Steve Madden Heels

[DProud2700]

Has anyone looked at the current Steve Madden heels with the rear zippered heels.  If so what are your thoughts on them?  Are they worth getting?

Something tells me zippers are kind of "iffy" at best when used on a jacket - less than enthused they are now part of footwear

However, zippers are relatively easy to replace unless you had a particular styling in mind.

I just ordered a pair of the Steve Madden STS heels in a size 11m finally.  They were getting difficult to find in that size.

i wanted the Dejavu pump in black but they come in sizes up to 11 and i'm a 12.  what a downer!

Payless had a pump like that out awhile back called the Hydrogen . They were sold under the Brash brand and to size 13 . I have a pair in size 12 and they look great with jeans. Not sure how you feel about ebay , you may check there. I wish you the best of luck .

I have had about 7 or 8 pairs of heels with rear zippers, including one pair of Maddens. I love them especially on the very strappy sandal types, for ease of putting on and taking off. The zippers on two of the pair did break, I think one brand was called "Classified" and the other was "Hot Tomato". Never had a problem with the Madden zipper, and I spent more time in the maddens than all the other zipper heels combined. -- my two cents Dude

check his webpage, da%$^& although some nice shoes they make it again, too low sizes... i hate it... i love also inked.com shoes, as i pretty often see good cool styles on FB, but i cant buy them cuz size is too low... same here and a lot another places... how i hate that i have so big feet...

I have some pumps that uses the zipper digits as decoration, but as to having to use a zipper fastening on footwear other than boots, I view it as ridiculous.

I bought a pair in size 11 (EU42, largest available). I'm very much in love with them but they where just a tad too small :cry1 so I had to send them back. They looked amazing in my opinion.

Rear zipper ankle boots are actually pretty cool.  I own a couple of pairs and love how they look.   They're super easy to get in and out of, too. 

 

Just make sure they use a solid heavy duty zipper with larger interlocking teeth as it does seem to have more stress on the zipper being in that location.  My wife had a pair with a cheaper standard thin type of zipper that did not work too well for her and after only a few times worn one of the boot zippers totally broke.

 

However, not sure if the original post was talking about pumps (rather than boots) with zippers in back.  If so, I don't get the point of those.  Also, not sure why we there are a few later posts talking about Dejavu pumps which are completely off the topic  lol

My experiences with Steve Madden heels are ' hit or miss '. I have 3 pairs.

 

One pair I wore out for 1 evening and the bottoms were toast. I started a thread on here about it with pictures.

 

The Second pair are ' ok ' but their lifespan isnt that great. Im going to say they have a weeks worth of wearing and they stretched and started to come apart.

 

The 3rd pair was small in its sizing compared to the other 2. I gave them to my wife as we are a half size difference ( hers being smaller ).

 

If Steve Madden has something I like and believe its something I might desire to wear, I will buy 2 of whatever it is because I know they wont last *me* that long. They offer some nice looking products, but I think their durability isnt as good as say Guess or NineWest from my experiences.
