I was worried about ordering these because of the bad reviews...mostly because of the shoes having a bad odor. My son had 2 Proms to go to so we eneded up having to purchase a tuxedo at a famous Prom rental chain since it was cheaper than renting the tux twice but they wanted $60 for a new pair of tuxedo shoes and $40 for a used pair. I was determined to do better - thank you Amazon and thank you Zengara for selling great shoes at a great price! These arrived without the bad smell others mentioned - I guess we were lucky. The shoes ran true to size and were very comfortable. My son wore these twice and they still look brand new.
