I read a lot of negative reviews and have to say this is one I believe has gotten bad press because of user error.

-Size: a lot of folks complained about sizing being off. I am a US size 8, and ordered the appropriate size (you can google UK to US sizes and see what exactly the conversions are, lots of charts and tables to help you out!) and they fit marvelously. I actually have about half an inch of wiggle room from toe to heel, but that's no biggie at all. I wouldn't even bother going down a half size on my next order (because I will be ordering another pair in another pattern, I'm that pleased with fit and pattern).

-Smell? Um, no, they don't smell. I don't know what people thought they were smelling, but mine are fine. They are rubberized wellies, and they smell like... well nothing but rubberized wellies.

-Shipping. A little slow, but I am in the US, so I suppose that it would take a little longer. In any case, it was about two weeks and they arrived, in great condition (no smell, right size, etc).

Double check your sizes, try them on when they arrive, and the seller even sent a little insert saying I could return it if not pleased. I am, and will be buying another pair when I can muster up the money.
