text: I believe that I need to add this to my review.  Do not buy these.  I had to throw them out today becuause after 3 months, the horrible smell on them did not go away.  The faint smell never dissipated and they were stinking up my house with a gas-like chemical smell that I could not get rid of.  It is sad because if it were not for the smell, these would be an excellent buy.  I really like these shoes.  I like them enough to get over the gasoline-like smell that accompanies them.  I have washed them twice and sprayed them with febreeze but there is still a faint smell to the shoes.  I really wished that I knew what it was.  Are they imported from China in the bottom of a gasoline tanker ship?  Is the leather treated with fuel to make it shine?  Seriously, why do they smell so much?  Other than the issue with the smell, they are excellent and comfortable shoes that look great and feel good on my wide-ish feet.
