Steve Madden 4.009146 5 Average Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars.

You don’t become one of America’s most successful shoe designers overnight. It takes years of incredibly hard work and commitment, which is something Steve Madden knows very well. After launching his own company in 1990 on a $1,100 budget in Queens, New York, Steve knew he had his work cut out for him. Luckily, his gumption, creativity, business savvy and years of experience in the footwear industry paid off. Today Steve Madden shoes and boots are among the most sought after in the world. After more than two decades in the biz, the brand has even expanded to include Steve Madden clothing and accessories, too.
