Customer Reviews Steve Madden Irenee Sandal

I’m so disappointed that the ankle strap on the size 10 was too short for me. They are stylish and seemed like a great purchase but I had to return them.

LOVE the look of this shoe. I'm a WW and I feel that the front of this shoe could have worked and the heel is a great height. However, there was a gap where the back of my foot should have met the shoe AND the strap wasn't even long enough to reach the buckle. I don't want to try the 7.5 because I don't think the front would be wide enough. Pretty shoe.

loved the fit of the shoe but I didn't like the look of the heel. It was too chunky and that wasn't the look I was going for.

Great shoes but the light grey suede is not as pictured. It’s way lighter, like cloud grey.

Gorgeous sandal - just the wrong color for my dress - sadly!

Beautiful and high quality shoe but unfortunately too narrow. Had to return.

I have wide feet & have never found a shoe in this style that I could fit into. Bought an 8.5W and it fits great! The only issue is the ankle strap is a little tight, even on the last hole. Be prepared to add another hole if your ankle is larger than 9.5" around.

I loved them, however they were too wine in the heel.

Nice fit

the shoe was comfy for my friend she loved it because her feet are small and thus very difficult to find a size that is not n kids.

These are really pretty shoes, and the material is very soft and high quality. the construction is also good quality, however, the back ankle cup/section that goes up the back of the ankle feels too tall and is a bit stiff. I think it will take some breaking in to get more comfortable, and likely will cause some chafing/blistering on the first few wears. That being said, the material isn't completely stiff/hard so you could bend/massage it by hand to help soften and break up the stiffness a bit before wearing.

The shoe was at least 1/2 size too big. I was going to return it for a smaller size but I found the label stitched into the sole under the heel to be very annoying. I did not know if that was because they were too big and I was slipping, or not. They are very cute, but because of that, I decided not to reorder in a smaller size.

I really like these shoes. I bought them for my wedding because I wanted a low heel that was simple. They are really uncomfortable on my heel but I am hoping I can break them in.

Easy to wear

These shoes are simple and great, I only have a few comments regarding size, the standard width felt pretty narrow, but I've noticed that most Steve Madden shoes run narrow. Also I felt the strap that goes around your ankle was a bit short, I ended up punching a hole in them further down the strap to make them fit better. Also the bottom of these shoes are smooth, and definitely a slip hazard for us clumsy people. I bought some no-slip pads to put on the bottom of the shoes to help resolve this. Overall great shoes, just needed to adjust them a little.

I loved this shoe for my son's recent wedding. They strap around my ankle did rub a blister after a short time.

I’m an 11 so I ordered one size up mostly because my feet tend to get swollen as the night goes one. These were comfortable to stand in and didn’t make me feel super tall since I’m already 5’11”. The toe strap cut the outside of my big toe on both feet I probably just need to find the spot that caused it and add some kind of padding or just remember to wrap a band aid around my big toes. Other than the that I liked the shoe. The blush patent is a nice versatile color to wear.

Lovely shoe, very cute and functional but the ankle strap was much too loose for me, even though I have wider ankles. The block heels were sturdy enough for me and it's a good height. I am fairly tall and I do like that the back of the heel blends seamlessly with the platform so it makes it look like the heel is much taller than it actually is.

The material is awesome and the shoes look outstanding when on. I thought the toe strap area was a tad narrow. Since they come in a wide I wish I had ordered that.

Like the versatile look and the lower heel make the shoe bunion-friendly.

My only problem is that one strap was approximately 1/4 inch shorter than the strap on the other shoe. As a result the strap was too tight (and I have small ankles) which made the lower part of my shin very tender the first time I wore them. I poked a hole in the end of the strap which addressed the problem. Otherwise very comfortable and cute.

I got the yellow for a special occasion. They fit fine even for wide feet. I have not worn them out yet, just walked around in the house and they are not the most comfortable, but they're not terribly uncomfortable. I kept them because of the color and heel--it should be perfect to walk on cobble stone streets and it is not too high. Also the price was right.

It someone was looking for a block heeled sandal in a neutral patent this would be a good choice. Not sure of the quality or comfort over time (read some complaint on another site about the heel breaking) but at 2" the heel height is in the realm of the possible. Color is easy to coordinate with. Still not for me.

These look good and were comfortable. I got size 4 first and it was a little small, especially across the front strap and the front toe area. I exchanged it for 4/.5 and it was perfect.

The shoes are so adorable! I love them! However, not the best shoes to walk around in. I wore them to a gala, and we did a lot more walking than anticipated. I had several blisters near my toes by the end of the night.
