I would love to give you more stars, but unfortunately I was unable to complete a return on time due to illness, so now I'm stuck with it... Nevertheless, everything else was fine.

I thought the shoes were very nice. However, they were too big (I ordered my usual size). In addition, when they were delivered, I noticed that they didn’t have regular laces but were elastic slip-on... See more

I never got my order

I never got my order. They send them retour before I got them. Then I asked for a new code for the 20% discount I ordered them. That was not possible. So I did not ordered again.

not what i expected

I ordered my shoes and instead of my house number they wrote my postcode. So the address didn’t exist.
My shoes went returned to the warehouse.
But ilia had to send 3 emails before I got my money returned.
It took 3 weeks.
I was planning to order them again by having my money back on my account but after all I won’t because it took to much effort. After talking about my experience with Steve Madden, my friend showed her shoes which were completely broken after one mom of wearing them.

The customer service was very helpful

The customer service was very helpful! Thanks guys! You made my day by returning all of the money, because my sneakers broke down after only 1 year. What a great service! I ordered new shoes (other model) and now these are my new favorite ones! Can’t thank you enough!

Bad customer service after sales

I’ve purchased 2 pairs of shoes, one of the boxes had the wrong shoes inside. When contacted customer service the response was, nothing we can do just please return it to us ( and on top of this I need to pay the return 11Eur)!!
After a back and forth chain of email I was offered 10% off in the next purchase, that in no way helped with my issue!! very very poor customer service and lack of organization. Sending the wrong pair of shoes only shows poor stock management and shocking return policy !

My sandals died after 4 days of wearing

First of all, I want to say that I really love Steve Madden shoes, and 80% of my footwear is from this brand. Unfortunately, my latest sandals (Bonkers Sandal) only lasted 4 days before the sole cracked. At the shoe repair shop, they said that only glue could help. They were glued, but it only lasted for 2 days before the sole cracked again. Unfortunately, it became impossible to wear them. The sandals were purchased in January, I started wearing them in May, and the sole cracked in May. Therefore, a return was not possible. It's sad because these sandals looked really pretty and I got a lot of compliments. Delivery and other stuff were fast and good.

I received a gift card from a friend…

I received a gift card from a friend and used it to order shoes in early July. I completed the checkout process, and the money was deducted from my gift card, but I never received an order confirmation. To date, I haven’t received the package, and the money is gone. I had brief contact with customer service, but they have been ignoring my emails ever since. This is not what I expected from such a well-known brand. I won’t be ordering from them again, and as an influencer with 2M+ followers, I will make sure to share this experience widely. :-)

Be for real

No indication of size in the description, hence bag came double the size I was expecting it to be.
Naturally I didn’t return it, because the return would cost 10.50€ plus the 3.95 I already paid for shipping, meaning +25% on the actual cost of the bag.
I mean be for real.
