My first 'big girl' shoe was a pair from Steve Madden. And for many consumers, the brand is a first for them, too. That's because the prominent footwear brand has long provided stylish picks (and luxury alternatives) at an attainable price point since it first launched in the '90s.
If you've noticed some similarities in the brand's shoes and designer footwear, you're not alone. While Steve Madden himself didn't confirm nor deny the intention behind these designs in a recent viral interview, we can confirm one thing: Steve Madden has made trends more affordable to the masses.
From ankle booties to strappy sandals, Steve Madden has long presented a wide offering of styles to choose from (even some clothing and accessories, too). We recently spent a lot of time digging through deals on the site to put together a handy shopping guide.
While the list of shoes goes on and on, we searched through the sale section to find you the best styles to shop. Keep reading to discover the best Steve Madden shoes on sale, with picks starting at just $40.
Best Steve Madden shoes on sale
A little bit of sparkle never hurts. This slip-on sandal dresses up your ordinary slide with a chunky rhinestone buckle that you can adjust to your liking.
Although winter is far in the past, it's never too early to shop for cozy booties. In fact, now is the best time to while they're on sale (and in stock).
The Mayven sandal might look like a luxury favorite, but it offers more than meets the eye. That includes the molded footbed, adjustable top strap, among other features that make it more than just a stylish pick.
Ballet core is a predicted summer fashion trend, and these ballerina-inspired Mary Jane flats are a good opportunity to try it out for yourself.
Don't let the strappy lace-up design intimidate you — the Demure sandal promises stability. From the square-toe to the chunky block heel, you should be strutting with ease.
Because a good sneaker can elevate an outfit, wear the Mirage shoe to add a pop of color (or neutral) to your outfit without sacrifing your comfort.
We're not always in the mood for shoelaces. This low-top sneaker just requires you to slip it on, so it's perfect for when you need to quickly head out the door.
A kitten heel offers additional height like a standard heel, all without the discomfort. This pick is just two inches, and has a sling-back design for added support.
While common for fall and winter, we'd argue that you can wear loafers year-round. We're loving this version because of its sturdy sole and chunky platform.
Here's another kitten heel you can shop, except in a thong flip-flop style that's another style trend to look out for this summer. It comes in multiple colors and materials to dress up your wardrobe.
You get the best of both worlds with the Delvie bootie: The style of an ankle boot, and the comfort (and tiny bit of height) of a kitten heel.
If you prefer a true high heel, this mule-style shoe is worth playing around with, with over three inches in height. The bubble strap adds a nice statement.
It seemed like leopard print was the choice for fall and winter, and we predict it will still be trendy this summer. We picture it for dressy events or nights out.
'Ruskin' is very true with this moto boot, as it has a vintage flare that we can't get enough of. According to the brand, they're durable, comfortable and functional.
You might also see cowboy boots everywhere this season (and all year long). If you prefer a more sophisticated approach, this bootie hits right at the ankle and is just two inches in height.
