Customer Reviews Steve Madden Irenee Sandal

Adorable shoes. Beauty is pain when it comes to comfort and heels though!

I walk around normally on an everyday basis in tennis shoes and HATE heels. These are incredibly cute and I bought them for a trip to Vegas. Not the most supportive though -- but beauty is pain.

I have a slightly wide food and high instep. I consistently wear a 9 in almost every brand shoe. I ordered a 8.5 and 9 in these and ended up going with the 9! I bought these in a “wide” width. I would say they are somewhere in between a regular shoe and a true “wide” shoe, which was perfect for me. If you wear a true “wide,” these will likely be a bit tight on you.

My first pair was a size 9 wide and they were just a little big, my heel went up and down inside the shoe. So I ordered an 8-1/2 wide. They fit better, but sadly, the strap is too short and I can't even buckle them! I love the shoe! Looks great! Will stick with the 9's.

The burgundy color is beautiful (it leans more towards a plum undertone than red), the fit is true to size/width and the lower heel is a godsend. I deducted one star for comfort since the patent leather is very stiff - I know it will be uncomfortable across my toes after wearing them for awhile. But I love patent leather, they are cute and they perfectly match my dress so I’m willing to suffer a bit.

I had to return because they were too painful tow ear, I got blisters everywhere. They were beautiful however!

The shoes are adorable but I found them to be uncomfortable. The strap in the front is very snug. I was able to stretch them with a shoe expander. Hopefully that will help.

Loved the shoes, however the back of the heel comes up quite high, hitting the back of my leg when I walk. If not for that I would keep them. Great looking and otherwhise comfortable.

Absolutely loved these. The blue is so cute! They were just a bit too small, so exchanged for a half size larger

Perfect heel height for my daughter at middle school graduation! Really cute shoe! Year round color and fabric.

These shoes were super comfortable to wear all day long, and walk at my graduation. I was super worried about falling or being uncomfortable for this important day. I searched for an attractive shorter heel (which can be hard to come by) and came to these. I am very please with them, and loved the wide width. I originally ordered the normal with, and returned for these. I definitely recommend if you have a wider foot right before your toes. A bit pricey for what they are... but your paying for the brand. Definitely recommend!

The shoe seems well constructed and isn't too high of a heel. Sadly, the toe band was too loose for my feet, and I felt like I was sliding around more than I was comfortable with.

These are a great height for someone that doesn’t want too high of a heel!

These are cute! The heel height is just about perfect for someone that doesn’t want to wear 3-4 inch heels, but still wants a little lift!

I loved the look of these shoes. The style and color are great. Its not too pink, but subtle enough that it can be worn as a neutral-colored shoe. I ordered a size 9.5W, my standard size, but had to return the shoes because the ankle strap was too tight when I walked. At the loosest buckle the ankle strap was snug when I stood still and when I walked it tightened and made my leg look bigger. My ankles are on the thicker side, but I don't think they are unusually large. Standing still the shoes were perfect. The heel height was comfortable and the length and width of the shoe fit my foot perfectly. But if you have larger ankles I would avoid these shoes.

Great style. The strap for the wide version is pretty tall though (sole is wider too which is nice). The strap basically provides zero support and I just can't walk in them.

I bought these in light blue to wear to my bridal shower. I thought they were comfortable for this type of style. They fit true to size. My guess is that these wouldn't hold up very well if they were worn for a lot of walking, as the ankle strap is so thin and the material could easily get scuffed or dirty looking.

I ordered this in wide. It runs taller rather than wider. There was a large space between my foot and the strap near the toes.

Comfortable, cute shoe. The only issue is the black color of the strap across toes leave black color on my toes.

These are really nice, and seem to be pretty good quality- I have wide feet so it's hard to find sandals that fit well without looking orthopedic. My only issue is that the ankle strap is really high (and slightly short- I don't have ver thick ankles and these barely fit) and so a little uncomfortable- If I keep them I think they will only be dressy sandals for special occasions, when I was hoping they would be OK for work.

I'm on the fence about these. Finally a wide strappy sandal that fits!! However, I'm concerned about the quality and comfort of the ankle strap. It feels very flimsy and also hits in an uncomfortable spot. But, I love the color and the style.

They are cute but felt a little too big

Overall comfortable. I wore them for a wedding and stayed in them all night. Feels true to size however I did have them pretty tight around the ankle as they felt slightly loose when they weren't. I also agree with others on the placement of the strap on the ankle wish it was lower.

Nice shoe but something is off with the ankle strap. I did receive many compliments however.

I love this style for the summer, but the back of the sandal is too high for me and bothers me when I try to walk on it and I have to return it. Other than that, materials and design are great.
