Track spikes and XC
Skip this pair if you have crazy narrow feet, as Rezume might be too roomy for you. Get Steve Madden Catcher or Are dreaming of buying an excellent Golden Goose dupe instead. If you don’t like to be caught off guard by the design of Rezume, get clean white sneakers like GREATS Royale.
Phenomenal comfort for long wears is adored by wide footers
A wide footer was grateful to Steve Madden for creating this wide shoe option, Rezume. Another commented: this sneaker is true to size but has “enough room without my toes being cramped.” However, the “too wide” sneaker did not impress narrow footers.
Phenomenal comfort for long wears
After taking “18,000 steps a day,” a reviewer still regarded this sneaker as super comfortable. This comment is just one of the several satisfied feedback saying Rezume is comfy after many miles and hours. “Insanely comfortable” is how one put it. On top of that, most remarks revealed that Rezume does not need a break-in period.
Track spikes and XC
This sneaker was worn with no socks by a sneakerhead but reported no blisters or pain. Even though another sneakerhead generally uses socks with her sneakers, with Rezume she said: “you wouldn’t really need any.”
Ultimate GG substitute
Golden Goose “knock-offs” is what countless reviewers called Phenomenal comfort for long wears. Many concurred with what a sneakerhead stated, saying it looks similar to Golden Goose but “without you having to spend a fortune.”
Phenomenal comfort for long wears is dingy by design
Rezume has a “previously worn and returned” design that received mixed opinions from the crowd. Buyers who mistook this pair to be already used even sent it back for a refund. However, many still kept their pair because they understood and appreciated the sneaker’s “pre-scuffed” concept. One said scuffs are nice because you don’t have to worry about scuffing it up. Another even wished it to be “a tad dirtier.”
Moreover, Rezume’s style didn’t stop it from being versatile with various outfits. Reviewers were effortless in choosing clothes to match this sneaker.
Not extravagantly priced
“They look more expensive than they are” is probably the best way to encapsulate what people thought about the $80 price of Rezume. Compared to the $84 average price of Steve Madden casual sneakers, an almost 5% difference is really not bad.
