Carrie Bradshaw’s Gladiator Sandals

As you can see from the pictures, the Dior Extreme Gladiator Sandals appear on Carrie’s feet A LOT in the new Sex And The City movie. Reportedly, Sarah Jessica Parker had 81 wardrobe changes during the movie and wore the Dior shoes a whopping 5% of the time!! Wow!
After seeing the movie on Friday night, I decided I definitely HAD to have a pair. Now obviously I wasn’t going to buy the actual Dior shoes… No, no, no! They cost $770. And they aren’t even in stock anymore! You might be able to find them in stores, but it’s not likely. One of the only places left to get them is on eBay and most of them are overpriced because of popular demand.
So I went to find a knock-off pair… If you are in the UK, you’re in luck. You can purchase a pair at ASOS for £55.00.
Don’t fret, we found a pair for you US gals too! You can get a similar knock-off in black or tan on Bakers.com, but they look kinda cheap… as in not-made-well.
You can also find a similar pair, the Luichiny Women’s Mandy Sandal, for $59.95 at Endless.com, but they are out of stock entirely. At least for the moment… And Victoria’s Secret has a pair of Strappy Platform Sandals for $50.00 that kinda, maybe looks similar.
Then I found an even better pair on SteveMadden.com for $109.95
They look the most similar to the ones SJP wore in the movie AND you get free shipping, plus get 10% off on your next purchase at SteveMadden.com when you join their email list.
So those are the ones I decided to buy. I ordered them Saturday night and paid $98.95! I don’t think I’ve ever paid that much for a pair of shoes… At least not that I can remember. But these just seem worth it… and now I can’t WAIT for them to arrive!
Oh, and you can get Carrie’s adorable Eiffel Tower bag on PatriciaField.com for $450 or on eBay for $399. I have yet to see a knock-off of this, but will post it as soon as I do.
06/26/2008 – I just noticed that Steve Madden just added a black patent version and a
gray snakeskin version. Both are $109.95. Now I’m wondering if I should get 2 pairs… Those black ones are really pretty.
07/12/2008 – I received my brown Madalynn shoes and I LOOOOOOOVE them! They are so perfect and comfortable. They fit perfectly! READ MORE >>
I have also seen the Bakers version in person and they are really cheap looking. Not worth $50+ in my opinion. They look like something you would buy at Payless.
Here are some user submitted photos of the shoes:

And I know you gals have mentioned that Zappos gives FREE shipping as well as easy returns, so I thought I would include the links to buy them on Zappos for those of you that were interested!
I tried to order the Steve Madden ones but they won’t ship until end of August…
Boohoo.
I can’t wait that long. Summer will be almost over.
anyone PLEASE know whose sunglasses was carrie bradshaw wearing in the movie sex and the city…..the scenes in mexico, while reading a magazine, big black shields????? heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
After seeing the movie Friday I could not stop thinking about these sandals. I knew gladiators were in this summer, nine west is all over that as well. But I had to have these, after numerous google searches to find Carries shoes, I finally found the Dior beauties at a drastic price. Atleast for my budget they are.
Bakers.com was a suggested option for a knockoff pair, but my size had been sold out. I have since pre order the steven madden pair. Sure I have to wait a few months, but I think it will be well worth the wait. LOVE THEM!
I JUST ordered the Bakers version. After reading what you said about being sold out in 7 and 7.5 I freaked! I hope I ended up ordering the right thing, my order history won’t tell me the size or color I ordered so my fingers are super crossed. But I’m the same way, after seeing her sport them in the movie I had to have something similar. I’m okay with buying the knock off over the dior because they’re such a novelty, paying 700 dollars for a pair of shoes you’ll probably only wear this season is ridiculous for a normal person like me. Who has never bought a 700 dollar pair of shoes.
I know, I don’t want to wait till August! Do you think they will come out in stores before that date? UGH!
I wonder why you didn’t post gladiator sandals that cost less than $50.00
You usually post affordable options.
