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 2016 presentation. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 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, 2015 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016.

Use of Estimates

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 $30,000 credit facility with a $15,000 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% . As of March 31, 2016 , no borrowings or letters of credit were outstanding. 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , Notes Receivable were comprised of the following: March 31, December 31, Note receivable from seller of SM Canada $ 1,238 $ 1,158 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 loan is payable in five annual installments due on dates that correspond with the five annual earn-out payment dates under the acquisition agreement (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). The note was recorded net of the imputed interest, which is being amortized to income over the term of the note. Any earn-out payment not achieved with respect to an earn-out period 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 loan will be forgiven.

Marketable Securities [Abstract]
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). 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 months ended March 31, 2016 , the amortization of bond premiums totaled $ 308 compared to $345 for the comparable period in 2015 . 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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 $ 13,303 $ 87,575 $ 11,240 $ 88,465 Certificates of deposit 21,116 — 21,184 — Total $ 34,419 $ 87,575 $ 32,424 $ 88,465 For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , losses of $779 were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement in other income compared to gains of $96 for the comparable period in 2015 . For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , current marketable securities included unrealized losses of $443 and long-term marketable securities included unrealized gains of $296 and unrealized losses of $350 .

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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows: March 31, 2016 Fair Value Measurements Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 2,756 $ 2,756 $ — $ — Current marketable securities – available for sale 34,419 34,419 — — Note receivable – related party 2,903 — — 2,903 Note receivable from seller of SM Canada 1,238 — — 1,238 Long-term marketable securities – available for sale 87,575 87,575 — — Forward contracts 72 72 Total assets $ 128,963 $ 124,750 $ 72 $ 4,141 Liabilities: Contingent consideration 21,292 — — 21,292 Total liabilities $ 21,292 $ — $ — $ 21,292 December 31, 2015 Fair Value Measurements Fair value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash equivalents $ 2,242 $ 2,242 $ — $ — Current marketable securities – available for sale 32,424 32,424 — — Note receivable – related party 2,990 — — 2,990 Note receivable from seller of SM Canada 1,158 — — 1,158 Long-term marketable securities – available for sale 88,465 88,465 — — Total assets $ 127,279 $ 123,131 $ — $ 4,148 Liabilities: Contingent consideration 24,775 — — 24,775 Total liabilities $ 24,775 $ — $ — $ 24,775 Note F – Fair Value Measurement (continued) The majority of our level 3 balances consist of contingent consideration related to various acquisitions and certain notes receivable. The changes in our level 3 assets and liabilities for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows: Balance at January 1, Payments Accrued Interest Acquisitions Change in estimate Foreign Currency Translation Balance at March 31, 2016 Assets: Note receivable – related party $ 2,990 (103 ) 16 $ 2,903 Note receivable – SM Canada $ 1,158 80 $ 1,238 Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 24,775 (3,483 ) $ 21,292 Balance at January 1, Payments Accrued Interest Acquisitions Change in estimate Foreign Currency Translation Balance at December 31, 2015 Assets: Note receivable – related party $ 3,328 (409 ) 71 $ 2,990 Note receivable – SM Canada $ 1,878 (466 ) (254 ) $ 1,158 Liabilities: Contingent consideration $ 38,633 (6,270 ) (5,576 ) (2,012 ) $ 24,775 Forward contracts are entered into to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in Mexican pesos. Fair value of these instruments are based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates. For the note receivable due from related party (see Note I) and due from the sellers of SM Canada (see Note D), the carrying value was determined to be the fair value, based upon their actual and imputed 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 all of the outstanding capital stock of Trendy Imports S.A. de C.V., Comercial Diecisiette S.A. de C.V. and Maximus Designer Shoes S.A. de C.V. (together, "SM Mexico"). Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the seller of SM Mexico, earn-out payments, if achieved, are 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 current portion of the earn-out due based on the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2015 approximates the recorded value. An earn-out payment of $3,483 for the period ended December 31, 2015 was paid to the seller of SM Mexico in the first quarter of this year. The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the August 13, 2014 acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of Dolce Vita Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Dolce Vita"). Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the seller of Dolce Vita, earn-out payments are 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. Note F – Fair Value Measurement (continued) 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, if achieved, are due annually to the seller of SM Canada based on the financial performance of SM Canada for each of the 12-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 Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the May 25, 2011 acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Cejon, Inc. and Cejon Accessories, Inc. and all of the outstanding membership interests in 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, if achieved, are 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 contingent payments was estimated using the present value of management’s projections of the financial results of Cejon during the earn-out period. Accounting guidance permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The accounting guidance also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that chose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The Company has elected not to measure any eligible items at fair value. 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. Fair value of the notes receivable held by the Company approximates their carrying value based upon their imputed or actual interest rate, which approximates applicable current market interest rates.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of cold weather accessories and Blondo products 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.

