I've been debating on these Steve Madden Wicked wedges for awhile now. I loved how funky they were but wasn't sure if i wanted to spend this much on such a different shoe. I finally decided to bite the bullet and get these after Amazon had them for about half the price of every place I checked. I received these very quickly and I absolutely LOVE them! They are so cute in person and very lightweight as well (I was worried these were going to be a clunky shoe). The platform and wedge on these make the shoe very comfortable and easy to walk in. The calf hair is very well done. As far as sizing, I was debating between my usual size 6 and going down a half size because according to reviews (on various sites) these tend to run large. I decided to stick with the 6 and I'm glad I did. My foot is slightly wide so it fit perfectly. I think if your foot is on the narrow side, you might be fine sizing down but if you're average to a bit wide (like I am), stick with your usual size. The right shoe did rub a bit in back but I had been on my feet all day when I tried these on. I think if I wear these at the beginning of the day and break them in a bit, they should be fine. These are great if you're looking for something kind of different to add to your shoe wardrobe. These are very trendy now but I think they'll stay in style for awhile given that leopard and booties seem to pop up almost every fall. Highly recommend!
