Steve Madden Women's Candence Boot

I absolutely adore these boots! I was a little worried after reading about a squeak problem, the quality of leather and the narrow toe portion, but I decided to go ahead and order them anyways, as I have been searching for some tall black boots for a while without any success (either they were too narrow, or several hundred dollars). I got these on the mail yesterday and they are fantastic. The leather feels wonderful and I did not have any scuff marks or anything on my boots.

They were too cute to not wear and I was too impatient to wait and exchange them for a larger size, so I'm hoping they'll break in and fit better as well as lose the squeak. So because of the size and the squeak, I had to...Read more

I was looking for a pair of easy to slip on boots that had a low heel and were durable. These boots felt great because of the soft leather and fit like a glove when I put them on for the first time. I would recommend these if you usually rock a casual look, but still want to look down and go, "awww these boots are so cute!" :D