There is one available in Newport-News for $29, Chinese Laundry available at Planetshoes.com at $49, another pair available at shoestation.com for $29, at Victoria’s Secret for $50, at Endless.com for $39 and $45, etc.
Hi there! Thank you for this post. I hope you won’t get tired of updating this topic. The first time I search I found the Luichiny ones, and almost got them in gold. I got the ones from bakers. But I am definitely getting another from Steve Madden! Do let us know when another shoe brand copies it. I know, I am a shoe addict!
vienvien, I posted the ones that I found. I didn’t know that the other brands you mentioned had knock-off styles of the Dior. I’m going to go look them up right now and post them!!
THANKS!!
vienvien, I searched all those sites you mentioned and didn’t find them… Maybe you can send me the links when you have a chance.
I’ve been looking in every shoe store for a knock-off pair and promise to post every pair that I find!
Hi, I am dying to find the electric blue dress with the long chiffon sleeves that Carrie wore in the movies? Do you know anyone who carries the same version of the dress?
haha, I posted about these shoes too….We are all shoe obsessed.
Pam, I believe the dress you are talking about is made by Emma Domb and is vintage. I will let you know if I find anything similar!

Thanks! Those gladiator sandals are all very nice, but not the same style as the ones Carrie wore in the movie. I will be sure to share those the next time I post about gladiator sandals though! Thanks for your contribution.
The Dior ones are awesome, no doubt about that. And if you’re lucky to find them and afford them, GET THEM. The Madden ones are a great knock-off and the price is too good to pass up, too. But for those who still cannot afford those, I thought I would share this link. It’s not as good as the Madden ones, but I thought you could get the same idea……
The seller also has them in Tan, Camel, and White (which are ok looking)….wish they had them in brown, though.
hello ladies!
I’m from germany and after watching the movie (I immediately fell in love with those sandals!!) i searched for them in the internet. and then, wow, i found your site and i love it! why isn’t there something like that in germany? and i have to say: yes, i ordered those amazing steve madden shoes for 30$ shipping cost (which isn’t quite a lot in euro by now) and i expect them at the end of the year.. but for those i can wait that long!
and once again, thank you for that great page, i read it every day!!
sina from germany
Sina, what a beautiful name!
Thank you for your lovely comments! I am looking forward to getting the shoes as well.
Thank you for being a faithful reader!
Oh, the Steve Madden ones look great! (!!!) I used to go to Bakers all the time as a teenager, but some of their stuff is very hit-or-miss.
I completly love these shoes. I’m going through a ‘I love brown’ phase. I just got a very cute yellow blouse, and yellow + brown = preeeetty. I think you will love this pair of shoes so much, so the extra cost will, in the long run, seem not so bad. Great choice :)
Hi Guys, I am looking for the black pyramid studded waist belt worn by carrie in the movie. The only place that had the same exact belt was asos.com but they are sold out!!! Please help me find the belt, there has to be someone on earth that makes the same belt but i just cant seem to find it!! Thanks and your site rocks!
For the black Bakers gladiator sandals (Candice), all sizes have been re-stocked and available to order. I ordered myself an 8! They also have other cute gladiator sandals at Bakers as well.
Hey,
@the fashionable houswife: thanks for the link.
I actually managed to order the gladiator sandals from asos. They were out of stock yesterday but you just have to keep on trying – some people don´t confirm the purchase or return them because they don´t fit.
Congratulations to your great page – love it! ;-)

Hi!
Carrie wears a pair of Extreme Dior Sandals in the movie (brown ones). But I think that the ones we all are looking for are those serpent leather sandals. These shoes are not in stores yet… so I think we’ll have to wait.
Since then: enjoy the movie!
