"I love these shoes! They are so comfy. I have a high arch and comfortable shoes are hard for me to find. But these shoes have that horrible chemical smell that just won't go away. I bought my first pair in the store and didn't notice the smell until I opened the box at home. The smell permeated my closet and gave me a headache every time I walked into my closet. I returned them to the store and ordered another pair through the website. This pair doesn't smell quite as strong but still gives me a headache so these are being returned too."
