Omg!! I would be so pissed.
I hate that the average joe is more likely going to come in contact with the Steve Madden pair and as it is hardly any non-fashionistas know who Isabel Marant is...This is majorly upsetting. I would hate for anyone to think I'm wearing a knock-off.
So the day has finally come to where the IMs have been duplicated by Steve Madden. i know that steve madden is notorious for making copies but this time he has definitely stolen the style of a new breed of shoe designed by Isabel Marant. i have came to my realization and now have regrets into buying into the trend. Today i was at Nordstroms and when a sales person compliments my shoes as Steve Madden's i was so disappointed and disgusted. I can't correct or defend my IMs each time a person mistakes my shoes for "STEVE MADDENS". Of course with the detail and quality in the IMs for individuals who already own them you can definitely notice an ISABEL MARANT, but unfortunately Steve Madden has definitely taken credit for each detail put into the willow/bekkets. Now that i am into owning 5 pairs from the last 2 seasons, every time i wear a pair i get self conscious. i was so angry with the comment made and the copies i see around at the mall i immediately canceled my pre-orders for the anthracite and gris at lagarconne. Thank you for reading i'm just really frustrated and i just wanted to share with individuals who are looking into purchasing a pair. I would say owning at least one pair is plenty, because Isabel Marants are AMAZING 
- other than that save your $$.

copies are made of like every decent designer shoe. i still wear ones that have copies, i can tell the difference and that's all that matters to me.
I still love and adore the IM original design and will ware them for a very long time.
Those copycats are nothing inspired me and I can tell the difference.

Silly. There are TONS of Marant "dicker" copycats - but nothing looks like the real thing imo and it certainly hasn't slowed down their popularity.
I absolutely agree. The whole copy cat thing is dreadful. Supposedly all the fake copiers have to do is change one little thing and it can pass the patent laws. It sucks that IM's sneakers are being made in China (not France like the Dickers). And probably right next to the Madden manufacturing warehouse.
It's becoming such a trendy shoe and now that fakes are abundant it'll be interesting to see if they survive like Converse, or will only be worn in 40 years at "early millennium" themed parties.

wow, nice collection!
I wouldn't let Steve Madden stop me from enjoying my shoes, though. He has copied Loeffler Randall boots (among the zillion other shoes he has copied), and they are still my favorite tall boots and I feel good wearing them. He has also copied Dicker boots, but they really do not look similar at all imo.
And hey, if someone can't tell the difference between Steve Madden and the real thing - it's not my fault they are not very discerning, lol.
I would like them all!!