Receivables [Abstract]
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. Mr. Madden executed a secured promissory note in favor of the Company, for which a securities brokerage account maintained by Mr. Madden with his broker serves as collateral security. None of the securities held in the securities brokerage account are shares of the Company's common stock. There have been successive amendments of the secured promissory note, the most recent of which occurred on April 8, 2016, at which time the secured promissory note was amended to substitute the collateral securing the secured promissory note from shares of the Company's common stock to the security interest in Mr. Madden's securities brokerage account. Previously, on January 3, 2012, in connection with an amendment of Mr. Madden’s employment contract, the secured promissory note was amended and restated to extend the maturity date of the obligation to December 31, 2023 and eliminate the accrual of interest after December 31, 2011. Prior to its January 3, 2012 amendment and restatement, the secured promissory note was accruing interest at the rate of 6% per annum. In addition, the secured promissory 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. Contemporaneously, the Company will release its security interest in a portion of the securities held in Mr. Madden's securities brokerage account generally correlating to the amount of indebtedness cancelled on such date. As of December 31, 2011, $1,090 of interest has accrued on the principal amount of the loan evidenced by the secured promissory note 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. Pursuant to the elimination of further interest accumulation under the secured promissory note, the outstanding principal amount of the loan and the accrued interest as of March 31, 2016 has been discounted to reflect imputed interest, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the loan. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company also recorded a charge in the amount of $409 to write-off the required one-tenth of the principal amount of the secured promissory note, which was partially offset by accrued imputed interest of $71 .

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 4,113,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2016 , compared to 4,069,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015 . 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 non-vested 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 months ended March 31, 2016 , options to purchase approximately 363,000 shares of common stock have been excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as compared to 259,000 shares that were excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , as the result would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , all unvested restricted stock awards were dilutive.

The stockholders approved the Plan on May 26, 2006. On May 25, 2007, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan from 4,050,000 to 5,231,250 . On May 22, 2009, the stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan that, among other things, increased the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan to 13,716,000 . On May 25, 2012, the stockholders approved an 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 (19,864,000 ) Common stock available for grant of stock-based awards as of March 31, 2016 3,602,000 Note L – Equity-Based Compensation (continued) Total equity-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Restricted stock $ 4,143 $ 3,760 Stock options 784 998 Total $ 4,927 $ 4,758 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 months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Proceeds from stock options exercised $ 3,678 $ 16,807 Intrinsic value of stock options exercised $ 11,030 $ 27,446 During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , options to purchase approximately 214,328 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $31.63 vested. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 , options to purchase approximately 298,527 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $26.73 vested. As of March 31, 2016 , there were unvested options relating to 493,009 shares of common stock outstanding with a total of $4,235 of unrecognized compensation cost and an average vesting period of 0.94 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 : 2016 2015 Volatility 22.2% to 26.2% 23.7% to 28.3% Risk free interest rate 1.20% to 1.73% 0.99% to 1.60% Expected life in years 3.8 to 5.0 4.1 to 5.1 Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% Weighted average fair value $7.26 $8.48 Note L – Equity-Based Compensation (continued) Activity relating to stock options granted under the Company’s plans and outside the plans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at January 1, 2016 2,016,000 $ 23.51 Granted 63,500 31.91 Exercised (410,000 ) 9.00 Cancelled/Forfeited (16,000 ) 29.27 Outstanding at March 31, 2016 1,653,500 $ 27.36 3.4 years $ 16,012 Exercisable at March 31, 2016 1,161,000 $ 24.66 2.8 years $ 14,373 Restricted Stock The following table summarizes restricted stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 : 2016 2015 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, 4,055,000 $ 25.32 4,067,000 $ 24.69 Granted 273,000 34.06 191,000 35.80 Vested (126,000 ) 29.51 (135,000 ) 21.23 Forfeited — — — — Non-vested at March 31, 4,202,000 $ 25.81 4,123,000 $ 22.84 As of March 31, 2016 , the Company had $75,510 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 6.60 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. 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.
