Customer Reviews Steve Madden Troopa Combat Boot

Super cute and I love how versatile these are and that they are perfect basics. Since I ordered the grey leather ones they are much more subtle than the black. I am very happy with my purchase.

Love these boots! I bought the Grey Distress and they look just like the picture. I normally wear a Size 9 shoe, but 8 1/2 in SM boots. They were perfect.

Love, love, love these boots, they are comfortable, funky and I know I'll be wearing them a lot this Fall, Winter and Spring. I also bought them in black leather, the Purple boot ran a little larger than the black for some reason. But I would stick to your own size, don't go up or down a size.

I LOVE these boots with all of my heart! They are adorable and they go with so many different styles. I have two colors so far, the black and the stone. I plan on buying at least two more colors by the end of the summer just in time for fall! I wore my black ones every day for the entire winter and did not have a single problem with them. They are extremely comfortable and stylish. I could not ask for more in a boot!

Just got these boots and their better in person than in picture. Absolutely love them. Buy them - it's worth the money.

I've acquired a large collection of Troopas since 2011 and I currently own 7 pairs of them. I bought two (natural leather and the brown leather) back when they first came out in early 2011 and had a wood sole. The quality has not waned since, though the size altered slightly. The new rubber sole appears more durable and I actually prefer it to the wood. These shoes are nothing short of perfection (each and every color I own) and I get compliments on them often. They are all great to wear across a variety of styles- skinny jeans, skirts, dresses, tights, shorts, etc. The traditional black pair of Troopas I have had since May 2011 have held up through daily, rough wear. They have been across my college campus for two years in gravel, have been exposed to snow and rain (though this is not recommended in the slightest!), and were worn daily on a long vacation in Tokyo. Though every pair I have shows wear from being scuffed, scraped, and trekked across gravel, the basic colors can easily be restored with shoe polish. (However, I did purchase a new pair of black ones this past week to replace my originals...in preparation for the day they do give out.) I've found no causes for disappointment in any pair of Troopas I've bought; the soles will wear down over time, as expected, though none of my Troopas show signs of wear except for scuffs and scrapes from my own doing. I would suggest purchasing insoles if you plan on wearing these for a long day of walking though, for my arches ache if I wear them without my insoles. If you purchase lighters colors, take care though - if you get them wet, water stains may appear and are usually irreversible. My natural leather and light blue pair were worn outside when it began to rain...though they are meant to look distressed, the water spots are still there. I also made the mistake of wearing the natural leather ones underneath some boot cut jeans...the indigo of the denim rubbed onto the shoes and has faded over time thankfully. (However, these issues have not been very noticeable.) I purchased the blue denim leather ones yesterday and they are just as excellent as the first pair from 2011. If you are looking for a staple boot in your collection in any color, Troopas should be your first choice. I highly recommend them for a durable and fashionable shoe.

I love these boots! I bought these boots to replace a previous pair that I had worn to pieces over the last three years. They are the best everyday boots for a busy mom! You can wear them all the way laced up under or over jeans or loosely laced over skinnies. The zipper side makes on and off very easy without messing with the laces every time! Only wish they had some arch support.

These boots are one of my favorite purchases! They are beyond comfortable and super cute! Every time I wear them I get more compliments than I can count! Money well spent!

I love these boots. The color is great and kind of rustic. They do come with some built in flaws, but I believe they're on purpose, just be prepared. The boots fit and feel great. They smell deliciously of leather. I'm excited to wear them when the weather gets cooler and see how comfortable they are over a long day.

These boots are super high quality. I opened the box and the scent of leather immediately filled the air. Trying them on my foot felt completely secure and supported. I love the convenience of the zipper on the side.

These are so comfortable and cute! I get so many compliments on these they are without a doubt my favorite boots. I love these and are so worth buying!

Beautiful boot. I use them for riding boots, they easily fit any bill. Nicely put together. Comfortable boot. Seems to run a little big though. I'm an 8 and could probably used a 7 1/2.

I love this boot! It looks great with a sundress or leggings or jeans. The Stone works with any color outfit.

These boots are so comfortable! I bought two pairs, one in black the other in brown. They are true to size and look great with long skirts and jeans.

Great boot. Can dress up with leggings, dress or shorts, or go great with jeans. Moderate comfort. Great addition to have in your shoe collection.

These boots are great, very well made. They run half a size big in my opinion, so order down. Put some insoles in because they're not super comfortable, but I also walked all around a new city as soon as I got them without blisters.

These boots are great. They are comfortable and the color is amazing. Tried to get them at another store and they sold out immediately. I was so glad that Zappos had them.

I LOVE these boots! I purchased them in black, size 8. I typically wear a size 8 in most shoes/boots and these fit PERFECTLY from the moment I tried them on. My mom didn't know what to get me for my birthday, so she gave me money as a gift, and told me to buy something for myself; something I've really been wanting. I bought these boots with the $ and they are the BEST birthday gift I received! I haven't been this excited about a pair of shoes/boots in awhile! So cute! Extremely stylish! Very comfortable! Quality leather; can't beat the price! The zipper glides easily with NO tugging or straining. I would definitely purchase these again (and may just do so, in another color. I have my eye on the cognac!) These are EXACTLY what I was looking for in a combat-style boot!!! I wanted quality, style, and something with just a bit of an "edge", but nothing too crazy (I'm a very young 42 year old). These look fabulous with leggings (the only thing I've worn them with so far). But they would also look great paired with long skirts, short skirts with tights, skinny jeans, etc. I am extremely pleased with this purchase! And of course, I am pleased as always, with the excellent service provided by Zappos!

I have these boots in 7 different colors. I love them. They are comfortable and go with so many different looks.

Zappos has been an exceptional company to deal with, and the shoes I've purchased are what I expected-stylish and really comfortable. Thanks Zappos, and please keep your great customer service!

Absolutely love these boots. I bought them in the cognac color. They are a little darker than I expected but they look good. I live in Steve Madden boots and heels. I have a closet full of Steve Madden boots. I usually wear a 7 to 7.5 in Steve Madden shoes. Size down in these. I got the 7 and they were huge still. I am sending them back and reordering them in a size 6.5. Hope this helps your decision to order these.

I love these boots! Basic combat-style boots, with long laces that I like to wrap around. I love leaving the top unlaced so it fans out, and the zipper on the inside is super cute unzipped a little. I've had people ask me if these are rag + bone - they really do look more expensive than they are. Definitely recommend. I'd say they run about a half size small - I'm usually a 7.5 and had to exchange for the 7 - thanks Zappos!

Boots were spot on for the cognac color I was hoping for and they are comfortable and really cute either with a sundress, leggings, jeans or shorts. Quite comfortable too, and true to size. May even buy a few in other colors. Definitely recommend.
