Notes Receivable [Abstract] |
Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block] | Notes Receivable As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Notes Receivable were comprised of the following:
|  | March 31, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
Note receivable from seller of SM Canada |  | $2,461 |  | $3,171
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. and Gelati Imports Inc. (collectively, "SM Canada"), 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 acquisition). The note will be paid in five annual installments which are due on the dates that the five annual earn-out payments are paid. The note was recorded net of the imputed interest, which will be amortized to income over the term of the note. The first payment of principal was made in January 2014. To the extent that the contingent consideration in the form of the earn-out is not achieved, the repayment of the note may result in less than the entire principal amount of the loan being repaid. In such event the unpaid principal of the note will be forgiven.
