Customer Reviews Steve Madden Irenee Sandal

Way too big!! Definitely Mis-sized

I really wanted to like these shoes. I usually wear a size 8. They run big so I ended up with a 7. They’re cute shoes but not very comfortable for me. If I hadn’t worn them outside, I would return them. Cute shoes - just not the right shoe for my high arch feet!

I'm 5'2" and the heel and ankle portion of this shoe was really high up on my ankle that it was extremely uncomfortable. Maybe these are best for tall people??

They’re cute, but that’s it. Heel rubbed and there is absolutely no arch support or cushioning in the insole. I needed more than cute.

I really wanted to love these shoes, but I agree with previous reviewers, the ankle strap was bothersome being too high on the ankle and the left foot strap inside was not "finished" that it was irritating my ankle as I walked. I wanted to put a piece of felt on the inside strap covering up the seam that was causing the problem. Also, the top strap was would have been more comfortable if it was 2 cm further down from the toe area of the shoe. It was hitting the bottom part of my toes I flexed forward. The overall shoe is stylish and the padding is not bad but overall construction and material of the ankle strap and placement of the top strap is uncomfortable.. It's going back. =I

Purchased these shoes for my daughter to wear to her school homecoming dance. They are very cute and fairly comfortable, but the quality is so-so. The finishing stitching on the end of the strap of one of the shoes was very poor, so ragged leather was sticking out. Called Zappos customer support and as per usual excellent Zappos service, they immediately shipped a replacement. BUT... replacement pair had the same issue. Thankfully, one pair had the issue on the right shoe, the other pair on the left shoe, so we were able to make one good pair from the two. Good thing, because at that point we didn't have time to go through another replacement cycle.

Super-cute with a solid heel, this shoe had potential for wear at a Saturday night wedding reception. Sadly, the cupped rear piece would have chafed behind the ankles, for sure.

Cute, but too snug in the toe area.

Toe strap was very tight. I couldn't even walk around the house comfortably. Too bad because they looked great. Back they went. Thanks Zappos for the easy return policy!

Ordered these for a wedding I was in and knew I was in trouble pretty quickly. The height of the heel pushes your foot forward just enough that your toes want to hang over the edge. I was very uncomfortable. Also, the back comes up higher than seems necessary. I have faint scars now from where the shoe dug into the back of my leg all day.

Very cute shoe and runs true to size. I love the style of the shoe, every minimalistic.

Beautiful shoe - but the ankle strap was so tight it cut off the circulation. Sent them back

The ankle strap is apparently for very narrow ankles. I could buckle it, but I could not walk in it.

Love the shoe but it just doesn't fit right ...something is off with the ankle strap, it's fine until I walk. I wear a 6 and bought a 6, the 6 fits. I'll walk around the house more before I decide whether to keep them.

These shoes are adorable, but very narrow. If you have wider feet they likely won't fit.

I absolutely love the style of these shoes and the size of the heel. The only reason I am hesitant right now to recommend them is because the first time I wore these (at a wedding) I got terrible blisters from the ankle strap. I am going to keep these shoes and hope that this wears off over time!

The size was true, however the area around the back of my heel was so loose, I'm afraid I would lose my balance trying to keep my feet in these shoes.

This sandal is adorable and true to size. The problem lies in the back ankle strap; it is too long and rubs against your skin. Disappointed because the sandal is really cute.

Everything was great except the ankle strap portion was too high. It rubs against the back of my leg and will eventually rub a hole in my skin. That bit is uncomfortable.

Extremely tight in the toe strapping will be returning my pair.

The material strap over the toes does not flex at all and I found extremely uncomfortable around my toes when I tried them on. Returning

I really like the look, low heel, comfortable foot, and they look great if you are just standing. However the heel goes up so high is rubs against the back park of the keg and makes a slight blister. They would be perfect if the back was lower.

The toe box is VERY NARROW! I couldn't wear these around the room so I know I won't be able to wear them around town.

Just not comfortable

The backing was way too high and hurt my achilles tendon. Will not be able to comfortably wear these.
