    steve madden wedges Steve Madden Fauntain rope soled wedges

    Even although I’m currently on the hunt for a pair of comfortable, casual wedges to take on holiday with me this summer, I probably wouldn’t have given Steve Madden’s ‘Fauntain’ a second look, were it not for the photo of them being worn, which proved that the “natural” colour could just  be the perfect nude to match my pale legs!

    When it comes to canvas wedges, I’m looking for something super-versatile that won’t weigh down my suitcase, and will work with every item of clothing inside it. So far, these fit the bill, and the fact that they have a pretty little flower on the front is just the icing on the, er, shoe.

    If nude shoes aren’t for you, these come in six other colours, too. They’re $99.95 at Steve Madden.

    steve madden toppazz Steve Madden Toppazz courts with frill detailThese shoes actually come in six different colours, but I’ve chosen two to show you here: the red because it’s my favourite, and the leopard print because… well, because it’s just the loudest. Actually, when I look at the two side by side, the leopard print almost looks like a different shoe, but other than colour or fabric, they’re the same style: that ruffle detail is supposed to sit slightly to the side of the shoe, although the photo makes it look like it goes all the way across the toe on the red pair.

    Speaking of the red pair, I love them. The leopard, not so much, but the bright blue these also come in is rather nice. Other than those, these are available in black, cream and grey, and are $99.99 at Steve Madden. What do you think of them?

    Steve Madden ‘Dyme’ knee high boots

    steve madden dyme boots Steve Madden Dyme knee high bootsSteve Madden has been accused of ripping off so many other designers now that I always feel vaguely suspicious when I discover a style of his I like. BUT. These tan knee-high ‘Dyme’ boots are exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for for months, now: I love the buttons at the top of the leg, the high heel, and even the platform. In fact, for the sake of mu bank account, I’m kind of wishing I hadn’t noticed that the site offers international shipping now.

    Even without the shipping ($34, in case you’re wondering, but if you’re not in the US, you’re probably going to get hit with a customs charge, too – I almost always do!), these aren’t cheap at $229.95, but they are lovely, and they’re also available in black, too. Get them at Steve Madden.

    Alexander McQueen sues Steve Madden

    steve madden alexander mcqu Alexander McQueen sues Steve MaddenRemember this case of shoe deja vu? Well, it seems it was a step too far for Alexander McQueen, whose lawyers confirmed this week that the designer is taking legal action against Steve Madden for copyright theft. They say the only difference between the shoes is that McQueen’s signature skull zipper is missing from the Madden shoe – and McQueen isn’t happy about it.

    I’ve always wondered how it is that Steve Madden gets away with such blatant copies of other designer’s shoes – maybe this is one case where he WON’T get away with it…

    Steve Madden suede ‘Trickked’ pumps with rose embellished strap

    steve madden Trickked pumps Steve Madden suede Trickked pumps with rose embellished strapEvery time I see a pair of Steve Madden shoes, I find myself wondering which designer is being copied THIS time. In the case of these ‘Trickked’ pumps I have no idea where the inspiration came from, and it may well be Madden’s own, in which case I think he deserves a pat on the back, because this is a really nice shoe for Fall. They remind me a little of the ‘Fiesstaa’ sandals (Steve really likes random letters, doesn’t he?) I lusted over during the summer (and am still lusting over, actually. Anyone want to buy me a pair.) but with a closed toe and a row of flowers on the t-strap, rather than ruffles.

    I love them, and think that, although dressy, they’re a shoe you could probably wear just about anywhere. They come in red, grey and black, and are £129.95 from the Steve Madden website.

    Shoe Deja Vu: Steve Madden’s ‘Seryna’ Vs Alexander McQueen’s ‘Pelle’ boots

    steve madden alexander mcqu Shoe Deja Vu: Steve Maddens Seryna Vs Alexander McQueens Pelle boots

    They don’t really get much more blatant than Steve Madden, do they?

    I wrote about Alexander McQueen’s ‘Pelle’ ankle boots back in May, but I clearly wasn’t the only one to have noticed these biker-style boots, because just a few months later, along comes Mr Madden with his ‘Seryna’, which are startlingly similar, to say the least.

    The McQueen boots, mind you, are $1,159, while the Madden versions are a mere $129.95, so they’re not so similar in price. I’d be struggling to point out too many other differences, though…

    Shoe Deja Vu: Charlotte Russe Vs Steve Madden – studded booties

    charlotte russe studded boo Shoe Deja Vu: Charlotte Russe Vs Steve Madden studded bootiesNo, it’s not Groundhog Day – and I haven’t just posted the Steve Madden ‘Marvel’ booties twice by mistake either! When I wrote about those shoes last week, reader Jean emailed me to say they really reminded her of a pair of boots she’d seen at Charlotte Russe. And wow, but she’s right! The Charlotte Russe boots on the left aren’t just similar to the Steve Madden pair: they’re pretty much identical, no? As we know, Madden is well known for copying – I’m sorry, being inspired by - designer shoes, so this makes me think both of these must be a version of another shoe: I’m just not sure which one.

    Either that or this time Steve Madden was inspired by, er, Charlotte Russe. Or they were inspired by him. Or… oh, I don’t know. In any case, the Charlotte Russe boots are $29.99 and also available in purple. Now, if only someone would make a version with a CLOSED TOE…

    steve madden studded boots Steve Madden Marvel studded peeptoe shoe bootsOK, that’s it: I think my head is about to explode over the whole “peep toes on boots” thing.

    I mean, take these Steve Madden shoe boots. They’re gorgeous. They’re just the right shape for wearing with jeans. I LOVE the suds. They’re expensive, but not prohibitively so. In fact, they’d be just about perfect IF THEY DIDN’T HAVE A FREAKING PEEP TOE ON THEM.

    But they do.  And that’s just not going to work in the UK winter climate, so as much as I love everything else about them, I’m going to have to regretfully turn away from them, and think of them no more. Sad.

    If you can live with cold toes in winter, these are £155 from My-Wardrobe.
