I ordered three pair of Yellow Box shoes and this is the only pair that wasn't OK.  The workmanship appeared sub-par, the sizing was smaller and the shoes smelled like tires.  On the inside edge of the shoes, there was a clear seam and on one shoe it appeared to have even been glued more than once.  That shoe also had a lump in the side of the heel.  Frankly, I wonder if this pair was a knock-off.  I was disappointed to have to return them because the decorative part of the shoe was really beautiful.  I love Yellow Box shoes, just not this pair.
