alrighty, so I got this shoe and was happy. I wore it a few days at home indoors. It is a cuter shoe than the original type. It was comfy, but really only for my right foot. The left shoe had something else goin on inside. It was lumpier in a deformed way and caused pain. I kept thinking it would wear down, but after a week it didn't and my foot was sore even in other shoes for having to compensate for how it was, meaning after trying to walk with the lump in there. + you're right about the stankness factor.
