Steve Madden Addie

My Review of the Steve Madden Addie

Awe... what a "sweet" little shoe...

Seriously, this shoe is a good-bad-girl through and through. Between her exotic print and four inch wedge heel, you can't go wrong with the Steve Madden Addie.

Other features include a cushioned footbed and a rubber outsole...

The Steve Madden Addie will either bring a conservative outfit to life or will push a fast and furious one over the edge. It will go with your favorite little black dress or comfortable jeans.

Do try to wear these wedges with a solid print though; they have enough action on their own!

Here's a photo of the Steve Madden Addie:

The Addie is such a new shoe that customer reviews aren't yet available-- Be the first!

Blue for an Espadrille? Franco Sarto Question

My Review of the Franco Sarto Question Wedge Espadrille Sandal

If you have been looking for an answer to your summer sandal longings, it has arrived: The Franco Sarto Question. This lovely wedge is available in SIX different colors: Berry, Black, Brown, Cream, Red, and True Turquoise.

Each shoe is made using Thai Silk and has a 3 1/2 heel. The ankle straps are stylish, but are also made for a secure fit. For your comfort, the footbed is also padded and the sole of this espadrille is made of a non-skid material.

My favorite color is the True Turquoise. Luckily, this color of the wedge sandal is on sale for $79.95 (through this Friday). After Friday, it will be back up to $82.95, so don't miss out!

This adorable wedge sandal provides a whimsical and stylish feeling to your favorite skirt or chinos. The wrap around straps are so cute that I'm going to post two photos of these, so you'll have both views.

Cute sexy espadrille - It's such cute sexy shoes!

Reviewer: Anonymous from Connecticut

Surprisingly comfortable - The heel is stiff, so I expected to get a blister, but I had these on all day and my feet were surprisingly comfortable. The arch support was good, and they made my size 10 feet look smaller. The grosgrain ribbons didn't slip around, which can be a problem for shoes that tie. They kept the shoe from slipping around and rubbing uncomfortably. I like the brown color a lot, and the material is very elegant. I wouldn't recommend them for wide feet though, since it seems like the toe piece would rub uncomfortably on feet that don't slide into it naturally. A good summer shoe for skirts, jeans, whatever.

Steve Madden Shoes: Cristan Wedge

My Review of the Steve Madden Cristan Wedge Shoe

Talk about a great wedge shoe! This shoe goes beyond the typical wedge with its velvety appearance and peep toe. It's a little tuxedo for your foot.

Styled after high end designer shoes, this Steve Madden wedge will bring you the feel of luxury at a reasonable price.

It's made with suede or leather and has a four inch stacked wedge. The bottom of the shoe is made for comfort with a crepe rubber outsole.

One thing that makes this shoe special is the great colors that it comes in: brown suede, natural suede, black suede, and red suede. There's nothing more sexy with a party dress than suede wedge shoes. Steve Madden has hit his mark with this grown up shoe.

Reviewer: Anonymous from Atlanta, Georgia

Finally - the perfect shoe! My eternal quest for the perfect shoe has finally ended with this one. This shoe is HOT! It's so hip and perfect for work or going out. It is super high but a good stable platform. I will say it runs about 1/2 size smaller than usual. I am an 8.5 and I have found that usually when people say the size smaller than marked - it's not true. With this shoe - it's true! The 8.5 is VERY snug but as the other reviews state -that does keep it from slipping off. If you get your "true" size just expect blisters the first time. I think these will stretch out fine though. I have this in black and the color contrast with the wood is really striking. Classy but super cool!

So cute but tight - This shoe is incredibly adorable. I looked for it in stores with no success in locating my size in red but of course Zappos had it and got it to me fast. The shoe is pretty snug on; I usually wear an 8 1/2 and bought that size but when I first put them on was afraid I would have to send them back. . . however, they do stretch out fairly nicely since they're suede. A great shoe - just don't plan on wearing them too long as there isn't any padding for the ball of your foot. Still, the pain is worth looking cute, no?

DKNY Shoes: DKNY Delphine Mule

My Review of the DKNY Delphine Mule

Wow, this is a fabulous shoe! I have been saving this one for a few days, hoping that someone would write a customer review...

This wedge will go with just about anything, anytime you want to be noticed. It's classy and stylish and as long as cork doesn't go completely out of style, this shoe will last for years.

This a jeans, little black dress, long skirt, short skirt kind of shoe. This shoe is made from leather and the wedge platform is made of cork. It's got a 3 inch heel with a rubber sole to prevent slipping.

To top it off, this wedge is tied with a knot- the elegance of the slide and the black leather make this shoe a classic. It reminds me of an updated version of a shoe that an actress would have worn in the 40's. Donna Karan's styling is wonderful on this wedge slide. Love it!

Here's a photo of this lovely shoe, the DKNY Delphine Mule:

Betsey Johnson Madison Wedge Espadrille

My Review of the Betsey Johnson Madison Wedge Espadrille

In addition to keeping our handbags up to date, Betsey Johnson is also focused on our feet this summer. Your collection just won't be complete without the Betsey Johnson Madison espadrille.

It is a sweet woven wedge that perfectly compliments a flouncy skirt or denim capris. They are cute, sexy, and ready for anything. In addition, they'll answer your prayers and make your feet look smaller!

These espadrilles are made from a women fabric and they have a braided wrap that ties around the ankle. The toe is covered, so don't expect to get getting a sandal; this is dressier. The lining and sole of this shoe are leather for comfort.

On Zappos, 100% of customers surveyed said that the Betsey Johnson Madison espadrille "felt true to size" and "felt true to width." I don't know that I've ever seen a shoe to receive 100% in both of these categories.

Fantabulous! These espadrilles are amazing! First of all, they fit my normal size 7 foot perfectly, and they make my feet look two sizes smaller. Secondly, I can't wear them without constantly being stopped by strangers to compliment me on my shoes and to ask where I found them. I have the turquoise which I just love, and I am ordering another pair in natural right now. My neighbor and best friend have them in coral. I would wear these everyday, but people would think I'm nuts.

Olson - These shoes are cute, comfortable and the hottest thing around. I bought them from another store before Zappos had them (but) would have purchased them from Zappos if I'd seen them there first. I'd have them in every color if I could. Very well made and make your feet look small.

Anne Klein Shoes: Anne Klein New York Dunes

My Review of the Anne Klein New York Dunes Wedge Sandal

The Anne Klein New York Dunes Wedge Sandal is a more flashy version of the traditional wedged sandal. With it's gold, snake skin textured leather, it's made for a serious night on the town.

The wedge is 4 inches and made of cork. The footbed is padded and the sole is made of leather. It has criss cross gold straps and a tiny gold buckle on the ankle.

I imagine this shoe being paired with a black or white dress. Or, it could also go with white wide leg pants. It would be best out in a club or at a nice dinner.

This design is pretty atypical for Anne Klein, and is a great opportunity for Anne Klein shoe enthusiasts to try something a little more edgy.

LOVE these kicks! My size was sold out in Neiman Marcus. But lucky for me, ZAPPOS had it in stock! Since it's a wedge, it's VERY comfy despite the height. I wear them everywhere, goes with everything -- these are the BEST shoes. Awesome summer sandal.
