About Us

Steve Madden has grown from a footwear startup into a globally recognized fashion brand known for bold, trend-driven design. The company began in 1990 with a $1,100 investment and a factory in Queens, New York. Inspired by music, street culture and New York individuality, Steve Madden built its identity around expressive footwear and fashion that stands out. 

Women's footwear remains at the center of the brand. Current collections include heels, loafers, flats, boots, booties, sneakers, sandals, wedges, platforms, mules, slides and wide-calf boots. From everyday sneakers to statement heels, the assortment covers a wide range of occasions and personal styles. 

Steve Madden has also developed into a broader lifestyle destination. Women's clothing includes dresses, jumpsuits, tops, shirts, bottoms, denim, jackets, coats and matching sets, while handbags range from crossbody bags and shoulder bags to mini bags, clutches and top-handle styles. 

Men's collections combine fashion-forward footwear with practical wardrobe options. Current categories include boots, sneakers, loafers, dress shoes, casual shoes, sandals and slides. Kids can also find sneakers, boots, sandals and special-occasion footwear designed around current trends. 

Accessories complete the brand's fashion-focused offering, with jewelry, sunglasses, hats, scarves, wallets, bag charms, socks, tights and shoe-care products available alongside its footwear and apparel. The result is a collection that makes it possible to build an entire look around the distinctive Steve Madden aesthetic.
