Maybe it's just me but I thought that Madden sneaker was more of a fashion sneaker and not a walking sneaker.  If I were going to do some serious walking, I would buy a true walking shoe/athletic shoe.

 

These were just a fashion shoe to me that were a sneaker style since they are so trendy right now.    


I know it's more of a fashion sneaker, but if I'm going to go all casual and wear sneakers, they better be comfortable. Those Madden shoes looked stiff and not well made even in the presentation.

 

I'm not saying buy a running shoe in place of this. Nike, Adidas, and other athletic brands make tons of walking shoes that look more supportive and comfortable than these.

TY @Chi-town girl for posting this! I just ordered the white in 6.5. I want to order 2 whites & 1 silver but I'm not at all familiar with the fit. This is almost exactly how I would've designed these (except I would've made the mesh square, more tightly wover). If the fit is right, I'll order more even at the regular price (great price!).

 

I've been looking for a replacement for what I currently have which gives me a little bit of height and is also leather (I bought 4 pairs about 10+ years ago and I'm on my last pair). Although you cannot tell from the pic, when I saw your post, it reminded me of mine.

@Runner26, although the style is a bit different, these leather Keds reminded me of the ones in your photo. (keds.com)

these Steve Maddens are cheapo fluff sneaks.  Madden is just cashing in on a trend and the metallic trend as well.  if you want comfortable white sneakers i rec all leather Stan Smiths. the Stan Smiths  revival kicked off this trend a couple yrs ago.   they come in white w/green trim if yu hate the green they are also all white or w/navy and and red.  i see they have black now. and silver. 

 


Love Stan Smith.

 

I'm hoping the Madden shoes work for me. My IMAN orders were transferred back to UPS today after they transferred to USPS on Friday, lol. UPS should be delivering my IMAN orders & the Madden shoes today. 


Did you receive yours yesterday Chi?  I 'd like your take.  I think they are so cute, but I am just not sure about them due to sizing and not being super comfy.  They would be cute just for fashion though.


@winamac1 and all -

I LOVE these shoes. I have an average size foot, wear size 8 and they fit well! They are so darn cute. 

 

Like @winamac1, I do notice a bit slip on the heel on the right shoe. My foot doesn't slip out of the shoe, so it's not a big issue. I wore them around the house last night for about 1/2 hr and it seemed less of an issue the more I wore it. I might put one of those heel cushions from Foot Petals on the right shoe. It's something that could help those experiencing some slip.

 

I think the rose gold are stunning. They look really cute with jeans but also with the IMAN palm print TS pants. I also rec'd my IMAN orders so I was playing Barbie last night Woman LOL

 

These are def fashion shoes, not athletic. I'm thinking about getting the white. The mesh panels will make them nice for summer

Glad you like yours.  I decided to keep the white.  The gold are SO cute, but they slip. I'll probably send those back.

 

Check out a pair I saw on a girl at one of the offices I call on...puma fenty sneakers by rihanna.  I can't post a link or I'll get banned.  SO CUTE!  I like both colors, but I have to decide on one.  She had the army green on! Smiley Happy

TY @jonbon! I saw that shoes but the weird different me likes the more boxy-type shoes.

 

BTW, the 6.5 is a bit big but I am keeping it because it's the cutest shoes. I should've stayed with my size 6.  I am always a size 6 except a 6.5 in running shoes. One time I ordered a bearpaw boots and all the reviewers stated to size up a size and I got a size 7 and couldn't wear them.
