The first pair of shoes in 43/44, which does not fit, unfortunately, was made in Italy, the barely perceptible odor. The second pair in 45/46 ended up being made in China, the stench was disgusting, even before I had opened the package at all. The shoes of my friend in 38/39 but were against it again Made in Italy and ok. The experience from the other recession has therefore been confirmed, it is a gamble which shoes you get. I have this returned here.
