Customer Reviews Steve Madden Irenee Sandal

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.

I usually wear a 4.5 and sometimes a 5 depending on the brand. Sometimes I need a wide shoe, but often I can wear a normal width. I ordered the 4.5, M width and it fits very well! Definitely perfect length and width for my feet. The style is great too. I bought them as a summer shoe for work and they are the perfect for a professional environment. They don't offer much for arch support, but that hasn't affected my comfort too much. I am able to wear the shoes all day and feel fine. Throughout the work day I am pretty 50/50 between on my feet and sitting at a desk. I am definitely keeping the shoes.

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.

These are great basics -- the heel height is good, the style is dressy but not overly so, and the beige is a nice neutral (not too pink, not too orange). The block heel is comfortable when walking or standing. I found the buckle to be kind of a pain, it took some fiddling to get them on or off, and the buckle itself dug into my ankle when I walked if I didn't get it just right. Overall, a solid shoe to add to your closet. You'll definitely wear them with more than one outfit.

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.

These are really cute shoes, but the back piece hits very high and turned out to be quite uncomfortable as it hit awkwardly and rubbed on the back of my foot.

I have very narrow feet but had to order Wide becasue strap around toes is super tight in medium version..

Ordered 8 wide. The block heel is a perfect height to compliment casual wear from shorts to dresses. Great shade of beige. Unfortunately I will be returning because of poor fit. The toe band is too narrow and place to far forward resulting in a poor fit that causes a pinching pain. Please note the leather is very stiff and will need several wearing to soften.

Too narrow. Also ordered wide and will decide. I do not have a super wide foot and this was uncomfortable.

I am between a 6.5 and a 7. More likely a 6.5 in heels however this 7 was huge. I wanted a bit of room for comfort however this was not doable. Waiting on the 6.5 unfortunately have to try the patent leather.

These are more comfortable than any other brand I have tried on in this style sandal. That being said, they look a little flimsy because the ankle strap is very thin in relation to the chunky heal and the front strap. If it was a 1/4 inch wider I would have given them 5 star. I have high arch/instep and a pretty good size bunion and I will be able to use these for dress or casual dress as long as I don't spend hours on my feet.Un-like other brands I tried the front strap hits me in a spot where it's not problem for my bunion. I purchased 7W in two colors.

Cute, too wide for her feet. Needed a longer length.

beautiful color but seemed about a 1/2 size too small

I've been hoping to find a pair of sandals in this style for a few years now...most were either too high or had the front strap in a wrong place for my bunion. These are not a perfect fit but surprisingly are comfy enough that I can wear them for a few hours (even walking) I do wish the ankle strap was a little wider. Not only would it look more balanced with the front strap but it would add to the comfort of the shoe. They ran true to size on me. (7M) Purchased in black and tan. Keeping both because they go with so many outfits.

Haven’t had a chance to wear out but good versatile shoe.

These shoes are so cute, but they seem a little big and the only thing holding them on is the ankle strap. I still love them, but wish other sizes had been available when I ordered them.

The overall style is current and the color (beige) is very versatile. The 2" heel height is perfect for me has I had foot surgery a few years ago and a higher heel will cause me foot pain within minutes. I was a bit surprised by the cheap looking vinyl soles on both the heel and body of the show.

These are really cute, but the blush color really isn't blush in any sense of the word. I was looking for blush shoes to wear to my wedding, and these are actually a light tan/beige. Sadly I had to return them.

I bought these for my teenage daughter. She needed dress shoes for a few events this spring and summer, some of which will be outside, so they needed to be flat, wedge, or block heel. Her shoe size varies wildly between different styles and brands: 39 or 40 in Birkenstocks, 42.5 in Nike cleats (men's 9), 42 (women's 10) in Nike running shoes, women's 9 in Nine West flats. Bought these in both 9 and 9.5 for her to try. The 9 was the better fit on her narrow feet. They look elegant and are decently comfortable.

Beautiful and comfortable. They just felt a half size too big.

These almost worked for me. They looked great on and the gray color was perfect. So much so that I almost kept them despite the issues below. Unfortunately the very thin ankle strap didn’t feel secure enough—too little shoe there. Would be good if all I had to do was make an entrance and sit down, but I need something for a wedding that I can walk and dance in for hours. For perspective, I rarely wear any kind of heel and most of my shoes are chacos or boots! So finding the right shoe was always going to be a challenge. They’d be great for someone used to this type of shoe.
