I wanted to test the volume levels. It features a 6. ; ) The smell is probably from whatever chemicals are used to dye them. I think I can probably straighten it back out for use when my bike isnt heavily loaded, but I was disappointed with its performance, considering how sturdy it seemed. The Hasbeens size chart was accurate for me on these, I usually wear a size 7 1/2 - 8 and my toes were not over the edge. 2) Its almost impossible to use this with a case. If anything bad happens I guess Ill just update the review, but for now, they are awesome. Love this size 8 shoes 👠 confrontable to wear I recommend any one to buy this heels Contre toute attente, et malgré une politique éditoriale défavorable, le lecteur apprécie cette histoire réunissant les 3 séries dédiées à des superhéroïnes arborant le totem de laraignée. I get these type of outfits for my 96 Gma and she really likes this one.
