These Steve Madden shoes were purchased for an 8 year old girl to use as indoor school shoes. Usually she is 1 or 1.5 but I decided to buy 2 so she can grow into them. Upon arrival she liked the look of the shoes but immediately showed me that her toe was pinched at the bottom. The shoe is clearly closer to a size 1 or 1.5 than a size 2. Also, the gray fabric on the toe box is very stained, with part of the fabric sticking out that doesn't appear to be fully 'taped'. at the front of the shoe. As this was already a replacement item for another return I have no plans to return the item but I think buyers should be aware that they may be small. The only benefit of this shoe is that the insole is made of a durable memory foam lining, which is much more comfortable than another similar pair from a competitor brand. Update: I bought the next size up (2 to 3) and they are still great. I hope that the manufacturer takes note that the sizes are very different from other sellers. The soles of these shoes also seem to be dirt magnets. I understand they are light in color and obviously look dirtier than others, but these get dirty immediately with minimal use by my kids. I'm happy with the price I paid but I think Steve Madden could definitely improve the quality of the sole and the size of the shoe. Update #2: The back of these shoes hurts both of my kids feet. I've given these a chance to be helpful, but when I start seeing blisters, even with kids wearing socks with them, I know they're wrong.
