comfort - not...on the comfort/smell/sweat aspects:<br /><br />comfort - not so much, but it's an issue of my own making. So desperate was I to buy mine that I bought a UK 6. I'm not a UK 6, I'm a UK 5. To compensate, I've put some padding of sorts, especially in the toes - so they don't fall off my feet. It's not ideal, but I love them so much I do not care. My next pair will be a UK 5 - and I think they will be fine. <br /><br />Also, I'm a user of Bodyglide, so anything that is frictional becomes a non-issue when I apply it. <br /><br />Smell - not really. The tutti-fruitti scent that they come with is pretty distinct. Not offensive, not conflictive. I keep them in their box, so my whole closet doesn't smell like Westwood. <br /><br />Sweat - the footbed of the shoe seems to deal with sweat on its own, so it has not been an issue. <br /><br />Price - I was actually pleased to see that they were relatively inexpensive. For a designer like Westwood I figured I'd be Louboutin'd out on price. I was pleasantly surprised. <br /><br />I figure shoes are like Marmite, you love 'em or hate 'em. if you don't like 'em, I won't be able to convince you otherwise, and there will be no changing your mind. If you love 'em, like I do, you will make it work.the Dread Pirate Rackhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758895507726373202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410706398872836052.post-82812902371389636182009-10-01T15:39:40.519-06:002009-10-01T15:39:40.519-06:00I want to see Wendy's shoes!!!

All points well taken. I think Pirate needs to weight in on the comfort/sweat/stink aspect, though, because I've never even tried these on.<br /><br />Ah, yes, Wendy, how we suffer so for our "art."

I can already feel the slime on the bottom of my hot, sweaty feet! <br /><br /> As for the scent: I hate when they put flower smells in toilet bowls and this is much the same to me. Putting a sickly fruit smell over the smell of feet cuz your feet are sweating so much in the plastic shoes? Ah, no.<br /><br />More snarkiness: I can see instead of these shoes getting dirty, they'll get scrapes on the side or pieces will break off! haha!<br /><br />And finally, I've had surgery on my feet and have scar tissue so I can already feel the unweilding plastic cutting rght into my poor feet.<br /><br />Are they comfy?
