text: Ordered these shoes for my wife.  They were too big so we're returning them, but getting shoes that fit her well is hit or miss. The bigger issues:<br /><br />1. The footbed had bumps showing through from the nails used to fasten the platform. I could see that this could get uncomfortable quickly.<br /><br />2. There was a loose nail in the bag (from the manufacturer) that the shoes were wrapped in. Serious quality control issues here.<br /><br />3. Shoes were wrapped in bubble wrap. Didn't even come in a box! Slightly squashed heel, but that was easy to push out.<br /><br />4. As others mentioned, the smell is enough to give you a headache. I expect that it'd probably go away if you let them air out for a few days.
