Nice looking, but smell like an oil slick
597167
Bought 2 pairs.  The shoes are exactly what was stated and look nice, however, they give off an unbelievably strong petroleum smell.  The smell is so strong you can taste it, and, at the event I attended, I hope that other attendees weren't wondering where the smell was coming from.  Will not be returning, but have put them outside to give them time to give off as much of the smell as possible.

While I do like the feeling it gives on the skin, it's still no match for the oil slick that is my nose.  Perhaps I need a super industrial setting spray to go with this as well.

The average oily skinned person should do very well with it, thought.

These are absolutely beautiful, but stink like crazy. We were excited to see how nice they look and planned to use them in a wedding bouquet, but they smell like gasoline. We have left them outside in our garage for two weeks hoping they will air out, but they still smell much too strong for the bride to hold.

The positives:  They're cheap, they look good

The negatives:  They're sized two sizes too large.  I normally wear a 10, I ordered a 9 and still have an easy 3/4 inch of space in the toe, even with added insoles and thick socks!  There is also a very strong odor to them.  I have soaked them in the tub, washed them in the shower, left them outside for two days straight and there is STILL a powerful scent to them.

Additionally, I doubt the accuracy of the description that these are leather.  In the product image shown, it is clearly leather, but mine look and feel much more like some type of rubber.  I am not positive, but IF it's leather, it is a type I have never encountered before.

These shoes were cheap, I get that.  But they actually look nice and fit well and I have a hard time finding boots.  However, there is an off-gassing or something that is so strong and overpowering I cannot wear the shoes, or have them in my house without getting ill.  The smell is so strong it lingers on my hard wood floors after the shoes have sat for a minute, and there seems to be no end in sight.  The odor is so strong I will probably end up throwing these away.  Next time I will spend an extra $150 and get some wearable boots.

There seems to be a smell of oil, and I mean the motor oil or WD40 type. Next time I go for Lodge cast iron. I am afraid to cook in it.

they look cool, no doubt about that, but They have a very pungent smell, of what you may ask? OIL. It reeks of oil, I was forced to wash mine no more than 5 times before I could use it. huge waste of water if you ask me but hey its all good.

Nice top, but smells very strong strong like a petroleum product.  Washed several times and its fading, but still there.  Couldn't wear it right out of the bag.  It gave me a headache.

I really like the look and feel, but it has been almost 2 months and the smell will just not go away. My entire interior stinks, and my hands smell gross when I get out of my truck. I will be honest, after writing this review, I am researching to find something else. I cannot stand it anymore!!!

Wanted to like these as the price is right and my daughter gave them a thumbs up.  But the smell of petroleum in the rubber of the elastic parts of these bras is just too strong.

I've decided to go organic for undies on my kids... based on the smell of these.

Nice looking - variety of colors, sturdy, decent quality...but they STINK. They smell like a combination of fish and heavy perfume...like someone tried to get rid of the fish smell. We put them outside in the rain, and let them air dry - fish stink. We put them in a delicates bag and ran them through the washing machine -  fish stink. The one thing I am thankful for is that we did open them prior to my daughter's wedding day, as we were going to be leaving them at the reception hall for the decorators. We used pinecones instead.

Nice fit, but with a very strong chemical odor.

This case looks really nice, and fits my Kindle like a glove.

There are two negative points, however, one big and one small. The small point is that this thing smells strongly of petroleum. Very strongly. As in it reeks like the inside of a tire factory. I consider this a small point, however, because the odor does fade over time.

The big negative point is that the design of the cover makes it difficult to use the bottom aspect of the five-way controller. The bottom edge of the cover snugs up very close to the bottom edge of the controller, and effectively blocks access to the bottom button.

Here is the problem with these shoes:  they look great, they feel great, but they SMELL terrible.  Right out of the box, they smell like petrochemicals or formaldehyde, I don't know which.  I have not worn them yet, for fear of poisoning my feet.  They have been airing out in my garage for over a week now.  I am hoping to wear them soon, but I don't understand why they have such a noxious smell.  I am keeping them for the time being, but I am surprised that a product that looks this good can smell this strongly, and badly.

My son loved them.  Great looking for the price, but as other reviewer's have said the smell is intense. I tried to leave them outside for a few days, gave them three baths with dish soap, and they still could be smelled just by walking through the room they were in. It sent me into a migraine while I was down looking at his characters with him, sounds dramatic but seriously. It was awful. The chemical stench has slowly faded, over the past two months.  Makes me a bit nervous that he is playing with them, and inhaling that though. :/

Really like the price, look and color of the shoe but there is a VERY strong petroleum/gas smell from the pleather/leather or plastic/rubber soles - I cant tell which.  So strong that I'm not sure I can wear them.  I'm trying some tricks I read online to reduce the odor - hopefully it will help!
