I was so happy to buy these because the first pair of steve madden shoes were so gorgeous and really comfortable. I thought I couldn't go wrong! Whoa! I wore these about 2 hours and ouch! I was only in my office up and down from my desk to the printer or whatever and by the end of that 2 hours my toes were screaming! The straps fit nicely and the heel is wonderful but the material around the toes on the outer side of the foot seem to cut in. Still will buy steve madden but I will be more careful.
