Customer Reviews Steve Madden Irenee Sandal

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.

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.

These are super comfortable in the wide width in that the toe band doesn't dig in like I so often have problems with. The back comes up a little high and I can't tell yet if that's going to rub or not. My biggest complaint is the ankle strap. It took a lot of work to get it around my ankle. You'd think in a wide width, they'd make the ankle strap a little longer. Not sure if I'll keep them or not. I love the way they look!

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

I ordered these because they came in a wide. The toe strap is a little loose, but I hate when my foot extends past the sides of dress shoes. So in that regard, these are good.

The blush color is beautiful, however it is definitely a taupe/nude..not very blush toned. But that's what I was looking for so that's ok. I'm not a big girl but I do have slightly wide feet, although I almost never have to buy wide width shoes, even in Steve Madden. But these are NARROW. I am normally a 7M in any and all shoe brans and had to get a 6.5W in these and they just barely work. I also have the ankle strap on the last hole and it's still a little tight! They are comfortable for me, but if you truly have wide feet I don't think they will work.

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 wore this shoe to a wedding. It was comfortable for the day of the wedding. I never felt like I wanted to take my shoes off for dancing, which I often do with wedding shoes.

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.
