Customer Reviews Steve Madden Catia Wedge Sandal

Such a bittersweet review. I was very excited for these. I LOVE how they look especially on! However, I have narrow feet and the toe strap is way too tight causing my foot to be pushed to the very back of the shoe with half an inch at the front. They are pillowy when walked on, but I almost rolled my ankles 3-4 times during the five minutes I had them on. Something's just not right about them. I also think the materials are very cheap feeling, and the footbed material made my feet instantly sweat, and i'm not even a sweaty person. The back strap also sits way too low on the heel, and is very uncomfortable. They are so adorable but need to be executed much better. Steve Maddens brand seems to have declined in quality.

I had to get these a whole size bigger in order to fit. I wear a 6 but I had to get them in a 7.

Love the look of this shoe but unfortunately the way the show is designed, it doesn't allow you slide your foot all the way into the shoe. The strap the second strap is too close to the back of the shoe and unless you have extremely flat feet you won't be able to slide your foot in the shoe all the way. My heel was hanging off the back a good inch. I typically wear a 7.5 and will need to return. I think I would have to go up a full size in order to have the room needed but then the front of the shoe would be too long.

Love these! I needed some new wedges bc my dog chewed up my favorite pair and these are fantastic. I am a teacher and on my feet ALL DAY. These did not give me any blisters and were really comfortable which is a must for me. I also really like the height. I am already 5'8", so I hate super tall wedges or platforms. These give me just the right amount of height without making me feel as if I am towering over people. I would highly recommend these shoes!

My daughter has these shoes and every time she wears them I want a pair. We wear the same size in shoes so I ordered the same size as her’s which are 8.5. I put them on as soon as they arrived but they were way to small. They fit more like a 7.5, my sister (size 8) tried them on and they were to small for her as well. I was planning on ordering a size 9 and 9.5 but unfortunately they are all sold out. Super cute sandals if you can figure out your size.

I really like the style and look of these. I bought them for an upcoming trip where I will be doing lots of walking so I've spent the last several nights at home wearing them to make sure they would be comfortable for long days of walking. I also wore them to the mall one day. They are relatively comfortable. They are stiff and a little clunky but I like them and will plan to bring them on my trip. The top straps are snug and I'm hoping they will stretch a little over time. That's really my only complaint. I like them enough that I would consider a pair in black as well.

I am a size 8, so I ordered the first pair on that size, it was very small so I exchanged it for an 8.5 thinking that would be more than enough, but it wasn't; now I'm returning those ones and ordering a size 9. Seems like a big jump considering that I wear an 8 very comfortably in any other shoe I have. I really like the look on these shoes so I'm hoping 3rd time is a true charm for me ??

Cute and comfortable shoes. I am a teacher and had no problems wearing them all day. I wear a 7 1/2 in the 1 State brand sandals, however, I had to get an 8 1/2 in these sandals.

These shoes are WONDERFUL!!! I have never written a review about any clothing item, that shows how much I love these sandals!! I was very hesitant about the "flatform" style because I have had issues rolling my ankles when I wear platform wedges so I figured that would happen with these- so NOT the case! These are like walking on puffy clouds. You can't even tell there is a wedge to them. I can say they are very comfortable because I just wore them this weekend in New Orleans for a bachelorette party, only 1 week after purchasing them! We walked all over in the sweltering August heat and these shoes were a dream. Spent all day on my feet with these shoes on and then continued to wear them into the night with not one slight bit of pain or discomfort. Even though my feet were a little sweaty, (NOLA in August, no surprise there!) I didn't slip or slide at all in these sandals. I also never rolled my ankle on all of the uneven roads they have. *Also, for those saying that the front strap is tight- I have wide feet, particularly where that strap hits and have no trouble getting my foot fully through it. They fit this way from the first time I tried them on and haven't stretched out with how often I've been wearing them. BUY THEM!!!!!

