The best thing about the shoe is the look. Delivery time was, as stated, with approximately 17 days rather long. The goods were a number sent larger and therefore fit perfectly. I can confirm the unpleasant smell, the air out, even after 5 days in the open air was not really less. This is actually the only thing that really bothered. The riveting bands are made of very thin material, but so far it has held. In my copy of the imitation leather on the right heel was not glued properly. It looks and smells just that they are chinaware ... is indeed also in the description - therefore you should adjust its expectations. BUT, the shoes are absolutely comfortable - also easy to wear all day and look for skinny jeans etc is just awesome! This makes the not quite optimal quality betting. One should also always consider the price ... I can certainly get better quality, but then at a different price. For me it was crucial that price, quality and appearance give an acceptable unit and this was certainly the case.
