text: it looks so fake!!! made in china....i think i was ripped off! the steve madden logo wsas not even sewn on, it's stuck on with some sort of cheap glue and it peeled off easily. You cannot wear this on tiled or smooth floors though, they are not slip resistant. I slid the first day I wore it and almost fell. Disappointed if this really is authentic Steve Madden  Update: After wearing these sandals about 4-5 times, they broke on me. The rubber stopper at the bottom of the strap broke off so there is no way I can wear these again now! Extremely disappointed.  I also bought a pair of Steve Madden flip flop for my sister. One logo was missing from a side as well as the leather was peeled off from the instep of it. If my return shipping would not have cost much, I would have returned instantly. For this, I am wondering if all Madden's products are flimsy and done carelessly. I don't think I will ever buy his product again.
