What's New in the Steve Madden Ladies Wedge Sandals Collections?

The Steve Madden ladies wedge sandals collections include the high heeled Tatiana design that retails for just under 0 and offers a funky design that resembles a boot, but it's all open, with a zipper and lots of sassy leather straps. The 4.5 inch heel is wood and has a 1 inch platform under the front part of the toes and the black or brown leather upper part contrasts with the lighter wood heel to create a very funky look. This is a casual design, ideal for wearing with skirts, shorts, and even long summer dresses, especially the ones that have slits and show a little leg. There's another similar design, by similar I mean rather chunky, that's called the Tuscaan and retails for about . It's somewhat heavy looking because of the 4 inch wooden wedge and platform that leads to a leather upper with gold accents and a large buckle that secures t the ankle and rivets on the sides where there is a sort of armor-like toe guard. It's very funky, but has a somewhat Roman sandal feeling, although in fact it's not a gladiator design as such.

Totally different, is the lower heeled ladies shoes that have leather around the upper part of the foot while leaving the front open, in fact there's juts a toe loop or small strap where your toe slides around the totally open area. One of the funkiest styles is called Radiantt. It has a.5 inch heel, in other words just a slight wedge, but the upper area is suede and comes in great new colors like purple, cognac or turquoise. It's a casual design that can be dressy depending on what you're wearing because the suede has small studs that sparkle and give it a bit of glam. In this same casual-dressy low wedge sandal style are about 5 other styles that compete for top place because each has something unique. The Wavverly is a design that looks somewhat like a Native American Moccasin yet is a sandal with a sexy open toe. The Roombaa is a leather boot style with cutouts on the sides and lots of metallic studs but also with an open toe and a low wedge. A really funky pair of ladies shoes for pairing with jeans. The other styles in this collection include Thunnder and Vandeta which are really unusual yet practical. Thunder has a mesh style upper that closes with a zipper at the back of the ankle but is open in front with a toe strap and nothing else. This and the Radiantt are the cheapest wedges in the collection, which retail for under , while the Vandeta is priced like most of the others in the to 0 range. What's always great about shopping for Steve Madden wedge shoes and sandals is the variety, from casual beach sandal to trendy platform, but this season there are also some classic elegant designs that could even be considered eveningwear and may be an option when looking for bridal sandals. The gorgeous sexy wedge called the Fauntain, and retails for about , is a creamy peeptoe pump that has a slingback strap and a decorative flower at the front. It's a high heeled design with a woven style covered heel, which would be great for a beach wedding sandal. Then there's the Dazzler sandal which is perfect as a prom shoe because it has a decorative central T-strap with circular gemstones as accents on the silver leather. The wedge is super high but since it's a platform it's still comfy. Actually the color isn't really silver but pewter and the gemstones are pearly beads and sparkling rhinestones. Very Cool!
