I purchased a pair of Palm Beach sandals on June 12 2008, @ the hush puppies store in San Marcos Texas. I tried the display sandle on & loved it, when I got home that evening I removed the shoes out of the box to try them on & to my horror both shoes sides & bottoms were sticky-wet -the shoe color rubbing off & the stench was unbearable, the white tissue paper they were wrapped in was literally stuck to the sands...I tried alchol, windex, etc. etc. to remove paper & sticky substance from the shoes to no avail...I am so disappointed for I've been a customer of hush puppies for about 40 years, not only myself but my children & grandchildren. I would appreciate a 1-800 # for hush puppies to file a complaint with them. Very disappointed in Texas (E.G.M.)
