Steve Madden’s designs are youthful and fresh, and his sandals are colorful and chic. They also come at a great price point — the Silky slides are comparable to Rihanna Fenty sandals at a fraction of the cost. Whether you are in the market for some chunky heels like the Carson, or gladiator sandals with a killer heel like Slither, there’s something for every occasion. Sporty sandals will take you from the beach to the bistro, while bejeweled strappy styles are wedding perfect. The range of styles are made from a variety of materials including leather, suede, textiles and faux snakeskin in a rainbow of colors.
