Customer Reviews Steve Madden Irenee Sandal

Although this sandal was really pretty, and seemed to be made well, the front band cut into my foot right where it bends to take a step. Too bad, because they are really nice-looking sandals.

The shoes fit fine and were comfortable to wear for work. I always got a lot of compliments on them. I've had them for less than a year but they are unfortunately breaking at the base of the foot (cracking not at the toes but more inward). Am hoping to find the same style by a different brand.

So disappointed in this shoe. I have purchased many Steve Madden shoes before and have never had a problem with any of them. The quality of these shoes is awful. The leather had cuts and scratches in it and the back of shoe was lumpy, not sewn flat. I returned them and purchased another pair hoping that it was just the pair I received, but sadly the second pair was even worse. So sad for such a cute shoe.

I have this exact shoe in blush and beige in an 8 wide and they are awesome. They are wide enough and very comfortable. They look great with dresses and pants. I have now ordered the black three times and not all from Zappos and the black is not a wide width. It does not fit like my other two pair do. I am dissapointed and confused as to how a manufacturer can make shoes in a wide width and one color is not a wide. Steve Madden, check your product.

I ordered two sizes and it just didn’t work for me. I have narrow feet and in these shoes even the wide were too narrow! Had to return them! It looked lovely but the fit was very uncomfortable

It's hard for me to give a fair rating as the shoe does not fit me properly. I very badly wanted to squeeze my D width foot into the shoe but it is truly a W which means a C and therefore my foot hangs off the sides and my toes are pinched. Maybe some day designers will realize that women with wide feet deserve pretty shoes.

The Steve Madden wide-fit shoes as a whole need more attention from the designers. I'm a true size 7 in flats, and a 7.5 in heels, but with this brand (and this shoe), I have to go down to a 6.5. The width is great, but the length is way off. The shoes I was sent were poorly made as well. I have underpronated feet, and these shoes had me completely overpronated, which tells me that the shoe came from horrendous manufacturing. Fakes? Probably not, since it's Zappos. But the ones I received were that bad. I send these back and am ordering a size down this time, hoping to get a pair that will both fit and be made well enough for me to walk normally.

The color was the perfect nude to go with summer dresses and as much as I wanted to love them, for me comfort is key nowadays. The heel height was right, but that back part of the shoe hit in a weird spot and I would have for sure had a blister. I think if it was just strappy without that firm ankle part it would be a much better shoe.

I ordered the wide size and they're still narrower than I would have liked. I have a feeling that when they made the wide version of the shoe, all they did was make the front strap a bit looser without increasing the width of the footbed. The footbed is too narrow for me at the toes.

I like the look of this shoe. However, the heel is very heavy, and the strap is so thin...it puts a a lot of weight on the strap and caused the shoe to pull away from my foot. There are many people who fave this a favorable review, so I must be in the minority. Too bad. It was definitely the look I was going for.

I looked at the other reviews on this shoe and saw that some people had commented the back of the shoe hit quite high on the ankle, digging in and that it was therefore uncomfortable. I thought I would order and see for myself. Yup, they were right. Sadly, sending these back. Too bad, they were very cute!

I love this shape of shoe and often wear sandals like this. However, these sandals are poorly designed. The front strap is too narrow and sits too low down on the foot, covering the base of the toes, instead of higher up the foot (just before the toes begin) where it would be more comfortable and provide more support for walking. I have slightly wide true size 9 feet and was really disappointed in the fit and quality. Returning!

Oh I wish I had listened to the reviews but I got over confident. These are very tight over the toe area and are not wide width at all.

So uncomfortable! The ankle straps are just awful.

These shoes felt very cheap and the back support felt stiff. I suspect they would not be very comfortable. Unfortunately, the ankle strap was too short and had to be stretched to fasten so I'll never know.

I wore these for 15 minutes at a wedding and changed into something else. Terrible!!

The color is not the same as the picture, why you lie !!!!!!!

Didn't like the color and it pinched my toes

Cute style, perfect heel, but narrow and so, so uncomfortable. Major regrets that I wore these, now I’m stuck w/ them. I was really wanting dressy sandals that I could actually wear.

Very pinchy shoes, low quality material.

The fit and material were fine - however, they make clicking noises when you walk in them. I discovered this on the night of my event. The longer I wore them, the louder the clicking noises because. It was as the heels are not completely attached.

These are NOT the shoes that I received.

I received clearly used shoes. The ankle strap had indents. I’m so disappointed. Already set the return in motion.

They hurt so bad! I really wished I’d returned these right away. I tried to make them work. I can’t wear them for more than an hour.
