Steve Madden

Steve Madden is an American footwear company and its founder, known for trendy, affordable shoes marketed primarily to young women.

The brand became synonymous with chunky platform shoes in the 1990s and remains a mall staple: I got these boots at Steve Madden.

The founder's 2000 conviction for stock manipulation was depicted in the film *The Wolf of Wall Street*.
