One thing about Who What Wear editors is that we can't resist a good shoe. Whether it's a splurge-worthy designer pair of heels or a simple, no-frills ballet flat, our editors try and buy hundreds of pairs of shoes a year. One brand we reach for time and again? Steve Madden. While the fashion-forward brand has doled out an assortment of handbags, accessories, and ready-to-wear pieces over the years since taking off in the '90s, Steve Madden shoes remain at the forefront of the label's DNA, with the brand churning out dozens of chic, luxe-looking pairs each season. Sign us up.
I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of editor-approved picks from the brand. Below, I handpicked some of my favorites, including knee-high platform boots (a favorite of Gen Z), ankle boots, block-heel sandals, and even one very bold pair of mesh flats I've incorporated into my own closet. Happy shopping!
Starting off this list strong with these impeccably chic poolside sandals that'll have your besties thinking you jumped tax brackets.
This elegant silhoutte has captured my heart this season.
Our editor Jasmine has these and says, I quote, "They're some of the sexiest shoes I own."
These flats went viral on TikTok last year, and now I'm scrambling for my own pair.
Under $50? Sign me up.
Steve Madden's Kari pumps are best sellers for a reason—you can literally wear them with anything in your closet.
No joke, at least five of our editors (including our editor in chief, Kat Collings!) own this pair.
