Customer Reviews Steve Madden Irenee Sandal

The color is misrepresented in these images. This is more of a nude colored shoe - not this dark. It’s cute otherwise, but not overly comfortable. Very stiff material - maybe better if broken in?

The first shoe I ordered (8.5M) was the standard size. It was too tight, especially in width. An 8.5W was then ordered. It was too big. So finally an 8W was ordered and fit just right.

Love these shoes so much! Originally bought the nude leather ones, but decided to get a second pair in hot pink suede.

Beautiful shoes! The heel fit was good. The ankle strap was good. The toe strap was tight. I wear 8.5 and ordered 8.5. Had to return and ordered the 9. Very well made and beautiful nude color!

These don’t really do much for my high arch and long toes. Though I do say the strap across the width of my foot covers the toe cleavage in just the right spot. I found the ankle strap to be too restricting when I walk

I love the look of the shoe. It's very stylish and the length and width were true to size, however the leather heel cup is too high for me and the top of it digs into my legs when I walk. It's rare that I can find a stylish shoe in my size and wide width so it's disappointing that I can't wear them.

The rose suede is lovely and very true to the on-line color. The shoes are simple and cute. The listing said 2" heel and they're actually 2 1/4, which is a little higher than I wanted, but not worth a return. My biggest concern is with the ankle strap and clasp. First, the strap is very narrow and that can make a less-than-dainty ankle look larger. I should have thought about that before ordering, though. The only structural concern I have is that the clasp on the strap is squirrelly (clasp pin slides around and clasp is attached by a thin strip of elastic). Getting the clasp pin into the hole is difficult and the harder I have to pull, the more concerned I am the elastic will break. I guess $41 (including tax), was a relatively small online risk to take, but I'll still be bummed if the shoes don't hold up well.

This is a really fun shoe! The clear strap over the toes gives a spunky "bare foot" look to the outfit and was too casual for my occasion, so I am returning this pair, and keeping the nude strap. Love the shoe!

Just got them and think I will love them - haven’t worn yet but planned for a wedding. I got a wide as other similar styles I tried were too narrow in the footbed. I didn’t realize from the picture is how high up the back of my ankle they go. I think it will be ok but good to note. Also I have thick ankles - heredity! - the ankle strap is just fine so maybe manufacturer fixed that.

The material was too stiff around ankle strap in patent

I like the shoes - great style and perfect for the dresses I want to wear them with. only problem is my bunion - the strap is tight across my toes but I'm hoping it will stretch!

Great shoe, but the tag inside the shoe is awful! So irritating to my heal! Really, who puts a tag there?

If you have think feet and need arch support this may not be right for you. There wasn't much "holding" my foot in. The length was right for my size, but the small strap at the top and the ankle strap and lack of arch support made the entire middle part of my foot feel unstable/unsupported. Beautiful look though. Wish it worked out.

Nice color... if you have bunions, you need the wide... I wouldn't wear them for a whole day, but they are very nice when paired with dresses or pants

Cute shoe. Seems comfy for all day! Runs small!! Had to return 7 1/2 for an 8.

These are cute little shoes! They have the elegant and classy vibe I was going for. I’m so happy they came in wide widths and small sizes since I’m a true 5.5 wide. These were just slightly too big— I am trying a ball of foot and heel cushion to see if that helps. The heel height is perfect and versatile for day or night. They are moderately comfortable, I wouldn’t want to wear these for 8+ hours but a few hours for an event is fine. If I have to exchange for a smaller size I will, but either way I think I’ll be happy with these shoes.

This is a very nice shoe but I found the heel too high for my problem feet; sadly must return.

I LOVE the unique color of these shoes so much! But they are super narrow. So sad to return.

I ordered my usual 8.5 Medium, but they were too narrow. I’m exchanging for 8.5 Wide. Otherwise, they seemed great. The 2” chunky heel is perfect for this old lady who typically wears flats, but wants a bit of a dressy heel to wear to a wedding.

These shoes make my old, wide feet look young and fun again. For real. I didn’t have to order wides, so maybe that should be noted. The color is definitely nude, not blush. The ankle strap rubs a tad bit.

Needs a bit of breaking in and the back is high around the ankle. Cute though and affordable so I’ll keep them. I don’t think they’ll be comfy for long wear. But too early to tell. I wear 8.5 in closed shoes and 8 always in sandals. I ordered 8 in these.

This shoe is too stiff and the height of the back heel hit my ankle at an odd spot. Just wasn’t comfortable!

I felt they were too narrow in the toe.. but the ankle strap was very comfortable and the color is a light grey not a purple as shown in the photo. They are lovely but I felt like the toe strap would cause blisters after a bit of wearing. It was kind of rough under the strap.

I bought a 10 W and 11 W hoping one would fit. The 10 W fit in length but was tight across the toes, but bearable. The 11 W was floppy big. Even my daughter, who has larger feet then me (I usually wear a 10 W, and she would wear a 10.5 W) felt they were big on her. This is the problem when a shoe company decides not to have the half size of 10.5. Otherwise a cute shoe. The only other issue was the height of the ankle strap. For me, I have high ankle bones and slender ankles the rise of the ankle strap was comfortable. My daughter felt it was too high.

These were adorable shoes and I so wanted to keep them, but the heel ended up being too high for me (yes, 2 inches is too high for me). Very cute on, but had to go back.
