Product Description

Madden amplifies the understated design of the Trace with subtle stitch detailing and a square-toe. Dual elastic goring.

Steve Madden, the company, was founded by Steve Madden, the man, in 1990 in Brooklyn, where he started out making trend-advancing shoes one pair at a time. It was not long after that the Steve Madden focus on "now-ness" earned rave reviews from young female fans mad for the funky, chic, and yet competitively priced footwear it produced. The company popularized the "dressy sneaker," and continues to man the forefront of trends.

Gorgeous color, great fit and comfort!

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

I absolutley love this shoes. THe picture does not do the color of grey justice. I absolutely love the color. Its not a light grey its a rich beautiful grey. Beware these shoes fit tight in regards to width until you wear them for a day or two. After that, they are amazingly comfortable. I will be purchasing exact same shoe in black very soon. Also, as recommended by others, order 1/2 size smaller than you would typically wear. I was skeptical at this at first, but with easy returns, I decided to follow the review advice. Its a perfect fit length wise, just remember, they are tight at first but break in quick and easy and are my favorite pair of dress shoes. I wear them all day, at least twice per week.

Great shoes, but not the same as Macy's

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

I've had 6 pairs of these (I -really- like them), but one thing others may want to note is that the one's on Amazon are not the same shoe as the ones available at Macy's and other department stores—I know, I own both (1 pr from Macy's, 5 from Amazon).

Both shoes are labeled the same and sizing is very close, but the critical difference that I've noticed is the heel and odor.

Department store version:
Solid heel that feels like wood or plastic; is not pliable and makes an authoritative 'click-click' (heel-toe) sound on any hard surface. After 6-8 months, the sole began separating from the shoe from about toe to arch—it is glued, rather than sewn, which is to be expect for a shoe in this price-range.

Amazon version:
Very soft heel, arguably more comfortable to walk distances. Also quieter on hard surfaces. Shoes developed a strong odor after about 5-6 months (other reviewer noted the same). Similar glue construction but less separation of sole from shoe.

Curiously, the department store shoes are the oldest pair I own and while they've developed some odor, it's not as strong as what I've found from the Amazon version.

Summary, Closing:
These are great shoes for the price. They wear well with dark denim jeans or a suit. I've received many complements on them. Just know they are not quite identical to the slightly higher-price department store version and be prepared to replace them in 6-12 months depending on how often they're worn.

these are nice and easy dress shoes

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018

Size: 8Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Overall, these are nice and easy dress shoes. I like being able to just throw these on and start my day. I wear a 9.5 sneaker and ordered these in a size 8, they fit well.

I have had these shoes for just under 3 months now, and worn them 5 days a week. I walk on a lot of plant floors and hard surfaces, the soles are now pretty uncomfortable. Walking across concrete now is difficult, almost better off not wearing the shoes. With that being said, I plan on ordering an insert to help increase the longevity of the shoe. Also, you have to be careful slipping these on, or you will break down the heel and it will get a little flimsy.

OVERALL a good deal for some nice looking and convenient shoes.

Black Madden Trace loafer / slip-on

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2022

Size: 9.5Color: BlackVerified Purchase

These are great shoes and I've owned a dozen pairs over the last 10+ years and will be ordering more. They are, however, 'cheap' shoes (no insult intended) - not your hand-stitched leather jobs from Italy, and if worn frequently will probably only last about a year or so. I walk about 2 miles a day and wear them quite often, and I usually find the heel wears down between 12 and 18 months. That said, they are extremely comfortable (possibly the most comfortable loafers I've ever worn), very stylish and fairly slip resistant, and as they're light weight, great for travel. I have a grey pair I only wear when on holiday in Europe and have had that pair for about a decade. I highly recommend.

Great Stylish and Comfortable Shoe ~

Very nice shoe well made and comfortable , Great Price Too ~ good for a wide foot like mine so its not so tight fitting , light and good support , rubber sole for standing or walking this is the third pair i have ordered because of the good fit and quality so glad they still have them .

They do run a bit small...i'd guess about 1/2 size. very difficult to pull on w/o shoehorn. However, the toe style is quite long (not as excessive as the "bancroft" which was about 3" beyond toes), they extend about 1 1/2" beyond toes, so ordering up will make that even worse.
Once on, they are snug but pretty comfortable.
Quality looks very decent for the price. They are not real leather, they are PU (synthetic), but that is disclosed in the description so not a minus. The stitch and sole detail looks very nice.
Will have to wait and see how they last. I'm afraid the toe area will break down quickly because of the excessive bend due to the extra long toe box. I wore them for about 5 mins around the house and they are already permanently creased....

They are comfortable, but my husband wears them out frequently, so finding deals on comfortable, stylish shoes is a must. Can be worn dressy or casual.

I've only had these 2 months and there are cracks in the leather already.
Not what you would expect from Maddens.
I've bought many Madden mens dress shoes and they lasted for years. These may last 6 months tops
