on the patio table in the full summer sun and perhaps that will get them cured.  Over all they really stink!  Too bad, they are cute.

I'm putting Update #3 up here at the top because it's a cure for my big complaint: the smell! I ordered Mini Moso Natural Air Purifying Bags (on Amazon) to put inside the shoes and after just two nights the smell is barely there -- and I expect even that to go away with more nights using the bags. But I'm leaving the 3-star rating instead of 5 because Vionic made it necessary to buy another product to fix a built-in problem.

My earlier review:

I received these Vionics (the navy ones) today and love them. Perfect fit, comfy, nice-looking. I was worried the navy would look too much like black, but it doesn't. Next to my jeans, the blue color is obvious. Liked the shoes so much, I just put in an order for another pair -- this time the black/black.

When I first put on one of the shoes, I thought it didn't fit right -- took it off, intending to return the Vionics. But then I decided to give it another try, this time with both shoes on. I walked a little and the fit quickly became perfect. It was like those few steps caused the shoe to adjust to the shape of my feet. So, if at first, you think they don't fit, give them the walk test.

If I run into problems with the shoes in the future, I will update this review.

Update: Smelly! Wearing these shoes is great for comfort, but oh-my-goodness how they stink! And the stink would go straight to my socks. I'm not talking about a little smell; it's a BIG one. When I took them off, the odor even made my whole bedroom stink. I took out the insoles and replaced them with Powerstep full length orthotics (which I got on Amazon). Result: The arc support is still there, but the smell is gone. Vionic really should look into getting their insoles made of a different material.

Update #2: I spoke too soon. The Powerstep insoles I switched to didn't smell at first, but now they do. It took several wearings, but now it's baked in and also makes my socks stink. I don't know what is causing the materials to smell so bad, but I will put up with it because the shoes are so comfortable. However, this started out as a 5-star review and I'm now going to take it down to a 3-star review because of the smell. Vionic really needs to do something about this problem.

This machine performed wonderfully at first and I was very pleased. After about 3 months of use it developed a bad smell like a rotten potato smell. We use the machine daily to subsidize our refrigerator ice make that often cannot keep up with kids and family. The water we use is always filtered with a zero water and have never added water straight from the tap. I've tried cleaners, vinegar, and even cycled a 75% solution of bleach water which initially helped but did not do away with the rotten smell.

I have had the Diaper Champ in my son's room for 6 months and all of a sudden the room smells like dirty diapers all the time.  The smell is starting to linger down the hall.  I cleaned the diaper champ, let it air out over night and then sprayed it with lysol and it is still stinking up the room!

I believed the reviews of this product, and bought it when my baby was an infant.  It worked very well while I was still breastfeeding, but once we started solid food, the smell was pretty bad.  Each morning when we went into his room, the whole place smelled like diapers.  Still, I resisted the diaper genie, because I didn't want to spend the money on the refills.  However, by 10 months, we had enough, and finally bought a diaper genie.  What a difference!!  The only time smell escapes is when we empty it.  To me, it is worth the price of refills not to have to put up with the smell.  If it is not worth it to you, just buy a regular garbage can--it will work just as well as the "champ".

This thing worked decently at first, but after a while, it started to smell. For one thing, it's not possible to keep out all the smell. Even though the plastic pull-out piece shields the top part from what's stored below, it's not airtight. Eventually, the smell started to leak. Also, this is plastic, and plastic absorbs odors. You have to wash out the bottom compartment every so often.  For us, it was more trouble that it was worth, and given the price of the refills, we'll try something else.

P.S. Many years ago, we tried the Diaper Genie with our baby, and that was another thing that we soon abandoned. I think I'm done with poop genies for awhile...

Hi, I purchased this unit a few months ago for my baby room.  For the past two or three months, not long after I purchased the unit, I noticed a faint foul sour milk smell, which grew stronger by the day and now permeates the entire room.  This is directly contrary to what I wanted for my baby room which is a clean fresh room where my baby can breathe freely without any malodorous smell.  After much investigation, I found out that the smell is actually emanating from the air purifier unit itself.  Please help me resolve this problem or I will have to request a return of the unit.

I loved the idea of this diaper pail since you don't have to buy special bags and it's easy to use.  After only 2 days of using the Diaper Champ my daughter's room smelled terrible.  I wanted to give it a try since several people told me it was the best diaper pail out there.  2 months later and the smell is almost unbearable.  To the people saying to clean it:  I empty it 2x a week, clean it with antibacterial AND spray it with Lysol and Febreze.  I think the problem is the opening on the side.  There is an open space that you can see right inside the thing so the odor is coming straight out.  I don't recommend this product.

I was very happy with this pillow for about 6 months. I am a side sleeper and had neck pain and this was a great solution. However, the pillow eventually started to stink and the foam cannot be washed and I had to throw it away. It should come with a waterproof sweatproof case instead.

I have smelly feet, and usually I stink up my shoes within six months... I love these, but they started to stink up the first week I wore them. Heads up for whatever that information is worth.  Thank you for listening all.

I really liked it for about 2-3 months but suede insoles are not a good idea for summer months barefoot shoe wearing, they just started to stink a bit. I liked it for when I was pregnant because they are so flexible. If the insoles didn't stink,I'd gone it 5 stars

Still stinks after a few weeks..... I would recommend to buy this in the summer and leave it outside to let it air out.

It is comfortable, but the smell is annoying.

It blocks the smell best the earlier days mid-month to me I already start to smell it. Need to have extra scent blockers
