ECCO Women's Soft 7 Sneaker, White, 4-4.5 (Open Box)

I have eight pairs of the Ecco Soft 7 that I've collected over the years, starting in 2013. When they're perfect, they're perfect immediately, no break in time. When they're bad for some reason, they're really bad and I end up returning them. I think there is actually ONE pair of size 8-8.5 Rose Dust that keeps going back and forth. I've ordered that shoe THREE TIMES over the past year, and once again today I received a pair that I think I was sent before. It's clearly not new but the bad part is the horrible chemical odor in the shoes, the kind of smell that makes your eyes water. I didn't even bother trying them on this time. I knew from the smell that it was never going to come out. So I boxed them up ASAP and returned them. Sad, because that Rose Dust color is the final one I want for my collection. The Soft 7 are the only shoes I wear, and except for this they're great. HINT: A few years ago I had the same problem with a white pair. If you're thinking of buying the Soft 7 for the first time, go with a Nubuck version. I've not had the chemical smell problem with the Nubucks.