HELLO
Michelle,
the sunglasses are by Oilver Peoples I hope that can help you find them,
For those of you still looking for Carrie’s Dior Extreme knockoffs, there’s a wonderful patent version now available on Steve Madden’s website and I think these are the best! https://www.stevemadden.com/item.aspx?id=4670
Regarding the Bakers Candice sandal, I have those as well but they are not the most well-made or comfortable shoes. Until the new Steve Madden Maddiee style, I thought these were the best looking shoe. I didn’t care for the cutouts on the Madden Madalynn (it looked a little too cowgirl for my taste and I didn’t like the bronze hardware). Plus the new Maddiee are available one month sooner! Happy shopping!
These are the kinds of things that people will look back at and shudder (kind of like the neon colors and big shoulder pads of the eighties). They are nothing but UGLY and TRENDY. There is nothing classic or pretty about them. Go ahead and spend big bucks on some henious looking shoes that will be obsolete in a couple months.
I purchased the Baker’s version and they are actually really comfortable. I do live in heels, so discomfort is something I may have gotten used to haha. But I get a ton of compliments on them whenever I wear them, and they really rock an outfit! the newer Maddens are a lot better than their first version, the Madalynn– it looks similar to Baker’s too. I love them, and whoever gets them will love theirs too!
I just received notification from Steve Madden – my shoes are on there way!!!!!
Mine too!!! I can’t wait!!
Hiya
I purchased a gorgeous pair of maroon gladiator shoes similar to the $770.00 Dior shoes for just £40, they had my size too! (which is rare). Loads of colours, loads of sizes
I got them from Zunacci
https://www.zunacci.com/shoes.html
I repeat, gorgeous! :)
I just got my Steve Madden’s – I love, love, love them! Did I say I love them? They fit perfect and they are not only comfortable, they look just like Carrie’s! I have the Baker’s shoes and there is NO comparison!
Suzanne do you have the black or the brown? Do you have any photos of you wearing them you’d be happy to share? And Fashionable Housewife – have you received yours yet? I’ve pre-ordered the brown ones but am now having second thoughts and thinking of switching to black – help!!!
I’ll have to have someone take a picture for you. How do I post it here? I have the Madden’s in Brown and the Baker’s in black. I think I made the right choice on the brown because to be honest you can wear brown with everything. I’m not sorry that I didn’t get the black in the Madden’s and I don’t feel like I need them. Trust me you will LOVE them.
I’m not sure how you post a photo here – maybe Fashionable Housewife can advise? Are they the dark chocolate brown as shown on the SM website? I think the photo on this page has worried me because it’s a bit lighter, and I much prefer the chocolate colour. Photos can be misleading I guess!!
Karen – I’m telling you the shoes are unbelievable. We have terrible weather here today so I will send photos (take them too) tomorrow. The Fashionable Housewife emailed me how to send them. I brought my shoes to work and EVERYONE said “oh my god those are Carries shoes”. They are the same color as in the photos on this website. I’m charging my camera – hang in there. Now if I just knew where to meet “Big” :)
Oh thanks Suzanne I really appreciate it!!! I’ve carried out a survey with all my friends and they’re all voting brown, so I think I should stick with what I’ve ordered!!! Very excited about receiving them now!
Suzanne- Are you talking about the Madalynn or the Maddiee? I found a store in FL that has the Madalynn in stock now and I ordered both the black and the brown and should be here on Friday. I’m thinking about preordering the Maddiee in black and maybe keeping the brown of the Madalynn if they’re that unbelievable. Thanks in advance and I’d love to see the pics, too.
I just sent the photos to the Fashionable Housewife – boy I have ugly toes! I sent both the Baker’s and the Madden’s. I think you will see the difference – the Baker’s are kinda cheap and bikerish.
