I was very disappointed in these shoes. I ordered the natural snake color. The description said they were suede, Maybe the solid colors are suede, but the snakeskin pattern shoes are plastic (PU). It is extremely stiff, inflexible and uncomfortable. I couldn’t even tell whether they fit properly, that’s how stiff the shoes are. I returned them. Zappos, I’d suggest that in your description of these shoes you specify which colors are made from suede, which from fabric, which from PU/plastic.

I got a half size up and they work well for me- I have a thicker, wider foot, so if you have a narrow, thin foot then these would be too spacious. I wish they had a little better arch, but I can put one in it for support. I got the gray suede and they look awesome with jeans, a great summer run-around shoe. I'm thinking of getting the black quilted version, as they look Chanel-y :)

Bought the black croco because they were on sale. They look and feel as cheap as they are. Plastic upper, zero cushion or arch support. Sent them back immediately.

Super comfortable once you break them in. They fit pretty true to size, but got bad blisters the first time worn, very stiff. Once broken in though, they are extremely comfortable!

After an inventory glitch when I ordered an 8.5 and a pair of shoes arrived in an 8.5 box and one shoe was stamped size 8.5 and the other one stamped size 6.5 and the shoes were an actual 6.5, Zappos promptly issued me an apology and a no-questions-asked refund. I submitted a replacement order which arrived and which were correctly labeled and fit perfectly. I'm an 8.5 and the Size 8 is an 8 and the size 8.5 allows for a little more toe room if you prefer it but it also slips off your heel a little more so I kept the 8 since I wear this shoe without a sock. Awesome service yet again from Zappos!

I have these in grey suede and I love these for wearing with jeans or shorts. They are super versatile in color and my first pair lasted me 3 years with just summer/fall use. I spray with weatherproof spray and they now look a little rough. I have a new pair for better use and kept the old pair for knocking around home, and in the yard. I have a wide foot, but the wide size was too wide, the medium with fits ok, sometimes a little snug. I'm now looking to buy another neutral color like tan or nude. This is my main go-to shoe for warmer months. Keep them coming Steve Madden!

I love these shoes! This is my third pair! I have the leopard, grey suede and now the black leather! So cute, casual & most shockingly comfortable! No blisters no break in time. Ordered my normal size & they are perfect. I get SO many compliments on the furry leopard when I wear them.

Steve Madden shoes are my JAM. I wish I could buy them all. I own a similar pair to these that were a velvet material and darker burgundy shade. I really wish these ones were a darker shade as the color makes them appear a little jaded. Other than that small thing I really love these shoes. They’re comfortable and easily go with multiple outfits. The thick sole is nice. It makes my feet feel more secure in the shoe. One of the great things about Steve Madden sneakers is they require very little “wear in” time. I usually always get rubbed raw on my heel, but with SM that very rarely happens. These shoes are no exception. I wore them all day the first day with no issues of discomfort. My next purchase will be the navy ones, because why not?

I’m absolutely obsessed with my steve maddens!! Here’s the thing, you have to break them in. It took me about 2-3 days to break in. I would recommend going a half size down.

Great shoes! Very stylish and comfortable. I have a wider foot and found these to comfortably accommodate that, however I do feel like the are a tad long so overall they run slightly large.

Very cute with jeans, shorts and casual skirts. Super comfortable right out of the box (I wear with no show socks). Usually wear a 9 or 9 1/2, got the 9W and they are perfect. A little more comfortable after replacing the insole with some arch support.

Love these fun slip-ons! I had an older pair of Steve Madden quilted leather slip-ons from a few years ago and loved them, so when I saw these I knew they'd be a safe bet. Typically, I wear an 8.5 in all other brands, but find Steve Madden to run a bit small so I usually wear a 9 in their shoes. I first ordered a 9 in these and found myself slipping out of them a little, so I ordered the 8.5. The 8.5 fits better, hopefully no blisters while I break them in! I got the gray color and I LOVE it! It almost has a blueish tint to it, but still very neutral. Super cute with jeans and shorts, these shoes are perfect for any season.

I just got measured as a 7.1 W (D in one foot and E in another, I also have high arches). I ordered a 8W in these shoes. The bottom is super stiff and not flexible at all, I do not see how anyone can find these comfortable, and the price--to me they look like they should be $25 at most. Sorry, I do not care for these at all.

I bought these for my 24-year-old daughter. This is her fourth or fifth pair of Gills sneakers. She loves everything about them, including how they stand up to rain. She told me the Gills are her go-to sneakers because they look good with everything and they fit her Boston lifestyle perfectly

Super comfy. So glad they have the silver button on the back as I saw someone in them and that was my only clue to figure out who made them.

I love these shoes. I have two pairs and wear them all the time casual dressy or sporty. I would buy all the colors if I could.

I got these in the multi croc color and they are beautiful! I wasn't sure about size (I am a 7-8M) so I ordered the 7.5. They are just slightly large with bare feet but with no show socks they are perfect. I prefer to wear them with socks to avoid rubbing which always happens to me with any new shoes or sandals. The upper P/U fabric is a little "stiff" but the inside is beautifully lined in a very soft material. After wearing to the gym once, they have already softened up. I love the whole look!

I bought the grey and blue and both are the color and material I expected. My work “uniform” is generally jeans, T-shirt, jacket and slip-ons and these suit the purpose perfectly as they are a bit nicer than my leather chucks.

I bought my normal size and they fit perfectly. I bought the multi snake and they are so pretty. A step above the normal snake skin colors. I love mine and can not wait to wear them!
