Steve Madden Women's Possession Sneaker, Black/Tan, 7 US

I’m only giving them 3 stars because they shoes just run small and that’s ridiculous I ordered an 8 1/2 and couldn’t fit the shoe luckily we have a Steve Madden store in Jacksonville and I was able to exchange them for a 9. I feel as if they should state that on they site so no one will get stuck. Someone may need they shoes for an event or something they need to do better this not the first time I’ve ordered and the sizing was off it’s irritating. The shoes are nice it’s just an inconvenience. So I’m giving a realistic review for once💆🏾‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Cute & comfy but these are PINK not red

From the pics, I thought these were going to be the red sneakers I've been looking for. Instead they are a HOT BARBIE/PEPTO PINK! I'm keeping them bc they are still cute and comfy, but I expected from the pics that they'd be red, so I was surprised. The color name "fuchsia" could be clearer too as I wouldn't really call these fuchsia either. Anyway, they are great, just not as pictured but perfect for all the Barbie Girls in this Barbie World.

Cute but poorly made

I was so excited to finally get these sneakers but they look so cheap. The brown bits are barely stitched on and the ones on the bottom are painted. The stitching is uneven and the painted part is so crooked and overdone. Amd the kicker: its super uncomfortable, the back pinches and it hurts to walk in for more than an hour. For a $100 shoe this looks like it came from a Shein warehouse. Incredibly disappointed.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

Honestly, I had wanted these shoes for a couple of months before I received them as a gift. When I did receive them, I told myself I would only wear them when it was a special occasion as to not wear them out and ruin them. I was wrong. They were ruined even before I wore them as the aglet on the right side was faulty since the laces started to unravel itself and became a huge puffball. This didn't happen to the other side of the shoe. Not only that, the right shoe with the messed up laces also had a weird flap as it never laid down flat to the point that the laces cut into my skin and made me bleed. I now have a permanent scar on my right foot because the laces dug into my skin due to the friction. The flap that was supposed to prevent this from happening was ... MoreHonestly, I had wanted these shoes for a couple of months before I received them as a gift.

Note, this didn't happen to the left side of the shoe whatsoever. When I reached out to customer service to report about the defect, they stated they couldn't do anything because it was beyond 90 days even though their policy about defectives doesn't state a length of time. I really regret saving myself from wearing the shoes for a special occasion as customer service said that they can't do anything and offered me 20% off my next order instead. 20% off isn't worth having a permanent scar, and receiving a dismissive apology was my final straw as I had wanted to love the shoe but the customer service left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I no longer will shop at Steve Madden and for those who are looking to, save your money and don't.

Love the style, bad manufacturing

This style was so popular that when I ordered it, it was on back order and I waited a while to get them. When I did get eventually get them, I got a lot of compliments.I'm just incredibly disappointed because only after about a month of wearing, the glue has loosened around the left shoe and the shoe came apart. Now, if walk in them the left shoe makes a strange squeaking sound because the mid-section and the bottom of the shoe have been separated from the outside, so stepping into them makes them rub against each other - very bad look for Steve Madden shoe.I called customer service to see if I can exchange them because I really love the style, but they said no because it's been past the number of days since it got shipped. I thought manufacturing defect would ... MoreThis style was so popular that when I ordered it, it was on back order and I waited a while to get them.

I thought manufacturing defect would have been probable reason for an exchange at least but they still refused. They just told me to go to a shoe repair store to repair it.I always had a lot of respect for Steve Madden shoes and I only strive to shop for top quality. Now I'm not so sure anymore, especially since they were not willing to exchange this pair for me.

Loving these !!! Just bought today 7/14/23

I recently bought the white sneakers and I absolutely love them. I wear size 10 and they give pure nostalgic vibes. I believe baby spice from spice girls would have worn these. Also love the platform and how comfortable they feel. Also love the fact that my feet didn’t look huge in these and the price I think is reasonable. I could see myself buying a different pair. I suggest low rise or ankle cut. Nothing too thick of a sock for these shoes if you want some wiggle room.

Not Good

I tried these on in the store, and I thought they looked so nice so I figured I’ll try them on again when I get home and with different socks, they going to feel a whole lot better. Not the case at all. Within 10 minutes of having these on my feet my left foot was in excruciating pain. I’ve never had that experience with any sneaker. These look good, but are not meant to wear as sneakers. If I want an uncomfortable shoe, I’ll wear heels.

Totally bummed! Only time didn't check

I didn't check the reviews because I was about 100% sure what sneakers size I was. So sad I didn't even try these on until 2 months after I purchased to go out in and 😳 I couldn't do it and now I've got no $to buy the correct size and I wouldn't know what the was by the ones I got!! I'm size 8 just about any boots because I wear thick socks although I tried on 7 in the fashion doc martins and they DID fit until one foot didn't. I'm size 7-8 I guess depending on brand. At the time of purchase there were only 8 and 7 so I hate hate hate having my sneakers too Big and rub the back of my heel plus make feet look really big. These are definitely very cute IRL tho

tricked me thought I purchased men shoes

I bought these back on the 4th of August. I got a different kind of Steve Madden sneakers for my girl because I wanted to surprise her with new shoes. Obviously these shoes look gender fluid. And nowhere did it say a women’s 12 when I was under the MENS SHOES TAB. So when my size 12 shoes showed up i was so excited…..didn’t last long I’m usually a size 12.5 in men’s but since I liked the style I got a size 12. Well turns out it’s a women’s shoe and it wouldn’t even go over my feet at all. Btw I wanted to surprise my fiancée so I threw away the boxes (evidence). So now they won’t let me return them. To me they should have to reimburse me because I was SUPPOSEDLY LOOKING AT THE MENNNNNNSSSSSS SHOES!!!Rant over
