Steve Madden Tabi Flats Review: A Convincing Alternative to Margiela for $120

I admired the Maison Margiela Tabi flat for a long time and could never justify the price. When Steve Madden released their version for $120, I bought them immediately. In both colors.

I've been wearing them nonstop for over a month and they've become one of my top purchases of 2026. In the video I share my honest review, full sizing notes (sizing down is likely the right call for most people), and three outfits I've actually been wearing them with.
