I bought these for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves them! People say they stink, but I can say the ones that I bought did not. They have a rubber smell to them if you really get up close to them. So unless you get on your hands and knees to smell them while someone is wearing them you won't even notice it. And if you do do that, chances are you have problems... My reason for not giving it a 5 star review is because they looked like they had been worn out of the box and returned. The bottoms were a little worn and they had what looked like dried water marks on them. We decided not to return them because she couldn't wait to wear them. If shes happy then I'm happy with them. Overall great looking rain boot.
