balletboot Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) I picked up some new steve madden (kare) boots this weekend from nordstrom rack and i wore them out shopping today! I was originally unsure about the orange laces but after receiving 4 compliments on them just today! I don't think I will be changing them out. They are very comfortable I think I might have to order them in the other colors. Edited October 11, 2022 by balletboot Spelling 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a fan of ankle boots. They are very comfortable, just over a 4 inch heel. Although I have noticed the heel flexes just enough that I can hear it slide/ straighten when the weight starts to be released off the heel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think it flexes in towards the shoe. I can't imagine it moves more than a 1/16th -1/8th of an inch. It's very subtle but I can hear it when I release weight off the heel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the shank is a little more flexible than one would like. I've never had a Steve Madden catastrophically fail on me, but then I haven't really ever put a pair through any kind of endurance test, either. All of my Maddens are dressier, flimsier shoes than what I would normally put serious miles on. Your boots look like they could easily do some serious mileage, so I guess time will tell! Keep an eye on how the heel tips are wearing compared to your other shoes, that will tell you a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the black ankle booties that are a lower quality brand. I didn't notice it in the store on carpet but once on a smooth surface I noticed. I might just try changing to a better heel tip see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I have a pair of Stuart Weitzman I just got, and the heel flexes. I wonder if it's like a boat, where flexing is better than rigidity, to a point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the sound and the heel tip wearing out quicker from it springing back straight every step I'm sure it's not to big of a deal. Just more of an annoyance.

Glad to hear your Maddens are sound. I evidently did not read the previous posts carefully enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it will not fix the problem but it should be alittle piece of mind untill if/when the problem gets worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
