Steve Madden Women

With a company philosophy that promotes individuality, it's hardly surprising that Steve Madden footwear bears a boldly distinctive streak. From studded stilettos to statement-making trainers, each design embodies the "against all rules" sensibility that has earned the brand its place in the sartorial hall of fame.

Founded in 1990, the American label quickly garnered a reputation for its rock'n'roll-inspired styles – in particular, its signature flatform slides. Combining counter-culture influences with wearable fashion, they were an immediate hit with the 90s 'It crowd'. Why not channel some of that old-school charm with a pair of Steve Madden women's sandals, complete with a chunky heel? They're just the ticket for on-the-go days, particularly on balmy days. For cooler climes, look to boots with a thick rubber sole for an equally retro aesthetic.

If you prefer your shoes a little sleeker, why not try court heels or a slinky knee-high boot? Both add instant oomph to evening attire, whether it's a romantic date or a night on the dance floor. Then, the next day, you can give tired toes a break with Steve Madden women's trainers. These pared-back designs boast cushioned soles and stretchy mesh uppers, for comfort with an added dose of cool.
