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”) provides guidance for 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 E – Fair Value Measurement (continued) The Company’s financial assets and liabilities, subject to fair value measurements, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

Note E – Fair Value Measurement (continued) Our level 3 balance consists of contingent consideration related to the Schwartz & Benjamin acquisition. The changes in our level 3 liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:
| Balance at January 1, |  | Payments |  | Accrued Interest |  | Acquisitions |  | Change in estimate |  | Foreign Currency Translation |  | Balance at December 31,

Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Contingent consideration | $ | 7,948 |  |  | (7,359 | ) |  | — |  |  | 20,617 |  |  | (11,206 | ) |  | — |  |  | $ | 10,000 |

Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Contingent consideration | $ | 24,775 |  |  | (16,402 | ) |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | (425 | ) |  | — |  |  | $ | 7,948 |
The change in estimate of the contingent consideration as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 of $11,206 and $425 has been reflected as a reduction in operating expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Forward contracts are entered into to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. Fair value of these instruments are based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates. The Company has recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the January 30, 2017 acquisition of Schwartz & Benjamin. Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out provision contained in the equity purchase agreement, as amended, between the Company and the sellers of Schwartz & Benjamin, earn-out payments are based on the performance of certain specified license agreements. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of the payments based on management’s projections of the financial results of Schwartz & Benjamin during the earn-out period. The Company 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 were 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 first earn-out payment of $3,482 for the period ended December 31, 2015 was paid to the seller of SM Mexico in the first quarter of 2016. The earn-out payment of $4,618 for the period ended December 31, 2016 was paid to the seller of SM Mexico in 2017. The Company recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the February 21, 2012 acquisition of all of the assets of Steve Madden Canada Inc., Steve Madden Retail Canada Inc., Pasa Agency Inc. and Gelati Imports Inc. (collectively, “SM Canada”). Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out agreement between the Company and the seller of SM Canada, earn-out payments were 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 final earn-out payment of $2,741 for the period ended March 31, 2017 was paid to the seller of SM Canada in 2017. 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 Note E – Fair Value Measurement (continued) 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.