HA!!! Too funny. I can’t wait to see. I’ll get mine on Monday. I can’t wait and am still debating on getting the Baker’s but probably won’t and will just wait for the Maddie’s. We’ll see I’ve been known to have a lot of different shoes. HA!
hey ladies..i went to my local bakers today and tried to try them on…how do they fit. i wear a 8..but they had a 7.5 and a 10 only in tan, i couldnt even get my foot in the 7.5, and strangly the size 10 was almost a perfect fit, the sales person told me to order a 9 online, but im nervous that wont fit..any suggestions? are you finding they are true to size? of the sm…which are you ladies feelin more the maddie or the madalynn
Drea – I called the local Baker’s store (the nearest one is an hour drive) and the sales manager told me to order a 1/2 size bigger. She said they run small and she wears a 9 (same size as me) and she had to buy a 9 1/2. I hope that helps but with out having tried them on I’m not an expert. I’m waiting on the Madalynn to come now and the district manager for the FL region has assured me he’ll call me when he has the Maddiee in stock. I’m not sure if I’m going to like the “all patent leather” but we’ll see.
thanks brenda..of course bakers site lets you put the item into the bag but when you go to check out says they are not in stock :( i will call around
can anyone post a pic or email me a pic of the maddiees in black when they get them? i got the madalynn and i dont like them. im thinkin about orderin the maddies now but nervous about how the patent leather will look..i will be pissed if i order then they turn around and have leather, lol
Drea – DHL has my Madalynn’s (in black & brown) all over creation but they should be here tomorrow by 12p. I got the DC manager to send me the Maddie’s in black patent (still kind of leary about that) and the natural snake. He thought the green and purple were a little too “street walker” but did say the green ones with jeans were hot. HA! I didn’t get a DHL tracking number for those but am thinking Tuesday maybe Wednesday on delivery? AND I asked if they had them in leather and he said no so I too will be ticked if I get the patent leather and then they have leather. HA!
Suzanne thanks so much for sharing your photos – I love the doggy foot that has made its way into the Bakers photo!!!! And I think you have perfectly fine toes!!!
I feel a lot happier about my brown Madalynns now, they look gorgeous in your photo. Thanks! X
Brenda: I told you not to worry. See what I mean about the Baker’s – I wish I did not keep those. The furry paw is Dale my neighbors dog – he wanted in on the foot action.
ok brenda i will wait for your post on the maddiees and how that black patent looks, i took my madalynn’s back
Karen I just got my brown Madalynn’s and I LOVE THEM! They are even nicer than I thought they would be. Really high quality, soft leather, and comfortable. I highly recommend them!
Suzanne you have cute feet! I am the one with mutant feet. lol
Drea I don’t know why you took your Madalynn’s back!!! You can find the Bakers ones in stores, but I don’t think they are nearly as nice. I saw them in the store and they look cheap in my opinion.
I will post a pic of my shoes soon!
Im hoping that i like the maddiee’s better, lol
I GOT MY MADALYNN’S YESTERDAY AND I LOVE THEM!! BEST ITEM I’VE BOUGHT THIS YEAR!! IM SUPER HOT WITH THEM =)
I should be getting my Steve Madden Madiee’s by Monday, but loved the way the Madalynn’s looked on the foot in the picture above so I checked Zappos and they have the Madalynn in both black and brown. As most of you probably know, Zappos delivery time is very quick and they often upgrade standard shipping to overnight shipping so I’m hoping to see these on my feet tomorrow. Oh, I do have the Bakers Candice sandal and I do think they look cheap. Plus my little pinky toe falls off the edge, between the second smaller strap in the front and the platform (I’m hoping this doesn’t happen with the Madiees – has anyone else had this problem??). I know that the quality of Steve Madden shoes is very good so I’m looking forward to trying both their styles out.
cassidy please post pic when you get your maddies if you get the patent black please!
Thank you so much to everyone that has posted regarding these shoes! It’s been so helpful for my decision on which ones to purchase.
Yesterday, I chose to purchase the Steve Madden Maddiee in both the Black Patent and Natural Snake. I wore the Black Patent for the 1st time today and received 4 compliments on them! They’re HOT! Plus, I have wide feet and they make my feet look slim!
I tried on the Bakers shoes in black and the leather does not appear very high quality and they make my feet look wide.
