" My fellow Shoe-A-Holics, when I saw these shoes I had to have them; my only dilemma was which color I should buy! I had owned a pair of shoes similar to these in college, but instead of opting for my usual black, I decided to go with a fall favorite, cognac.
The Style: These shoes have style to the nines! From the structured heel to the sizeable platform, the cut out pattern on the vamp to the rich suede color and feel, this is definitely one of my most stylish pumps for the fall! The 5.25-inch heel is manageable enough for me, and while the platform may lessen the height, the smooth outsole could be an issue for an inexperienced heel walker (see note under ‘Other Considerations’).
The Fit: When I tried these on, right out of the box they were perfect: the length, the width and the arch support. At that time, I thought these could be the perfect Steve Madden shoes! But my opinion has changed slightly after having worn these beauties out and about. The width wasn’t too much of a concern for me, although there was a slight pinching the more I walked in these shoes; but I think the pinching was a result of my foot sliding forward in the shoe (strange, because the insole was no different than any other pair of Maddies I own), which created a feeling that my heel was going to ‘pop’ right out of the shoe if I walked too fast. I shall have to invest in a pair of ‘anti-slip’ pads for my next wear.
I have heard it said by my ‘style insiders’ that as you go up in height (with the heel of the shoe) you should go down in size (in terms of length of the shoe) in order to stabilize the heel; I bought my usual size 10 (as most of my shoes from Steve Madden are). I haven’t made this a practice (of sizing down) because I have long toes. This having been said, with the shift forward of my foot, my toes started to do more than just ‘peek’ through the ‘peep-toe’.
Other Considerations: For my maiden voyage in these peep-toe pumps, I wore them shopping. Not a big mistake, but I didn’t realize that there wasn’t a textured outsole, so I had to walk with an abundance of caution while on the tiled floors of the mall.
In Summary: Although I really loved the shoes, they are not as ‘amazing’ as they looked, or as I had imagined they were going to be; so while they are high on style (I give them a 5 out of 5 for the rich fabric upper, the deep color, the cut outs, the structured heel and platform), I have to down-rate them for comfort (I give them a 2 out of 5 due to the following: non-textured outsole, the ‘slippery’ insole and the pinching because my feet did not remain stationary in the shoe) = 7 out of a possible 10!

Love at first sight!
" Once I opened the box, it was love at first sight. The suede material was soft and comfy. The heels on these shoes are high, but comfortable. These are my first pair of shoes that I can honestly tell people that my feet do not hurt. "