I am not a review leaver but I had to send a review on these sandals! They are so comfortable! I wore them all over the east coast where it was hot and humid and we walked and walked and my feet never hurt. It was amazing. They totally held up even when we got caught in a torrential downpour and they got soaked. Great sandals!

I love the look and feel of the shoes and comfort, exactly what i was looking for. However the quality of the shoes is a little bit disappointing I was hoping for more stronger straps which i will found out after wearing the shoes, how they will hold on... besides that the price is not justify because of the quality.

Great shoe. Mine fit perfectly. My mom thought it was uncomfortable but I kept mine.

These sandals are really comfortable, i did need to order a 1/2 size bigger- I typically wear a 6 1/2 but Steve madden, for me, always runs small. Can't wait for the warmer weather to wear them!

Love these shoes! I wear a 7.5 and they fit true to size for me. They are easy to walk in and have a comfortable footbed. I can definitely see wearing them all day. The heel strap is a little low like mentioned in another review. However, when I tightened the heel strap they did not slip.

These shoes look great on my feet. Size is perfect from using the size guide and the arch makes them very comfortable. The strap across the top of my foot rubs a bit on my right foot but not my left. I can put moleskin on the under side to keep it from getting a blister! Cute and good price.

These shoes are very cute. They are not the most comfortable shoes to wear for a long time. They did get a bit more comfortable because I wore them around the house with a thick sock to stretch out the strap near my toes. I usually wear a size 7.5 but ordered an 8 based on other reviews, and they fit perfect. I usually always go up a half size in Steve Madden shoes. A big shout out to Zappos customer service, as I accidentally sent the shoes to an old address and instead of waiting for them to get returned or to forward on to me, Zappos sent me a new pair to my address without charging me. They really have the best customer service.

The top strap is too narrow and doesn’t allow the foot to go all the way in. I normally wear a regular width shoe. Sizing up 1/2 size didn’t help.

I liked this shoe a lot. But they ran short. It also was lined with non leather and thus felt like non leather. I tired ordering them 1/2 a size up but they still ran short and then the straps were even shorter. So poor quality so I kept them in the smaller size and will deal with my foot being a little off the back for a good price.

These run very small.

Made cheap!!! Super cute shoe and very comfortable but mine fell apart after having them for about 2 months. The sole completely disconnected from the rest of the shoe. I thought I could super glue it back together but it is too much damage, they are completely ruined. Do not waste your money!

These are the cutest shoes and I would have loved to keep them. Unfortunately the fit is horrible. I totally agree with the other reviewer who mentioned that the back strap is just not in the right place. I tried a size 9 and a size 9 1/2. I am normally a 9 in all Steve Madden shoes. In both pairs, there was no way to slide my foot forward enough because the back strap is placed too far back. It seems to be a design flaw. Maybe if I sized up to a 10 it would have worked, but then I would have too much room in the front of the shoe. Really too bad, because they are so cute!

Tiny, Tiny, Tiny!! I would suggest maybe 2 sizes bigger than your usual size. They look pretty cheap as well for being leather.

These shoes are very undersized. Order at least one size larger. I ordered two pairs to find the right fit and both were too small. So I took my daughter to the Steve Madden store in hopes she’d find her size but it didn’t happen. We went and she tried on a 10. When she put the shoe on it looked just as small as the original size 9. Ten is the largest. She probably needs an 11. Also, these shoes look very cheap for being leather and $80. If you want these wait for a huge sale or buy a better quality sandal from another designer when a similar style is on sale for this price.

Very disappointed! I was under the impression that these had a leather upper, but the part that touches your feet is a very thick, uncomfortable plastic/synthetic material. I could tell right away these would've given me terrible blisters, so I initiated a return on the spot-- didn't even bother to try the other one on! They're also very heavy and look cheaper than pictured.

The size and fit were great. I bought these a couple months ago but never got to wear them because of COVID I wasn't going out. I've now worn them three times and on the third time while walking the strap broke, just came unstitched. I couldn't believe it, I thought they were better quality than this, but now they are useless and I can't return them. I wouldn't recommend them if they are so poorly made.
