Detailed Review
The Steve Madden Women's Bowe Mule stands out not just for its unique design but also for its functionality. The sturdy wood-like block heel is impressive, providing a solid base that’s ideal for walking comfortably. You’ll notice that these mules are not just a fashion statement; they’re designed for practicality, allowing you to easily slip them on whether you're heading to work or going out for a night on the town.
The leather upper feels soft against your skin while promising durability. It's important to consider that while genuine leather provides a luxe look, the wood-like heel may require some additional care to maintain its appearance over time. Many users appreciate the round toe design, which accommodates various foot shapes, giving them an edge over other styles that might be limiting.
In terms of versatility, these mules pair beautifully with a range of outfits—from jeans to dresses—making them an excellent addition to your shoe collection. The modern aesthetic of the Bowe Mule makes it a suitable option for both casual and semi-formal settings.

User Reviews
I bought these dispite the multiple negative reviews as I have several pairs of Steve Madden shoes and have yet to be disappointed. One person said these shoes were very heavy... Not sure what type of shoe they are used to but I found them to be very light, lighter than most of my high heels. These shoes together weigh exactly 1 pound 6 ounces! Which is equivalent to a loaf of bread... Another review said they were 5 inches tall... not sure what kind of ruler they were using but the outside edge of the heel is only 4 inches and the toe platform is almost an inch and a half so the overall height of the shoe is only 4 inches and the incline is only about 2 and a half inches. All of my high heels are taller than that. Another review said the leather was super stiff and difficult to walk in... Not sure what kind of expectations they had since the leather is NOT suede it really makes perfect sense that the patent leather is not going to be super pliable, I suppose in their defense maybe they are used to cheap shoes... I am not and prefer a good quality leather shoe over a synthetic leather. Although the leather feels like good quality I did not find these to be super stiff or difficult to walk in at all. I also am unsure what inside tag another review was referring to as there are no tags inside the shoes I received.All in all these shoes fit great, feel great and are well worth the price.As a caveat I am currently 8 month pregnant and found these to be very comfortable even when my feet were swollen and sore or I had to stand for a while in them.
Okay, so they add like 5” to your height overall (i’m 5’8 to start with…)They’re pretty comfy for what they are, but there’s a tag on the inside heel that rubs my foot raw if I walk too much in them. They’re also pretty heavy. I’d recommend for someone athletic and comfortable in heels. Not an everyday shoe. I have to remove to drive.
I have several of these Steve Madden clogs. This pair is super stiff leather and I assumed they would be as comfortable as the others. They may break in after wearing but I’m sending them back. So sad because they are so cute!!
Nice and comfortable
I would purchase again
I opened straight from the box and noticed there was something wrong. The shoes seemed scuffed. I looked closer and it looks that they were not made well. I am super disappointed in the quality of these Steve Madden shoes.
I love clogs and buy many pairs. I buy a lot of Steve Madden shoes. I like these clogs because of the blunt toe. So many shoes and clogs go to a point and I don't like them. Then I ordered these and love them, but not the fit. My pinky toe got very sore. I will have to put some padding in them or I won't be wearing them!
Very cute shoe, however, this is not at all Steve Madden quality. The shoe is very light and not hard to walk in but I could easily imagine twisting my ankle if I wasnt careful because there’s no weight to the shoe.