I opted for the Maddiee vs. the Madalynn because of the slimmer heel, and its closer similarity to the original shoe. I wasn’t feelin’ the patchwork leather or the brass detail with the black on the Madalynn (this is a matter of preference for each person though!). The Maddiee is also a shoe I would normally wear even if it bore no similarity to a high end shoe.
Enjoy your hot heels, whichever ones you decide to rock!
I received the Madalynn’s yesterday and LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Did I mention I love them? I like the black (that I already have plans to wear with this gorgeous black trapeze dress with brass hardware all over the collar, will post pictures) but hubby likes the brown so I get to keep them both!! I know very unoriginal but who cares? My Maddies should be here tomorrow, I’ll be out of town for business so MIL has instruction to accept shipment. I will maybe play dress up tomorrow night (if I’m not too exhausted from the trip) or Friday for sure and send pictures.

Hello everyone! I received the “Maddiee” yesterday and i have to say they are fabulous!! I also agree that the Bakers shoes looks a bit generic in contrast to the Steve Madden style. I ordered the Maddiee last week and it arrived quick!! Just in time for the rest of the summer. The bakers shoes have been sold out in most stores here in california. I heard some of the stores just got them in, so i will check them out to get a close up view of them. I have a feeling i will still probably prefer my Steve Madden “Maddiee” shoes!! For those of you who loved the vintage style clothing from the movie, you might want to check out Ebay! I have found many cute 50’s and 60’s style summer dresses, just like the green floral dress Carrie Bradshaw wears with her gladiator platform shoes. Good luck shopping!
Cassidy,
I have wide feet (duck feet I call them) and my pinkie toes always fall off the edge of shoes, but that didn’t happen with the Maddalyn’s!!! They are designed perfectly.
Plus, they make my feet AND ankles look skinny. They must be sent from shoe heaven!
AND lets not forget… these babies are actually comfortable!
esther and tothenines pics of the maddies please, lol it would be nice if one were put up above with the other to shoes for those of use who need a visual :)
how do they feel are they are really shiny black?
Thanks, ladies, for all your feedback.
“Housewife” — I sometimes have pinky toe problems with strappy platforms and it is definitely a problem with the Bakers. I’m really hoping that is not the case with the Maddiees because I do prefer the look and hardware of that syle to the Madalynns. Maybe I’ll keep both — it’s still a lot less than $800.
“To the nines” — Did you notice a fit difference between the Candice and Maddiee styles? Any problems with your pinky toe?
“Drea” — Would you believe that the only camera I own is in my cellphone? I’ll do my best to get a photo of the Maddiees once I get them, but hopefully a more camera-savvy gal will provide one for us all.
Just got my Madalynns! MUCH more comfortable than the Bakers and you can see the difference in quality. And my little pinky toe stays put!
Okay, I have all (FOUR pairs) of shoes in and I’m not a HUGE fan of the Maddie’s in the patent leather black. I do like them in the natural. I prefer the Madalynn’s in black and brown. I have pictures of all of them and even have one of each in the black for comparison (Drea this is for you). Can anyone tell me how to post pictures on here?
Ah, I forgot to mention that as far as comfort goes, the Madalynn’s were MUCH more comfortable. Even though I prefer the heel on the Maddie’s they pushed my foot forward but that could be because they are slick and not leather? Overall the Madalynn’s are my (my husband, MIL, and neighbor’s) pick. I will keep the natural in the Maddie and probably both pairs of the Madalynn’s. If someone can tell me how to post pictures I’ll be happy to share.
Is posting pictures like loading the photo in Photobucket and then copying and pasting the html code and posting in here? If not, just let me know how to post the pics, and I’d be happy to post pics of my Maddiees!
drea: As far as how I feel about the Black Patent, you’re asking a girl that has some 20 pairs of shoes in patent leather! I love patent shoes, but I also like attention! It takes some confidence to wear these shoes! :) (more compliments when I wore them today!)
