Founded in 1990, Steve Madden never fails at an aesthetic that's an effortless blend of cool and edgy. Drawing inspiration from the worlds of rock 'n' roll and high fashion, the irreverent New York brand consistently creates innovative, trend-forward shoes, clothing and accessories for women, men and kids. Although the tone is youthful, Steve Madden designs balance whimsy with pragmatism.
After searching for the Carrson in blue for a long time in my size, I finally found them on Nordstrom! & on sale at that!! I even called a friend to let her know & she purchased a pair. Nordstrom delivered them to my house way faster than expected. Very happy with my purchase!

painful
I wanted to love these shoes because they are a classic but they are SO painful. Tried a few sizes and just couldn't find something that worked for comfort so they are going back.

Cute but needs inserts!
This shoe looks just like the pictures and is super cute both on and off, however it's a very high heel and lacks cushioning where the balls of your feet are. Trying the shoes right out of the box, they were immediately uncomfortable. I placed petal inserts and it made the shoe SO MUCH more tolerable and comfortable.
At the sale price and with some inserts placed, it's a winner! Looks great and makes you feel great! Now you just gotta make sure you don't kiss the floor!
As for sizing, I am usually a 6 and the 6 fit me perfectly. For the width, I found these to run similar to Steve Madden's "Stecy" sandals, so somewhat narrow. I do have skinny (narrow) feet and they fit well in these heels so may not be best for women with wide feet.

cute but uncomfy
These are super super cute but VERY VERY uncomfortable. Extremely uncomfortable. I couldn't wear them for more than 20 minutes at a time before they started killing my feet.

No
I wanted to like them but I could barely walk in them on top of my feet killing without even wearing them for an hour. So sad. Cute shoes

Beautiful style but terrible quality
I haven't walked around enough in these shoes to verify if they're as uncomfortable as all the other reviews state. I fell in love with the look of this shoe, and the one I tried on in store felt pretty comfortable and "walkable". However, I had to order half a size larger than my regular size, because I felt that my toes were too close to hanging off the box and I hate that look. When I received the size 6, I was very disappointed in the quality. One shoe had glue strings hanging off, and the other was dirty in the spacing between the rhinestones. They both look weird in the back (rhinestones not spaced evenly). I hadn't purchased Steve Madden shoes in a very long time, but I don't remember them being this low quality. I'm still debating whether I should keep them, because I really like the way they look. The bad quality might make me return them though- very disappointed.

BEST. SHOES. EVER!
BEST. SHOES. EVER! I searched everywhere for a comfortable, strappy heel and finally found it. What makes this shoe so great is the thick heel. It looks great and makes these shoes extremely comfortable. I've worn them several times to weddings and was able to walk/dance all night without any discomfort. Even the first time I wore them, they were still great. No need to really break them in, however, that's just my opinion. I bought the nude and black pair in a 9.5, which is my true size. I do have a fairly narrow foot and these shoes fit me perfectly, so I would make sure to take that into account, especially for those with wider feet.
