For me it is not a question - the Crocs look good and wear well. So I would like to keep. However, an intense, unpleasant smell was even after several days of "fresh air ventilation" still made, an unpleasant manifested itself especially in confined areas. So I have the Crocs - certainly with regret - returned. There are now many copies Crocs and colors and are made in many countries worldwide. Considering the many insbeondere reads the negative failed, reviews, one can notice that there very often "the smell" is criticized, mostly at Crocs, which were made in China. Even my Crocs came from China. An Accident? Since the first purchase attempt was not successful and I can use Crocs well, I still ventured two more attempts - even were the Crocs "made in Italy", the second time again "made in China". To make it short: I have to keep the manufactured in Italy Crocs which made in China I have sent back. Why? These Crocs smelled intensively and again the smell was not gone even after several days. Two points for the good and speedy settlement through Amazon.
