@phillips I have had Stealth's for over a year and haven't had any problems with them apart from the fact that they take a bit of time to put on and If it releases, I have to take the boots off, re mount them on the ski and put it on again. The boots are holding up just fine and I don't use liners and they don't smell even slightly. I haven't even washed them or anything, just allow them to dry properly. I don't have the problem that @Horton has, I can get them off quite easily in the water so it must vary person to person. In saying that I do have slightly skinnier than normal feet
