Just got mine in the mail a couple days ago after purchasing these for ONLY 99$ and they look like the real deal. Says they're Made in Mexico and I researched and asked around and Steve madden boots are actually made in Mexico as well and China and a few other places. I've worn them already about 5 times out and the only complaint is they hurt my pinky toes while walking long distances but I guess i'm still trying to break them in. I get lots of compliments on these, great buy! So worth the money <3 <3 <3