Cassidy: I didn’t have any pinky toe issues with the Bakers shoes or the Maddiees, but I didn’t try on my size at the Bakers store because they didn’t have it (I wear a 9 and they only had a 7 1/2).
“Drea”- Hello, I will post a picture as soon as i have a chance. The Maddiee’s are very shinny and very comfortable in my opinion. My friend just went and purchased the Bakers shoes today, and i hear they aren’t as nice as the Maddiees. If i can i will take a picture of both and post them this weekend.
lol, thanks brenda, esther, and tothenines!!! its great being able to get different opinion as im not able to see them in person, its really appreciated.
I bought the knock off pair in black, that are almost identical from the Dior’s one and they have large sizes too from
https://stores.ebay.co.uk/Sparkling-Desert
heh hah very happy. They even have custom-made for this shoes and I am planning to try. I want a pair in copper bronze.
Anna
I sent my pictures to the Fashionable Housewife (as instructed to do so by her) and she’ll post them. I like patent leather too, but in my opinion, I prefer the Madalynns to the Maddies. Not just in looks but comfort, just my opinion though.
Drea – Got my Maddiees today and thought that, even though I don’t have a photo for you, I’d let you know that the black patent is very pretty. It’s almost a soft cracked patent leather (by the way, the shoe uppers are not made of leather, but manmade materials). Shiny, but not too shiny and not cheap looking at all.
The style and fit are pretty much exactly like the Bakers Candice, but the quality is better. However, I think that the Madalynns are made even better than the Maddiees, with a sturdier heel and buckle. And the cutouts are not too flashy (I didn’t like them at first, either, but after trying all the styles, they are now my favorite). Plus, I think the Madalynns are actually more slimming due to the longer cut of the middle section over the top of the foot.
Anyway, unfortunately for me, my pinky toes get caught between the strap and platform of the Maddiees (just like they do in the Bakers Candice) so sadly, even though I really love the black patent, I’m going to have to return these.
So, Drea, I would definitely recommend the black patent. You shouldn’t be worried at all about the look. Let us all know what you decide and how your style of choice works for you!
I’m so glad I found this site! I have been deciding on whether or not to order the Madalynns, I just love them. My biggest concern is if I can walk in them or not. Are they really comfortable and fairly easy to walk in? I already have about ten pairs of shoes in my closet that I thought I would wear but do not because they are too high and uncomfortable. By the way I was in TJ Max recently and they have Steve Madden Basha https://www.stevemadden.com/category.aspx?id=143 for only $29.99 and on the site they are $99.95.
So for the ladies that bought the Madalynns, how easy are they to walk in? Thanks!
I am very very jealous of you ladies that have gotten your Madalynns already! i ordered mine around the same time, but still no word!!
Jem — Order them from Zappos and you’ll get them the next day! You’ll have to pay a little more, but you won’t have to wait. And if they don’t fit, you can return them for free (no restocking fee!). Just be sure to cancel your order with Steve Madden for a full refund.
Rapture — I haven’t worn the Madalynns for more than four hours yet, but in that time, they didn’t rub anywhere and were not too tight — in fact, they’ve already stretched a little bit to fit my foot. What makes your other heels uncomfortable? Heel height? Straps rubbing? Too tight? If it is heel height, these may be uncomfortable for you to wear for long periods of time, but I’d still recommend them because they really are quite stunning. You may want to try your new Madalynns around your home or office first to see how you do before wearing them out. Good luck. I hope that they work for you.
jem if you have a nordy’s near you check there..thats where i got mine they have black and brown..i see sm website the brown madalynns are on preorder till end of aug
Rapture: You ladies are going to think I have a real shoe “problem”, but I own Basha too. They seem comfortable at first, but I wore them to work and needed to change them by lunchtime because you have no cushion under your toes. That part of the shoe is very flat and with the pitch – the bottom of your toes start to ache. They are great for just going out, but I don’t recommend them for work. However, they are ADORABLE on.
