I purchased these for my 13 year old son. HE LOVES THEM. I find the green laces to be a bit much, but they do come with black laces in the box. They are true to size, and for my son, who is very "fashion" picky, these fit the bill perfectly. He picked them out, so I know it must be popular with kids 13-17, because all of my sons liked them.

Great skate shoe. I listened to other reviewers and went with the half size smaller than usual. They fit perfect and grip the board well. I will buy another pair in the future.

This shoe looks a bit bigger than it actually is, and I noticed that it was lacking a bit of toe space at first, but the shoe has since stretched out enough to stay comfortable and fit right. I haven't been skating in them much yet, but it doesn't feel like they have as much grip as other vulcanized shoes. As far as I know, the white troopers are made of synthetic leather for those of you looking to avoid the suede or nubuck.

Great looking, nice feel, but get a size smaller!
I really like the look of this shoe. I should have listened to some of the other reviews that said to go a half a size smaller than normal. I normally wear a 13, in Pumas and Adidas and most formal shoes, and since they don't carry a 12 1/2 in the Vox, I decided to go for the 13's at first. They were way too big. Since I really liked the look I figured why not try a full size down, with the 12's. And whaddya know. They're just right. This may vary with the smaller sizes, where maybe just a half size down will do, but for my size it was a full step down.

Vox Trooper -
This shoe is good if it is the new version. The old version, with absolutely no padding, will break your feet if you try to skate them. If you buy these make sure they have new thicker insole, and the blue gel circle under the insole. Good for walking, very flexible vulk sole. Since they’re vulk, they will run big so get a half a size smaller, they will stretch out.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: If you like this shoe, get a vulcanized shoe.

The Trooper -
These shoes skate great and don't wear out too fast. Be sure to buy them small, about a half size for them to fit. Lastly the heel cushioning is top notch.

This is a pretty good shoe. However they do not have very much padding...at all. I wore these doing a seven stair, but if you are gonna bail a lot your feet are gonna hurt like hell. When I did an eight I had to use my friend’s shoes, because the Troopers did not have enough padding. For ledges, banks and flat ground these shoes are awesome. Great grip and board feel. The laces don't rip that fast if you use the lace protectors. As for looks, these shoes are awesome. This shoe gets you babes.

Best shoes over all -
I’ve been skating Vox since they came out; had the Strubing Hewitt’s and the Troopers. I love them all; the Trooper was my favorite. I skate street more than pools; most comfortable shoe I’ve used. Yeah they were down in about two or three weeks but they have like 4 layers and don’t get a hole in them for months. If you ask me best money I’ve spent.
Vox Trooper review -
Good looking shoe, very comfortable.
Tread wore down pretty fast and ripped even faster.

Great skate shoe -
Nice shoes. I have the dreamland edition, and they're great. Nice soles - good combination of grip and durability. Insoles not quite as soft as Vans, but still very comfortable. This is the first pair of skate shoes I've purchased recently that are NOT Vans. VOX reminds me of Vans before they were "trendy."

Great shoes. They are the first skate shoes I’ve ever had that aren't Vans. They fit perfectly and I really didn't have to break them in. I bought blue, I’m getting some black.

Vox trooper review -
I really like this shoe! I've purchased this shoe before elsewhere and loved it so much that I needed to get more pairs. I was just having problems finding them till i checked here. That's why I bought 2 pairs!! If you like a good gum sole and comfortable skate shoe, then the trooper is what you need to get.
