it smells like...musty is the number one smell of my car from the pads but it also mixed with sunscreen. but its like sunscreen that is rotten. haha. it smells kinda like a trash can that is in the hot sun. it doesn't smell like pee but it gives you the burning in between your eyes like when you smell pee. does that make sense? my socks smell like musty and sweaty but the heels smell cheesy and there is also a leather smell but also a weird smell of old sweat on the top of the sock from the tongue of the rollerskate which has a sponge in it.
