I purchased these shoes from a local vendor. They are exceedingly comfortable for both casual and exercise wear. They offer great support, and are the first exercise shoes I've purchased in years that don't leave blisters on my feet. I took them to work to wear for lunch time walks, and around the same time began to notice a smell that made me think someone had discarded rotten food in the area. Then I thought one of my co-workers must have developed horrible body odor. After a week or so, I took a trip wearing the shoes during my flight. The smell followed, so of course I thought I had developed body odor! But, after unpacking and leaving the shoes in the hotel closet for a couple days, the closet began to take on the same odor. I was able to track the smell back to the soles (not the insoles) of these shoes. The smell is a horrible gassy/chemical smell. I found the same complaint not only with other NB models, but other manufacturer's shoes. Other reviews mentioned it might be due to the shoes getting wet, or the adhesive, and/or a certain type of foam used. In any case, they smell too bad to keep in the house. So, I keep them on the patio, and put them on only when walking outdoors. They're too comfortable to toss, or they would be gone. Unfortunately, it seems as if the smell didn't fully develop until I'd owned the shoes for several weeks.
And no, it's not my feet causing the shoes to smell. And yes, I actually made my spouse to a sniff test, comparing my old, well-worn sneakers to these. It's the new shoes.
