Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Reporting	Basis of Reporting The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Steven Madden, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain adjustments were made to prior years' amounts to conform to the 2015 presentation. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015.

Use of Estimates [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas involving management estimates include allowances for bad debts, returns and customer chargebacks, inventory valuation, valuation of intangible assets, litigation reserves and contingent payment liabilities. The Company provides reserves on trade accounts receivables and factor receivables for future customer chargebacks and markdown allowances, discounts, returns and other miscellaneous compliance related deductions that relate to the current period sales. The Company evaluates anticipated chargebacks by reviewing several performance indicators of its major customers. These performance indicators, which include retailers’ inventory levels, sell-through rates and gross margin levels, are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowance.

Due To and From Factor [Abstract]
Due To And From Factor	Factor Receivable The Company has a collection agency agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“Rosenthal”) that became effective on September 15, 2009. The agreement can be terminated by the Company or Rosenthal at any time upon 60 days prior written notice. Under the agreement, the Company can request advances from Rosenthal of up to 85% of aggregate receivables submitted to Rosenthal. The agreement provides the Company with a $30 million credit facility with a $15 million sub-limit for letters of credit at an interest rate based, at the Company’s election, upon a calculation that utilizes either the prime rate minus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 2.5% . The Company also pays Rosenthal a fee based on a percentage of the gross invoice amount submitted to Rosenthal. With respect to receivables related to our private label business, the fee is 0.14% of the gross invoice amount. With respect to all other receivables, the fee is 0.20% of the gross invoice amount. Rosenthal assumes the credit risk on a substantial portion of the receivables that the Company submits to it and, to the extent of any loans made to the Company, Rosenthal maintains a lien on all of the Company’s receivables to secure the Company’s obligations.

Receivables [Abstract]
Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]	Notes Receivable As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , Notes Receivable were comprised of the following: June 30, December 31, Note receivable from seller of SM Canada $1,299 $1,878 In connection with the Company's February 21, 2012 acquisition of all of the assets comprising the footwear, handbags and accessories wholesale and retail businesses of Steve Madden Canada Inc., Steve Madden Retail Canada Inc., Pasa Agency Inc. Note D – Notes Receivable (continued) and Gelati Imports Inc. (collectively, "SM Canada"), which had been the Company's sole distributor in Canada since 1994, the Company provided an interest-free loan to the seller of SM Canada in the principal amount of $ 3,107 Canadian dollars (which converted to approximately $ 3,085 in U.S. dollars at the time of the acquisition). The note is payable in five annual installments, which are due on the same dates that the five annual earn-out payments (to the extent such contingent consideration is earned as a result of SM Canada's financial performance in the earn-out periods; see Note F) are payable by the Company to the seller of SM Canada. The note was recorded net of the imputed interest, which will be amortized to income over the term of the note. To the extent that any earn-out payment is not achieved in future earn-out periods, the repayment of the note may result in less than the entire principal amount of the loan being repaid. In such event the unpaid annual installment of the principal amount of the note will be forgiven.

Marketable Securities	Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist primarily of certificates of deposit and corporate bonds with maturities greater than three months and up to ten years at the time of purchase as well as marketable equity securities. These securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of any tax effect, reported in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , gains of $0 and $96 were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement in other income compared to gains of $2 and $4 for the comparable periods in 2014 . These securities are classified as current and non-current marketable securities based upon their maturities. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , the amortization of bond premiums totaled $ 348 and $693 compared to $136 and $273 for the comparable periods in 2014 . The values of these securities may fluctuate as a result of changes in equity values, market interest rates and credit risk. The schedule of maturities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows: Maturities as of Maturities as of 1 Year or Less 1 to 10 Years 1 Year or Less 1 to 10 Years Corporate bonds $ 12,776 $ 89,429 $ 11,363 $ 90,446 Certificates of deposit 18,434 — 19,835 — Total $ 31,210 $ 89,429 $ 31,198 $ 90,446