Brenda I posted the pics of your shoes! All of them look awesome. I want to buy another pair now!
To see the photos CLICK HERE!
Ooooh, I forgot to mention… If any of you find these shoes or other uncomfrtable, you can add certain insoles or whatever to add extra comfort so that you CAN wear them to work all day. Check out “Protect & Pamper Your Feet This Sandal Season”
Let me know if you have any questions!
Fashionable Housewife – Thanks!
Brenda: Thank you so much for posting all your pictures to show the comparisons of the different Steve Madden styles/colors! You’re an awesome shoe model.
In addition to The Fashionable Housewife’s recommendation for making your shoes more comfortable, if you haven’t discovered Foot Petals yet, they are a godsend! I have them in practically all my heels. You’ll wonder how you ever wore heels without them!
Drea: You’re too cute! :) I’m glad you finally found a pair that you’re happy with!
I decided not to keep my Maddiees in the Natural Snake because I can’t seem to find the occasion/outfit to wear them, but they are pretty hot!
I had a question ladies… i want to get these gladiators.. but i am not sure if they go with this specific dress that i am getting.. take a look at the dress and let me know if i can be edgy yet chic wearing both together. please reccommend a type of shoe if not. thank soo much!

tothenines – I wore the natural snake on Friday night with light wash skinny Seven jeans and a ruffled chiffon gun metal silver top. I was on my feet for about 3 hours and wore them for 5 and they were super comfortable. I got TONS of compliments on the shoes (even in the darkness of the bar). I love the shoes (oh, and thanks for thinking I did a decent job on modeling the shoes, I was beginning to feel a little attacked and wondered if the shoes were going to look bad on my feet.)
These are THE most beautiful shoes EVER. Fashion rocks.
Kinda late, but these are awesome and come in a variety of colors.

Hello!I am from greece and i fell in love with those shoes from the first time i saw the movie. I have 2 questions. First of all, the shoes that Sarah Jessica Parker wore on the film arre black or brown? I’m not sure..
Also, i was going to get the ones from asos that are similar until i saw the ones at steve maden. Which are the best? And is it worth it to order them from Greece? Can you suggest anything else. I must have the shoes!!! :)
Thank you
Hi Vanessa!
First off, thank you for your comment!
The shoes are to die for… SJP actually wears both brown ones and black ones in the movie. I think she also might wear a gold pair with the wedding dress…
She mostly wears the brown ones in the movie, so I bought the brown ones. I’ve heard reports that the ones from Steve Madden are better than the ones from ASOS.
To be honest with you, the shoes are gorgeous. If you are used to walking in heels, you’ll love these shoes. They are so sexy on too. I have a hard time walking in them because they are 4 inch heels and I usually wear flats, but that would be my only complaint.
I don’t know how much the shipping will be to Greece, but I would think it would be worth it. If you have trouble ordering them from Steve Madden, let me know and I’ll see if I can hook you up with a pair somehow.

You can also look for them on eBay: https://clothing.shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_dmptZUSQ5fWomenQ5fsQ5fShoes?_nkw=extreme+gladiator&_sacat=63889&_fromfsb=&_trksid=m270.l1313&_odkw=madalynn&_osacat=63889
Search for “extreme gladiator” and then order by price from low to high (so you aren’t looking at the expensive Dior ones!)
Let me know if you need more help!
I waited it out and got mine for $32 dollars on Amazon.com. I ordered the Steve Madden’s in brown. Wasn’t sure I wanted them when I first saw the movie, but since the price went down I decided to give them a try. I sure wish they could do a replica on the Eiffel Tower Bag.
Suzanne,
Your feet look hot in those cfmp’s, If I had the chance I’d tear them off of you and chew on your toes!
Mr. Big
Really!
Just got my Madalynns! MUCH more comfortable than the Bakers and you can see the difference in quality. And my little pinky toe stays put!
That was a great post..I love this site. Thanks
