These are some of the most versatile sandals I own.

They're not the most supportive, so I wouldn't wear them for a long (5K+) walk, but they're great to pair with sundresses, jeans, or shorts.

I wanted this for errands and casual wear, and its perfect for that. Comfortable right out of the box, no blisters. However, its very flat with no real cushioning or support so not sure how comfortable it would be for a day of walking.

Quality you can feel, simplistic elegance

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020

Size: 6Color: Tan LeatherVerified Purchase

I love these sandals. I actually ordered a knock off brand that looks exactly the same...same cut, shape, style etc. to compare because I figured why pay more money if I can find the same shoe for 1/4 of the price. But, there was no comparison. These Steve Maddens are truly a great quality, real leather, and they go with everything. I can walk around in them all day without complaint. They are a very simple design, yet have an elegant look to them. As for the knock off, although they looked almost exact, you could feel the cheap pleather, and the flimsy buckle. Even the sole was like a cheap leather looking plastic type material. Needles to say, I kept the Steve Maddens and sent back the knock off look a likes.

Poor quality, started to fall apart s two weeks after purchase

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2022

Size: 10Color: Tan LeatherVerified Purchase

Edit: do NOT buy these shews. Truly a waste of money. The quality is so poor. These sandals were my go to for two years and I will never buy these ever again, unfortunately. The “leather” being used doesn’t stand a chance. Since I bought these no ore than two months ago, they have pretty much fallen apart. They are extremely uncomfortable. I’m so upset because Steve Madden has great quality stuff, but the shoes feel like plastic and fall apart on the inside. The leather started to peel on the inside within the first two weeks of wearing them, maybe twice a week. They’re so cute and do go with everything, but I will unfortunately never buy these again.
I first bought these shoes at Marshall’s in summer of 2018. Last summer my dogs ate them (lol) and have been looking for them since because I totally forgot what the name on the tag was. I was super excited once I found them and placed my order immediately. I got my usual size (10). They were uncomfortable near where the heel strap come out of since it’s literally inside of the shoe but I couldn’t complain too much. After about 3 days of wearing them, it doesn’t hurt as much but it’s still noticeable. I like them and I hope they get to be more comfortable. They def feel fresh out of the factory if you know what I mean lol.

Great shoes, hard to put on.

Size: 9Color: Tan LeatherVerified Purchase

Once you get them on, they're very comfortable and nice looking shoes. However, if you're the type that has to rush around in the morning, these are not the shoes for you. The buckle is odd and the holes are super small. I have been wearing them for about two weeks now and was hoping it would get easier but no luck so far.
