When I pulled these out of the box, they reeked the PVC plastic smell so badly that I had to let them air out of awhile before I tried them on. After the smell was somewhat tolerable, I grabbed the shoes to put them on, and I noticed the left shoe was horribly scuffed and that the paint was coming off really bad, like it got attacked with scissors or something. Such a bummer! I ordered them for Halloween and I was just planning on wearing them for the night, but for that price I was annoyed all the whole thing and just sent them back. I will give 2 stars because they are really a fun, cute 60's shoe, minus the PVC smell and the terrible quality when you look up close.
