About Steve Madden

Few brands have an origin story that’s as New York as this one. In 1990, Steve Madden started his company with $1,100 in his pocket and a trunk full of shoes he sold himself. From Queens, it grew into one of the best-known names in fashion footwear, built on one principle: take the trend from the runway and bring it to the streets quickly and affordably. Steve Madden doesn’t follow fashion—it moves with it: chunky sneakers, bold platforms and statement shoes that appear as soon as they’re hot. The brand grew so large that it now generates billions in revenue and has become a staple in many a sneaker collection. So this isn’t a subtle heritage story, but pure American energy and pace. And with trend-driven models like these, prices can vary enormously from one retailer to another. On Solezilla, you can compare the full Steve Madden range from dozens of shops in one place and find your size at the best price.
