Equity [Abstract]
Share Repurchase Program [Text Block]	Share Repurchase Program The Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), effective as of January 1, 2004. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration or termination date and may be modified or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time. On several occasions the Board of Directors has increased the amount authorized for repurchase of the Company's common stock. Most recently, on April 24, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the extension of the Company's Share Repurchase Program for up to $200,000 in repurchases of the Company's common stock, which includes the amount remaining under the prior authorization. The Share Repurchase Program permits the Company to effect repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases or in privately negotiated transactions at such prices and times as are determined to be in the best interest of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an aggregate of 2,268,419 shares of the Company's common stock were repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, at a weighted average price per share of $32.27, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $73,202, which includes the amount remaining under the prior authorization. As of September 30, 2019, approximately $141,759 remained available for future repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program. The Steven Madden, Ltd. 2019 Incentive Compensation Plan provides the Company with the right to deduct or withhold, or require employees to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations applicable to stock-based compensation awards. To the extent permitted, employees may elect to satisfy all or part of such withholding obligations by tendering to the Company previously owned shares or by having the Company withhold shares having a fair market value equal to the employee's withholding tax obligation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an aggregate of 100,525 shares were withheld in connection with the settlement of vested restricted stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements, at an average price per share of $32.86, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3,303.
