... The smell of the shoe sole. The shoe is really great, fits like a glove and has a very high wearing comfort. The workmanship is as usual very good. The only thing that bothers is the smell of the shoe sole at the time of unpacking. Since GEOX could still come up with something let (aired?). Conclusion: I can only recommend any shoe, even if the shoe initially smells something unpleasant. Since I have slightly wider feet, the shoe is recommended above all these people.
