Madden Girl Women's Getta Pump

I work in an environment that basically requires heels. I wear 3-4" heels 9 hours a day, 5 days a week. I thought I'd worn some uncomfortable shoes before but no... even my worst pair were like walking on clouds compared to these. They seemed ok at first but by the end of the first day I noticed some hot spots. I thought maybe they just needed to be broken in... nope! Long story short I now have the start of a bunion and a small cyst on my Achilles from these shoes. I have replacements of another brand on the way then these are going in the trash!

I bought these to wear at my wedding and I ended up wearing on old pair of heels from my closet. I tried them on initially after I bought them and they fit fine, but that was only for a minute. Two days before my wedding I went to break in these shoes and after wearing them for a few hours my feet went numb. The shoes were very tight and not flexible or breathable. My feet hurt and sweated so bad I decided to grab a pair of tired and true heels I already own to wear for my wedding (they were black pumps I wear to work). You couldn't see them under my dress anyways. I have purchased this brand before with no issues, so maybe I just got a bad pair. I wouldn't recommend these shoes if you will be on your feet at all. Additionally, the white scuff off easily. I didn't return them because I scuffed them while walking around my house.

Some years I collect heels, and other years I purge heels. Somewhere in the mix, I forgot that I love Madden Girl pumps, and I forgot that I never bought a pair of plain black high heels. Amazon to the rescue! A friend inspired me to buy platforms and I only agreed to buy if I could find platforms that were not obnoxious, and these are perfect.First, I fell in love with Getta's simplicity. Second, I fell in love with the price. After choosing black out of practicality (I need them for a gown that I am wearing in a few months), I combed the reviews for sizing recommendations. Big thank you to the ladies before me who recommended a half size smaller! My narrow size 8 feet fit perfectly in the 7.5 pumps. In the near future I will be wearing these all day for a special event, so I am breaking these in now.I have learned that the shank is nice and sturdy, I feel and appreciate their support. The toe box fits my feet well (my skinny feet are easily compressible and my 2nd and 3rd toes are both longer than my big toe), so I do not need to stretch them out. The heel is solid and doesn't feel like it is going to snap from under me. The vamp is a little short, and I don't like seeing toe cleavage, so I will just keep my feet off of the banquet table like a normal adult. The toe is upturned a little bit, and it makes walking very easy and comfortable. The sole's traction is minimal, but not slick, just use caution if you're not used to the soles. Otherwise all of the stitches and constructive details are well done, nothing seems to have been overlooked.I am very pleased with these pumps, and have already purchased a second color.A longer vamp would be nice, but it's not a big deal. I look forward to buying a third pair.

Let me preface this review by saying I hardly wear heels of any sort, save wedges. I'm not the most graceful and I just find flats are cooler and more cute/comfy. That being said, these are pretty cute and really comfortable. The height is low and stable enough for them to be manageable, but not so low that they look frumpy or unflattering to the leg line. I needed a budget neutral colored shoe for a Modcloth polka dot chiffon dress I'm wearing to a wedding (this dress sounds hideous in theory, but is actually really cute). The silver/multi-colored glitter color I got is pretty and versatile, if a tad cheap looking, but that's to be expected with the price point/brand. They are absolutely cute enough and wearable though and a reasonable price for what they are. I found they ran slightly large however. I wear a narrower 7 1/2-8 usually. I got an 8M and these are big on me. Not so long and wide that I'm going through the trouble of returning them, but large enough that my foot comes out of them sometimes when walking. Not terrible though. Again, cute enough and comfortable for heels. I will probably get these in other colors for this reason and because they are relatively inexpensive. I also like the slight pin up/classic vibe they have.

This is actually a good review. These shoes were GORGEOUS! I normally wear a 8 or and 8.5 C/D, which is wide. So I ordered these in a 9 wide just to be sure they would be super as they are going to a very important event. When I took them out of the box, I was positively giddy! They were beautifully made, lovely color (Black Paris), then my dream ended. I tried the shoes on and could just barely get my feet into them. They were a tad too short from heel to toe and way to small in the width area. Normally, I can do an 8 C/D or even 8.5 C/D and be just fine, but I couldn't even wear these 9 C/D shoes for 10 minutes. I did return them and since my event is day after tomorrow, I can't take a chance that the next largest wide pair would work, so I went with another brand, just for this event. I put the next size up 10 C/D in this FANTASTIC shoe in my wish list and they are in my next top 3 purchases. Lovely shoes, beautifully made, a little breath-taking when you see then in Black Paris, so they are coming my way very soon!!!

Good quality shoe but slightly larger size than stated

These are three inch high heel pumps that come in pure black in glossy finish. You easily chose your size online since the brands has UK sizes that fit as expected. The pumps look really smart, chic and are instantly likeable because of their solid build and are well balanced when worn.Since, Steve Madden uses a different variety of leather, these pumps have slightly tight and hard leather which will take its time to loosen and take shape. It also means that it will not go lose, get wrinkles or lose shape easily. I received the product in Madden Girl box, just wish there was show bag provided with it. It's important to keep these heels away from dust since it might pick up scratches easily. I bought this pair from Amazon at 50% discount for Rs 2250 against original floe ice of 4500/-These go well with denims dresses. These are a must have black pumps.

PROS: The quintessential black patent pumps by Steve Madden. No surprises for design and quality, both were quite top notch. I was pleasantly surprised by how easily I could maintain my balance while walking in these 3.5 inch heels (because I usually twist my foot/trip awkwardly in high heels).CONS: However, sizing is really an issue. My feet size is a 5.5 UK, I find 6 UK to be most comfortable especially when wearing pumps. Even though after reading the reviews here I bought 5UK size, they were loose and I had to add an insert for it to fit well. Even then the left shoe felt a wee bit loose.VERDICT: Size aside, this is a shoe worth having in your collection. I bought this for Rs 1350, which is a steal.

Love the shoes, but they do fit really big. I ordered 6.5, which is my usual size, but these fit closer to a 7. I read the reviews about them fitting big but was hesitant to order a smaller size. Wish I had. I added some heel inserts and they do help a bit, at least I can keep them on my feet. The toe box is pretty small and they are far from being the most comfortable. I picked these up for a good price so I’m not too upset.

I am usually a size 6 and these fit almost as expected but were just slightly big. The first time I wore these was for a graduation where I had to stand for ~2 hours, then walk about a kilometre, then sat for ~2 hours. By the time I was sitting I had some mega blisters on my heels and it was very painful. They do take time to break in but I have now worn them about 4 times and I did not get a blister the 4th time.
