Updated 4/27: The shoe is now available online and there is a 25% off code (Spring 25) on all shoes at SteveMadden online.
There are few blogs as great as mine.
But running a close second is the uber successful Cupcakes and Cashmere written by Emily Schuman, a girl who knows how to dress so innately it’s like breathing for her.
And while I am obsessed with pretty much everything Emily bakes, cooks and wears, nothing could have prepared me for the compulsive aneurysm I would go into when Emily premiered her new Steve Madden wood platform sandals.
This shoe made me rethink my entire summer wardrobe. Suddenly I needed tiny floral jumpers and loose fitting chambray mini dresses. And shorts! Tons of shorts!
In the last 24 hours I emailed Emily, Steve Madden (the PR department, not the guy), visited the store (not available), Macys, Nordstrom, even Lord and Taylor, before taking to the phone and calling all over California until I finally tracked down these Steve Madden wood platform sandals.
They’re called the Melrow and they are handmade in Los Angeles. Only a handful of stores got them, including the uber helpful folks at Steve Madden in the Beverly Center.
Which means I can stop obsessing about what they’re called.
And start obsessing about what color to get.
Thank you so much… I called and got them in brown yipee…..

thanks!!! any steve madden will order them for you, i just got them in the natural leather!!
thank you so much!!! I was obsessing over these shoes too! I just called and ordered them in natural.
not insane crazy about the shoes (you know me, if it ain't tortoise shell and uber prep…) but I am most definitely adding that blog to my Reader.
Can any store really get them for you? I really want these!!!!!
Two aneurysms plus stroke heart attack and seizure. First when I saw them on cupcakesandcashmere, and now on my FAV blog. This coupled with the Linea Pelle folding tote makes me believe that you truly are a mind reader. You are so much cooler than the internet trolls make you out to be.Love.
OMG Dana, I'm obsessed with the Steve Madden heels! I just called around to find my size and here's the dl on them. They are a “test run”, hand made and only distributed to a few stores. The hand made run is considered “cream of the crop” and IF they do well they will be mass produced at a lower quality! I found a store in florida that JUST got a full shipment and have a full run of sizes in natural and black so I wanted to share the info with your readers – 305-792-0355!
The shoe does not come in half size and since I'm a 6.5 I bought the 6 and 7 to see which fit. The store was kind enough to give me free shipping!!! Hope this helps other readers obtain a pair. Thanks for your impeccable taste!! xoxox Keren
I bought these from the store in Colorado, they also have an amazing wedge & vintage ankle strap with the same wood bottom!! These shoes are amazing!!!! Everyone freaked out when I wore them… I heard they only got one of each size. 303-331-8358.
