Like other Skechers sandals, these are cute, comfy and affordable. But wow, the chemical odor that accompanies these shoes is overwhelming. It actually made me nauseous. I got the white, and am wondering if it's paint or perhaps a cleaner used on returned shoes (my came from the Amazon Returns Center.) I've put them outside and am hoping the odor disappears, but if it's not gone in a couple of days, these will have to go back, sadly.
