Their shoes are really bad quality
Their shoes are really bad quality, I think even shoes from Shein are better quality and last longer than Steve Madden! It’s crazy how I spend £120 for a pair of shoes and I didn’t even wear them much… after some time the bottom of the shoe came off which I wasn’t expecting from this high-end brand

I ordered two pairs of trainers 16/07/2025.
They were supposed to be delivered on the 18th. The courier didn’t deliver them so I reached out to them a few days later. After a week of investigation I was told they had gone missing. I reached out to Steve Madden and Barry told me that Evri, the courier were having delays. Which was INCORRECT as I’d already been told they were missing, he was just trying to pacify me. Evri have said it’s their responsibility to refund Steve Madden and the matter will be dealt with directly. As for me, get intouch for my refund. Numerous attempts to email Steve Madden NOTHING. I thought I’d be okay whilst it was being dealt with as I paid via clearpay and stupidly thought they were like Klarna and pause any payments when a dispute is raised. Again INCORRECT. Not only are Steve Madden not co operative with myself or evri, they are actively avoiding clearpay whilst STILL TAKING PAYMENT FOR MY ITEMS THAT HAVE GONE MISSING!!
Evri have a terrible reputation, anything going missing in my opinion is on the sender. Never ever should the customer be left out of pocket for spending their money at your business then being punished for said order going missing and being charged! I am not stupid and will take this as high as it needs to go. SORT MY REFUND OUT YOU THEIVES. Never ever ever ever ever again will I trust this company. Loved their trainers. But their despicable customer service this time around is not forgivable. Should never have trusted them again. And I’m paying the price LITERALLY for doing so.
I returned an item & after the courier…
I returned an item & after the courier informed me that Steve Madden had received it I reached out to them to enquire about my refund. They have yet to respond to any of my emails or return my money. I paid through klarma & they are trying in my behalf but Steve Madden . Absolutely disgusting service
Excellent - kept up to date.
Not used this company before but couldn't resist a pair of shoes which I had had my eye on....when they were reduced in the sale. Very impressed with the service. I was kept informed all the way by email both from them and their courier. Loved the shoes - very chic!
Do not buy these shoes
Do not buy these shoes. The most uncomfortable and expensive shoes I have ever bought.
Customer Service is shocking. Not worth a penny.
Terrible returns process and customer service
I ordered a pair of sandals that didn’t work out for me. Unfortunately, the only return option by post required access to a printer, which I don’t have.
I decided to take the item to the Steve Madden store on Oxford Street, hoping they could help. The shop assistant told me they couldn’t process online returns in-store and mentioned I was the ‘eighth person’ that day to ask. It’s frustrating that so many customers are clearly facing the same issue, yet nothing seems to be changing.
Feeling stuck, I asked if I could print the return label using their store printer. She laughed and gave a firm “no,” which I found quite dismissive. I was simply trying to find a solution with the limited options available to me.
She then told me that most customers are able to return items without needing a printer and wasn’t sure why it was different in my case. I found this very unhelpful, especially since I had already contacted customer service and was told that a printed label was the only option.
She also insisted that the QR code on the printable label would allow me to process the return. I explained that the QR code simply links back to their website and doesn’t solve the issue—but she continued to insist otherwise without really listening.
Steve Madden, please rethink your return process and customer service. As it stands, it feels unnecessarily difficult, inefficient, and unresponsive to your customers’ needs.
Constantly damaged boots
I ordered the moto style boots and they arrived damaged, emailed customer service and they said for me to return them and re order. The second pair has arrived in an even worse state with scratches and even more dents. For the price point of £220 the shoes are not worth the quality.
Steve madden customer service, everything sucks and poor
Steve madden customer service, the most unreliable and rude and do not respond.
Also shipping service was the slowest and I had mentioned to them to not bother shipping as I had already travelled and they still went ahead and delivered to who knows where and I am not around. Very useless company! They better go back and retrieve and refund my
money!
Part order missing - no effective way to contact customer service
Delivered 4 out of 5 ordered items. Impossible to contact customer service. Useless ‘chat’ service which states the response will follow within 2 hours - doesnt happen.
No phone number. No effective method to contact or raise concerns.
Substandard quality shoes, will be returning all; luckily paid by PayPal so there’s an option to obtain refund that way.
Ghastly shopping experience - wouldn’t recommend.
Thank you for think from Steve Madden…
Thank you for think from Steve Madden everything fit perfectly and thank you so much and order was on time
Absolutely brilliant service
Absolutely brilliant service. Got them next day after ordering . Love my trainers . I will use again
Website says orders received by 4pm…
Website says orders received by 4pm will be delivered next day. 4 days later shoes finally arrive. Emailed customer svs 3 times asking for updates and information, answered 1 of them by stating that my shoes will be sent shortly. Had the cheek to email me today saying “good news your shoes are on their way”! Poor service. Never ordering again
Got the wrong size,returned them and…
Got the wrong size,returned them and got the right ones 5 days later excellent fast and reliable service. Would highly recommend.
The quality of the goods is not as shown
The quality of the goods is not what I saw in the picture the upper parry of the sandal is not shiny like the picture and the leather seems dubious / very hard. Don’t feel the sandals are value for money
Delivery took about a week
Delivery took about a week, which was a bit slower than expected. What stood out most was that one shoe was marked “Made in China” and the other “Made in Vietnam” — quite unusual and raised questions about consistency in quality control. The shoes themselves look fine, but the experience could have been smoother.
Beautiful quality & fit
Both orders were delivered within 3 days. The fit and quality were excellent. Really happy with my purchases.
Product doesn't match the website, and customer service is terrible.
The shoes I received don't match the picture on the website.
Customer service was really poor. I've sent 13 emails, talked to at least 5 different people, sent proof that nothing matches, and struggled to get an answer about whether it was a fluke, or whether the website imagery is actually wrong.
I received apologies, returns forms, but no actual answers. It's unbelievably frustrating.
Returning has been ok, but the system is ancient. You need a printer to manually fill in a returns form to include with the package, and print a label. And it has to be dropped off at a DPD location.
I mean honestly, I'm so disappointed. I absolutely adore the look of the shoes on the website, and 3 weeks later to still not know whether these shoes actually exist is driving me insane.
