"I really wanted to like these boots, despite the negative reviews. However it's really hard to like a pair of boots that come out of the box DIRTY. The second I pulled these shoes out of the box - well, they looked like they had been worn a few times before! Besides the obvious stretch marks, there were yellow stains by the buckle and dark stains near the bottom of the shoe. I tried removing them but they clearly don't come off easily. They also had a pungent smell, already smelling like sweaty feet. Last time I buy rainboots from this website, disgusting."