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurement The accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”) requires the Company to make disclosures about the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs. Note F – Fair Value Measurement (continued) The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows: June 30, 2015 Fair Value Measurements Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 2,506 $ 2,506 $ — $ — Current marketable securities – available for sale (a) 31,210 31,210 — — Note receivable – related party (b) 3,159 — — 3,159 Note receivable from seller of SM Canada (c) 1,299 — — 1,299 Long-term marketable securities – available for sale (d) 89,429 89,429 — — Total assets $ 127,603 $ 123,145 $ — $ 4,458 Liabilities: Forward contracts $ 2,543 $ — $ 2,543 $ — Contingent consideration (e) 35,541 — 35,541 Total liabilities $ 38,084 $ — $ 2,543 $ 35,541 (a) Current marketable securities includes unrealized losses of $277. (b) The decrease in the balance of the note receivable from related party is due to forgiveness of $204, partially offset by accrued interest income of $35. (c) The decrease in the balance of the note receivable from the seller of SM Canada is due to principal payments of $240 made in the second quarter in connection with the earn-out payment and of $339 in foreign currency translation. (d) Long-term marketable securities includes unrealized gains of $110 and unrealized losses of $491. (e) The decrease in the contingent consideration at June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 is due to an earn-out payment of $2,950 during the second quarter of 2015 to the seller of SM Canada and a change in present value of the expected future payments. Note F – Fair Value Measurement (continued) December 31, 2014 Fair Value Measurements Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 2,280 $ 2,280 $ — $ — Current marketable securities – available for sale (a) 31,198 31,198 — — Note receivable – related party (b) 3,328 — — 3,328 Note receivable from seller of SM Canada (c) 1,878 — — 1,878 Long-term marketable securities – available for sale (d) 90,446 90,446 — — Total assets $ 129,130 $ 123,924 $ — $ 5,206 Liabilities: Forward contracts $ 2,334 $ — $ 2,334 $ — Contingent consideration (e) 38,633 — — 38,633 Total liabilities $ 40,967 $ — $ 2,334 $ 38,633 (a) Current marketable securities includes unrealized gains of $1 and unrealized losses of $145. (b) The decrease in the balance of the note receivable from related party is due to one-tenth forgiveness of $409, partially offset by accrued interest income of $156. (c) The decrease in the balance of the note receivable from the seller of SM Canada is due to principal payments of $893 and $400 in foreign currency translation. (d) Long-term marketable securities includes unrealized gains of $11 and unrealized losses of $589. (e) The change in the contingent consideration is due to an earn-out payment of $3,315 during the second quarter of 2014 to the seller of SM Canada, an earn-out payment of $5,160 during the third quarter of 2014 to the seller of Cejon and a decrease of $2,139 due to a change in estimate of expected payments. These were offset by the addition of earn-out payments to the seller of Dolce Vita of $4,616 and SM Mexico of $9,836. The Company enters into forward contracts (see Note O) to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in Mexican pesos. Fair value of these instruments is based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates. For the note receivable due from related party (see Note I) and from the seller of SM Canada (see Note D), the carrying value was determined to be the fair value, based upon their imputed or actual interest rates, which approximate current market interest rates. The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the December 30, 2014 acquisition of SM Mexico (see Note M). Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the seller of SM Mexico, earn-out payments will be due annually to the seller of SM Mexico based on the financial performance of SM Mexico for each of the twelve-month periods ending on December 31, 2015 and 2016, inclusive. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management's projections of the financial results of SM Mexico during the earn-out period. The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the August 13, 2014 acquisition of Dolce Vita (see Note M). Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the seller of Dolce Vita, earn-out payments will be due annually to the seller of Dolce Vita based on the financial performance of Dolce Vita for each of the twelve-month periods ending on September 30, 2015 and 2016, inclusive, provided that the aggregate minimum earn-out payment shall be no less than $5,000 . The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management’s projections of the financial results of Dolce Vita during the earn-out period. The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the February 21, 2012 acquisition of SM Canada. Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the seller of SM Canada, earn-out payments will be due annually to the seller of SM Canada based on the financial performance of SM Canada for each of the twelve-month periods ending on March 31, 2013 through 2017, inclusive. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management’s projections of the financial results of SM Canada during the earn-out period. The current portion Note F – Fair Value Measurement (continued) of the earn-out due based on the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2016 approximates the recorded value. An earn-out payment of $2,950 for the period ended March 31, 2015 was paid to the seller of SM Canada in the second quarter this year. The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the May 25, 2011 acquisition of Cejon Inc., Cejon Accessories, Inc. and New East Designs, LLC (collectively "Cejon"). Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the sellers of Cejon, earn-out payments will be made annually to the sellers of Cejon, based on the financial performance of Cejon for each of the twelve-month periods ending on June 30, 2012 through 2016, inclusive. The fair value of the remaining contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management's projections of the financial results of Cejon during the earn-out period. The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as accounts receivable, factor accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms. The fair values of investment in marketable securities available for sale are determined by reference to publicly quoted prices in an active market.

Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	Note Receivable – Related Party On June 25, 2007, the Company made a loan to Steve Madden, its Creative and Design Chief and a principal stockholder of the Company, in the amount of $3,000 in order for Mr. Madden to satisfy a personal tax obligation resulting from the exercise of stock options that were due to expire and to retain the underlying Company common stock, which common stock he pledged to the Company as collateral to secure the loan. Mr. Madden executed a secured promissory note in favor of the Company bearing interest at an annual rate of 8% , which was due on the earlier of the date Mr. Madden ceases to be employed by the Company or December 31, 2007. The note was amended and restated as of December 19, 2007 to extend the maturity date to March 31, 2009, and amended and restated again as of April 1, 2009 to change the interest rate to 6% and the maturity date to June 30, 2015 at which time all principal and accrued interest would become due. On January 3, 2012, in connection with an amendment of Mr. Madden’s employment contract, the note was again amended and restated (the “Third Amended and Restated Note”) to extend its maturity date to December 31, 2023 and eliminate the accrual of interest after December 31, 2011. In addition, the Third Amended and Restated Note provides that, commencing on December 31, 2014, and annually on each December 31 thereafter through the maturity date, one-tenth of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, will be cancelled by the Company, provided that Mr. Madden continues to be employed by the Company on each such December 31. As of December 31, 2011, $1,090 of interest has accrued on the principal amount of the loan related to the period prior to the elimination of the accrual of interest and has been reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based upon the increase in the market value of the Company’s common stock since the inception of the loan, on July 12, 2010, the Company released from its security interest a portion of the shares of the Company’s common stock, pledged by Mr. Madden as collateral for the loan. The number of shares of the Company's common stock currently securing the repayment of the loan is 472,500 shares. On June 30, 2015 , the total market value of these shares was $17,955 . Pursuant to the elimination of further interest accumulation under the Third Amended and Restated Note, the outstanding principal and the accrued interest has been discounted to reflect imputed interest, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the loan. On December 31, 2014 , the Company also recorded a charge in the amount of $409 to write-off the required one-tenth of the principal amount of the Third Amended and Restated Note, which was partially offset by $156 of accrued interest.

Net Income Per Share of Common Stock [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share of Common Stock	Net Income Per Share of Common Stock Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which does not include unvested restricted common stock subject to forfeiture of 4,068,000 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively, compared to 4,161,000 and 4,170,000 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively. Diluted net income per share reflects: (a) the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period, and (b) the vesting of granted nonvested restricted stock awards for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost not yet recognized attributable to future services using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , options to purchase approximately 0 and 12,000 shares of common stock, respectively, have been excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as compared to 326,000 and 210,000 shares that were excluded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , as the result would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , all unvested restricted stock awards were dilutive.

