VANELi Women's Kenda Ballet Flat

These shoes are cute. A bit stiff and not as comfortable as I hoped but will do for times I don't walk a lot. One thing I discovered recently is that they smell very bad. I've only worn them 2-3 times so not my feet. I noticed a month or so ago my closet smelled awful. I blamed it on my sweet dog because she sleeps in there at night. After cleaning closet carpet very thoroughly, the smell was still there. The other day I was putting up summer shoes and noticed the smell was coming from these shoes! Not sure why they smell but they are made mostly out of rubber/vinyl. I'll keep them and hope over winter months the smell dissipates.
