This shoe is really a pleasant surprise. I'm not normally a fan of Steve Madden shoes but these were so cute I had to try them and I'm thrilled that I did. I purchased them in the green suede - these shoes are DRENCHED in color. They're a rich, vibrant shade of green - the photo really doesn't do them justice at all. I was also not expecting them to be comfortable based on my past experience with Steve Madden shoes, but surprisingly they were. Now, realistically speaking they are 4" heels with no platform, so gel pads couldn't hurt, especially if you plan to wear them for long periods of time, but the leather (suede) was soft and conformed to my foot immediately. The pointed toe and the bow detail is what really sold me - these are modern, vintage and on trend all at once and are also true to size. I love them so much that after I received them I purchased the coral pair and am seriously considering the nude patent leather. My overall analysis? Get them before they're gone...you won't be disappointed....
