I know what you are saying I bought a pair of sandals from walmart Faded Glory and the leather caused me to have a have a reaction. For months this went on because I did not know what was happening and I finally was referred to a specialist and come to find out the chemicals that they used to turn the leather brown literally burt the top layer of both my feet it was a painful and horrible expierence for me they are now scarred like they have been burnt. I called walmart and they told me that there was nothing that they could do about it and I told them that I wanted only the Company Faded Glory to put a warning label on the brown leathered sandals about the chemicals that they do use because I am telling this happened to me and it was not a pleasant sight
