Shoes are a conversation topic on everyone’s mind, including Grace VanderWaal.
The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter was tapped for Steve Madden’s fall 2025 campaign titled ‘Everyone Has Something to Say About Shoes.’ The campaign explores fashion, identity and self-expression through four vignettes set in cafes with VanderWaal in the center. Each video in the series centers on quick and witty dialogue, immersive storytelling and, of course, the stand-out footwear offerings Steve Madden is bringing to the table for the fall 2025 season.
The new line includes everything from ranch-ready cowboy boots and studious suede loafers to futuristic wedged booties and wine-colored sandals. The campaign’s color palette lives in the neutral camp; however, you’ve also got a few burgundy and animal-printed silhouettes, too. There’s something for just about everyone. With so much to choose from, we’re helping you sift through all the shoe goodness by sharing our top picks. We’ll cover sizing options, price points and how to style each of our faves for fall.

Summer sandals meet fall aesthetics. Retailing for $129.95, these Ramos Wine sandals come equipped with tons of personality, a la the burgundy colorway and gilded accents. Three-inch heels give way to an elegant strappy construction that keeps the shoe secured to the foot. Sizing options for Ramos Wine range from 5.5 to 11, giving just about everyone the option to shop and style this fall footwear. Whether you’re heading out for date night or to an important work meeting, these sandals are equipped to get you there.
Animal print is always a win in our book. These Noir Brown Cow printed pumps retail for $129.95 and come equipped with an eye-catching cow print in shades of brown and cream that are sure to get people talking. The statement-making shoe is also equipped with sharp, pointed toes and curved 4-inch heels that offer the wearer a substantial boost. Sizing for these fab heels ranges from 5 to 12. As for styling, we can see these printed pumps paired with baggy denim and a cream-colored blouse and a bolo tie to play on the western vibes of the shoes.
Steve Madden Distortion Grey Fabric Wedge Boot

Steve Madden’s Distortion Grey Fabric Wedge boots were styled on VanderWaal in the campaign. Retailing for $199.95, these booties are a favorite of ours, and we know they’ll be a fave of yours, too. The wedge stands at 3.25 inches in height and transitions into slouchy gray textile uppers that look like a jersey fabric. The dynamic wedge, accompanied by the slouchy uppers and sharp pointed toe, reminds us of something off a Balenciaga or Rick Owens runway, but for a quarter of the price. Sizing ranges from 5 to 11. There are a multitude of styling possibilities with this one. You could go full futuristic vibes and don a flowing asymmetric dress and chunky silver jewelry, or you could lean into the Y2K of it all and opt for leggings and a slouchy sweater (infinity scarf not included).
Loafers and fall go hand in hand. These Leon Chocolate Brown Suede loafers are no exception. Retailing for $119.95, these shoes come equipped with textural brown suede uppers in a yummy chocolate brown hue. The style is a hybrid between a boot and a loafer, thanks to its high-top quality that sits above the ankle. Gold horsebit detailing gives way to exaggerated stitching and chunky rubber soles. Subtle block heels round out the set, offering the wearer a subtle lift. Sizing ranges from 5 all the way to 11. This preppy silhouette would work well with other preppy pieces, like a pleated skirt or a layered vest moment.

Flats like Steve Madden’s Shay Burgundy Leather Slingback are the backbone of modern footwear. Hear us out. They’re comfortable, easy to put on and take off and they’re extremely formal even without a heel. These days, the footwear market has veered towards styles that prioritize both comfort and style. These slingbacks have both and so much more. The burgundy hue is perfect for the fall, while the pointed toe offers the silhouette a bit of edge. Sizing options for these flats range from 5 to 11. These shoes would look great peeking out of baggy slacks or denim, worn alongside an off-the-shoulder top or a boxy button-down a la the office siren trend.