On May 25, 2012, the stockholders approved a third amendment to the Plan that increased the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan to 23,466,000 . The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock authorized for use under the Plan, the number of stock-based awards granted (net of expired or cancelled awards) under the Plan and the number of shares of common stock available for the grant of stock-based awards under the Plan: Common stock authorized 23,466,000 Stock-based awards, including restricted stock and stock options granted, net of expired or cancelled (19,070,000 ) Common stock available for grant of stock-based awards as of June 30, 2015 4,396,000 Total equity-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Restricted stock $ 3,568 $ 3,728 $ 7,328 $ 7,513 Stock options 756 1,124 1,754 2,263 Total $ 4,324 $ 4,852 $ 9,082 $ 9,776 Equity-based compensation is included in operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Stock Options Cash proceeds and intrinsic values related to total stock options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Proceeds from stock options exercised $ 2,897 $ 511 $ 19,703 $ 1,032 Intrinsic value of stock options exercised $ 1,848 $ 549 $ 29,294 $ 1,135 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , options to purchase approximately 94,674 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $25.55 and options to purchase approximately 393,201 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $26.70 vested, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , options to purchase approximately 193,264 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $19.36 and options to purchase approximately 430,774 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $21.16 vested, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 , there were unvested options relating to 712,206 shares of common stock outstanding with a total of $6,090 of unrecognized compensation cost and an average vesting period of 2.50 years. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted, which requires several assumptions. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on the historical experience of similar awards. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk Note L – Equity-Based Compensation (continued) free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. With the exception of special dividends paid in November of 2005 and 2006, the Company historically has not paid regular cash dividends and thus the expected dividend rate is assumed to be zero. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 : 2015 2014 Volatility 22.4% to 28.3% 29.0% to 31.8% Risk free interest rate 0.99% to 1.60% 1.06% to 1.74% Expected life in years 4.1 to 5.1 4.1 to 5.1 Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% Weighted average fair value $8.70 $10.10 Activity relating to stock options granted under the Company’s plans and outside the plans during the six months ended June 30, 2015 is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at January 1, 2015 3,428,000 $ 19.48 Granted 59,000 35.78 Exercised (1,309,000 ) 15.06 Cancelled/Forfeited (9,000 ) 29.59 Outstanding at June 30, 2015 2,169,000 $ 22.57 5.0 years $ 42,046 Exercisable at June 30, 2015 1,457,000 $ 17.55 2.5 years $ 35,558 Restricted Stock The following table summarizes restricted stock activity during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 : 2015 2014 Number of Shares Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date Number of Shares Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date Non-vested at January 1, 4,067,000 $ 24.69 4,257,000 $ 24.24 Granted 246,000 36.40 161,000 35.12 Vested (222,000 ) 22.94 (228,000 ) 24.28 Forfeited (68,000 ) 34.27 (2,000 ) 27.03 Non-vested at June 30, 4,023,000 $ 25.16 4,188,000 $ 24.51 As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had $76,720 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards granted under the Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 7.50 years. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock awards based on the market price of its common stock on the date of grant. Note L – Equity-Based Compensation (continued) On January 3, 2012, the Company and its Creative and Design Chief, Steven Madden, entered into an amendment of Mr. Madden’s existing employment agreement, pursuant to which, on February 8, 2012, Mr. Madden was granted 1,463,057 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at the then market price of $27.34 , which will vest in equal annual installments over a seven-year period commencing on December 31, 2017 and, thereafter, on each December 31 through December 31, 2023, subject to Mr. Madden’s continued employment on each such vesting date. Pursuant to the contract, on June 30, 2012, Mr. Madden exercised his right to receive an additional restricted stock award, and, on July 3, 2012, he was granted 1,893,342 restricted shares of the Company's common stock at the then market price of $21.13 , which will vest in the same manner as the aforementioned grant.

The total purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $25,172 , which is subject to a working capital adjustment. The total purchase price includes a cash payment at closing of $15,336 , plus potential earn-out payments based on the achievement of certain earnings targets for each of the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2015 and 2016. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management's projections of the financial results of SM Mexico during the earn-out period. At December 31, 2014 , the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $9,836 . The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method required by GAAP. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of SM Mexico were recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated as follows: Note M – Acquisitions (continued) Accounts Receivable $ 890 Inventory 4,760 Fixed assets 1,525 Other assets 4,065 Accounts payable (4,144 ) Deposits & other (1,241 ) Total fair value excluding goodwill 5,855 Goodwill 19,317 Net assets acquired $ 25,172 The allocation of the purchase price is based on certain preliminary valuations and analysis that have not been completed as of the date of this filing. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed upon the finalization of more detailed analysis, within the measurement period, will change the allocation of the purchase price. Any subsequent changes to the purchase price allocation that are material will be adjusted retroactively. Contingent consideration classified as a liability will be remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, until the contingency is resolved, with changes recognized in earnings. The goodwill related to this transaction is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. Dolce Vita On August 13, 2014, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Dolce Vita Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Dolce Vita”).

