One of my new pandemic hobbies has been learning about the stock market, which includes paying attention to companies' revenue reports. (Nerdy, I know.) But this is why I stumbled upon a crazy fact:

Steve Madden's most recent reports show the highest quarterly sales in the company's entire 31-year history. Plus, revenue was up 52% compared to the previous quarter. If you're a millennial like I am, this may come as surprising news. I was under the impression that the brand peaked around the early 2000s. But the numbers don't lie, so I must be wrong! 

Given the news that Steve Madden is more popular than ever before, I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of editor-approved picks from the brand. Below, I handpicked some of my favorites, including knee-high platform boots (a favorite of Gen Z), ankle boots, block-heel sandals, and even one very bold pair of wedges.
