Don't know if anyone who's purchased these boots has noticed, but they have a funky smell. I took them off at my mother in law's house and began to complain of a funky odor (not knowing it was coming from my boots).. smelled of fish and/or vinager. My brother in law points to my feet and my feet don't smell so I take a whiff of the inside of the boot and there's the funky smell. I know they're not real leather, but must they smell of fish and vinager. It's pretty gross.
