I have a pair of hush puppy sandals that I bought about 3 months back at a sale at bata. the price was really good I picked it up for 2000 change. the first three days of wearing them they felt heavenly but on the fourth day I got this horrible smell from the sandals . I can assure you that nothing of this sort has happened when ive worn any other footwear, The sandals didnt breathe and caused leg odour . it was a horrible experience and I was with my friends and when I got into a car it just multiplied. I took off the sandal thinking the smell would dissipate but it just got worse. I couldnt believe that such a good brand would have such a big flaw. I got back home and washed them and wore them the next day and everything was seemingly alright but then towards the end of the day the stench came back. everytime I have to wash it before wearing it again. its gone to such an extent where I have to use a perfume on the sandals just to kill the smell. I was a big fan of HUSH puppies ive had not such problem in the past with their shoes but their sandals are horrible! I DEFINITE DO NOT BUY!
