The shoes are ok.
I am a little disappointing because the so call "leather" is actually some material (i don't think it's leather) colored with brown color.
Beneath the color it looks like pink, so in case that the shoe will get some scratch i will need to paint it over and over again so no one will see i have pink shoes.
i guess this is the type of the leather or something like that.
i came across this problem with other shoes i once bought (not Steve Madden).
but on total they looks fine and comfortable. i guess i will use them for several months until they will be erode.
