Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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 (“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) that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 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, 2024 included in the Annual Report of Steven Madden, Ltd. on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025. All references in this Quarterly Report to “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Steven Madden, Ltd. and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-05, "Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement," which is intended to provide guidance for the formation of a joint venture, including the initial measurement of assets and liabilities, the formation date, and basis of accounting. This new standard is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2023-05 and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)," which is intended to provide greater transparency in various income tax components that affect the rate reconciliation based on the applicable taxing jurisdictions, as well as the qualitative and quantitative aspects of those components. This new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09. The Company does not expect that this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, but it will require increased income tax disclosures within the notes to its condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income -Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)," which requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures. This new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03. The Company does not expect that this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements, but it will require increased disclosures within the notes to its consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets," which introduces a practical expedient for estimating credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software," which removes references to project stages, and requires capitalization of software costs to begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the intended function. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no additional pronouncements that may have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
