text: I bought these shoes for my son. He says they are comfortable, but we made the mistake of getting them wet. DO NOT GET THESE SHOES WET! You will not be able to be in the same room with someone wearing these shoes after they get wet. The stench will blow you away. We were driving home from our local water park this summer, and I thought there was something rotten in my van. I stopped the van and looked all around to see if a potato or piece of fruit had rolled out of a bag and rotted in my van. Then my son told me he thought it was his shoes. I thought, surely not! But it was his shoes, and they were rank!!! I dried them out really well, and even put them in the freezer to try to tame the beast but to no avail. These shoes are seriously like Gremlins...you cannot get them wet, or you will deal with something so foul that you will never be the same again!
