"I received these shoes and was pretty disappointed because the left shoe seemed to be made a little more narrow than the right. It hurt my left foot pretty badly. Eventually I broke them in but unfortunately there is still the narrow factor on that left shoe. When I took them out of the box, they had a very odd smell like something burnt, and it still lingers on the shoes. Maybe I got a defective pair and I probably should have sent them back-next time, if it happens again, I will."