The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management's projections of the financial results of Dolce Vita during the earn-out period. At August 13, 2014, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $4,616 . The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method required by GAAP. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Dolce Vita were recorded at their fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identified intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards [Abstract]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Accounting Standards Update 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting guidance, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on revenue recognition. The new standard provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as requires additional financial statement disclosures that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date by one year. In accordance with the delay, the new standard is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date of the standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy	Basis of Reporting The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Steven Madden, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain adjustments were made to prior years' amounts to conform to the 2015 presentation. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Significant areas involving management estimates include allowances for bad debts, returns and customer chargebacks, inventory valuation, valuation of intangible assets, litigation reserves and contingent payment liabilities. The Company provides reserves on trade accounts receivables and factor receivables for future customer chargebacks and markdown allowances, discounts, returns and other miscellaneous compliance related deductions that relate to the current period sales. The Company evaluates anticipated chargebacks by reviewing several performance indicators of its major customers. These performance indicators, which include retailers’ inventory levels, sell-through rates and gross margin levels, are analyzed by management to estimate the amount of the anticipated customer allowance.
Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist primarily of certificates of deposit and corporate bonds with maturities greater than three months and up to ten years at the time of purchase as well as marketable equity securities. These securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of any tax effect, reported in stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , gains of $0 and $96 were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement in other income compared to gains of $2 and $4 for the comparable periods in 2014 . These securities are classified as current and non-current marketable securities based upon their maturities. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , the amortization of bond premiums totaled $ 348 and $693 compared to $136 and $273 for the comparable periods in 2014 . The values of these securities may fluctuate as a result of changes in equity values, market interest rates and credit risk. The schedule of maturities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows: Maturities as of Maturities as of 1 Year or Less 1 to 10 Years 1 Year or Less 1 to 10 Years Corporate bonds $ 12,776 $ 89,429 $ 11,363 $ 90,446 Certificates of deposit 18,434 — 19,835 — Total $ 31,210 $ 89,429 $ 31,198 $ 90,446
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue on wholesale sales when (i) products are shipped pursuant to its standard terms, which are freight on board (“FOB”) Company warehouse, or when products are delivered to the consolidators, or any other destination, as per the terms of the customers’ purchase order, (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. Sales reductions on wholesale sales for anticipated discounts, allowances and other deductions are recognized during the period when sales are recorded. With the exception of our cold weather accessories business, we do not accept returns from our wholesale customers unless there are product quality issues, which we charge back to the vendors. Sales of cold weather accessories to wholesale customers are recorded net of returns, which are estimated based on historical experience. Such amounts have historically not been material. Retail sales are recognized when the payment is received from customers and are recorded net of estimated returns. The Company generates commission income acting as a buying agent by arranging to manufacture private label shoes to the specifications of its customers. The Company’s commission revenue also includes fees charged for its design, product and development services provided to certain suppliers in connection with the Company’s private label business. Commission revenue and product and development fees are recognized as earned when title to the product transfers from the manufacturer to the customer and collections are reasonably assured and are reported on a net basis after deducting related operating expenses. The Company licenses its Steve Madden® and Steven by Steve Madden® trademarks for use in connection with the manufacture, marketing and sale of sunglasses, eyewear, outerwear, bedding, hosiery, women's fashion apparel, jewelry, watches and luggage. In addition, the Company licenses the Betsey Johnson® and Betseyville® trademarks for use in connection with the manufacture, marketing and sale of apparel, jewelry, swimwear, eyewear, watches, fragrances and outerwear. The license agreements require the licensee to pay the Company a royalty and, in substantially all of the agreements, an advertising fee based on the higher of a minimum or a net sales percentage as defined in the various agreements. In addition, under the terms of retail selling agreements, most of the Company’s international distributors are required to pay the Company a royalty based on a percentage of net sales, in addition to a commission and a design fee on the purchases of the Company’s products. Licensing revenue is recognized on the basis of net sales reported by the licensees, or the minimum guaranteed royalties, if higher. In substantially all of the Company’s license agreements, the minimum guaranteed royalty is earned and receivable on a quarterly basis.
Revenue Recognition, Allowances [Policy Text Block]	Sales Deductions The Company supports retailers’ initiatives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on the retail floor by subsidizing the co-op advertising programs of such retailers, providing them with inventory markdown allowances and participating in various other marketing initiatives of its major customers. In addition, the Company accepts returns for damaged products for which the Company’s costs are normally charged back to the responsible third-party factory. Such expenses are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements as deductions to net sales.
