Gorgeous fun pump!, July 25, 2009
This review is from: STEVE MADDEN Trinitie Womens Classic Round Toe Leather Suede Heels Platforms Dress Shoes (Apparel)
Just purchased these in blue at Macy's - they are STUNNING on the foot. I was skeptical at how comfortable they'd be but I wear stilettos all the time and own several pair of Steve Maddens already, so I didn't think they'd be too bad. Turns out they're actually pretty comfy too! The bottom seems to be a bit slick but that shouldn't be a problem to fix. Homerun for Steve Madden!

My favorite pair of shoes!, July 15, 2009
This review is from: STEVE MADDEN Trinitie Womens Classic Round Toe Leather Suede Heels Platforms Dress Shoes (Apparel)
I bought Steve Madden's Trinitie pumps in black earlier this year and they have become my favorite shoes to wear. I've worn them with dresses, black trousers, and capris-they work with just about any outfit you could think of. I'm only 5'4" so the 4 inch heel makes a lot taller and the shoe makes my legs appear longer than they really are.
This definitely a good choice for any women looking for a new and sexy pump that doesn't cost too much. Steve Madden's Trinitie platform pump is on par with any of the top shoe designers.

try before you buy; nowhere close to barefoot ground feel, June 17, 2011
This review is from: STEVE MADDEN Trinitie Womens Classic Round Toe Leather Suede Heels Platforms Dress Shoes (Apparel)
I really, really wanted to like these shoes. Based on all the adoring reviews about fitting like a glove, feeling close to barefoot, etc. and since I've loved the Merrell Jungle Mocs I've worn for years, I ordered a pair from amazon in my usual size.
For background, I do a lot of trails in huaraches (4mm Vibram Cherry sole). I've come to really enjoy feeling the nuances of an uneven surface as I relax my feet into it - it keeps my form honest and relaxed. I was looking for something with great ground feel that wouldn't leave my feet filthy and would look like shoes if I went out in public wearing them.
Out of the box they looked great and did indeed fit my feet like a glove. And then...I stood up and walked. The soles are thicker under the forefoot, thinner in front of that, then have a thicker ridge under the toes. Walking indoors, they felt nothing like barefoot or a huarache sole. The best way I can describe my experience walking in them is: with every step it's like there is a half-golf-ball protruding from the ground under the lateral forefoot, with my foot rolling off of it in random directions with each step; it also feels like there is a half-inch-thick twig lying on the ground underneath my toes with each step.
That's not only poor ground feel; it was downright unstable.
I'm glad that so many people are having fantastic experiences with this shoe; I'm just not one of them. Bottom line, try them on before buying, and if you're looking for a sole that will allow you to feel the surface well, look elsewhere.
