Madden founded the company in early 90's. In the early years of the company, the shoes were produced and designed out of a small factory in Queens, New York. He started the business with a little over 1,000 dollars worth of seed money, and launched his entire career and company, from a small, single line of shoes.
Although Madden is no longer CEO or on the board of directors, he still plays a major part in designing the shoes that the company makes. In fact his return as a designer for the company he founded was part of a major design launch in the Spring of 2005. In 2006 the company was named Company of the Year at the Footwear News Achievement Awards, allowing his company to continue to redefine itself.
Steve Madden Designer Shoes have been a well respected name for 20 years, and the brand has expanded over the years as styles have changed. While many of the shoes still are inspired by the thick clunky heels of the 70's that first inspired Madden to become a shoe designer, the brand and styles have continued to evolve over time.
Today, the company that Madden created has a wide variety of product lines that includes shoes for men, women and children, as well as a line of designer handbags. The company has grown immensely from its humble beginnings and now has an average revenue of 450 million dollars each year.
The company is known for its iconic style of shoes, handbags and accessories, many of which Steve Madden himself designs. They are often bold, and are fashion forward. The brand of shoes is popular world wide and can be seen on many superstars and fashion models.
In addition to his work as a designer, Steve Madden has been known to occasionally participate in charity work. In particular he did some relief work after the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.
The Steve Madden Designer Shoe brand continues to be very popular because of its iconic style. It is particularly popular with teenagers who really identify with the line of bold stacked heels. Madden shoes are in the moderately high priced range with heels averaging between $50- $150 per pair.
