Customer Reviews Steve Madden Troopa Combat Boot

I've had these boots for three years now, if they've been making them that long, and they have not fallen apart or been defective in any way. I'm a rather clumsy person, so I tend to run into things a lot and walk with a heavy step, so the boots are scuffed beyond any repair, but I personally think it gives them more character. A lot of the reviews say that the soles fall off after a few months, but after years of wear, my soles are as intact as the day I bought them, just more run down. I would definitely recommend these boots to anyone and everyone because they go with everything and they are extremely comfortable. I've worn them on all sorts of activities from hiking to nice dinners out. These seriously are the best boots.I would definitely say that they are worth your money. If you take care of them after you beat them up or get them dirty, they will definitely last you a long time no matter what you do in them.

I tried these on in a store and really liked the fit and style. They are soft with a large folded tongue which might seem odd but somehow it works. Very comfortable for all day walking. I gave the style a 3 star because I am not a fan of the color which is a kind of fake looking distressed saddle color that has too much orange in it. But I did not want another pair of black boots and I am hoping they will wear a bit over time and the color will get better. I would have preferred just a rich brown that would distress naturally but they did not make one.

These look great, I've worn them almost nonstop since I got them. The ONLY thing is they felt really narrow on my already-narrow feet. But after breaking them in, they are perfectly comfortable. I wouldn't recommend them for anyone with super wide feet, however.

I love the look of these shoes, and have received many compliments. They do tend to chafe and blister the skin right under the ankles, and I managed to scratch the suede in the first week. If you're gentle to your shoes these are fantastic.

The Troopa is so comfortable! I have bad feet and I can wear them all day long. I don't like the laces on the Camel Leather as much as the other colors but I just switched them out.

Gorgeous, rich and versatile color. Vintage but not distressed. These boots look classic and I got tons of compliments but...they are not the most comfortable boot. They are a tad stiff and not super cozy for all day wear if a lot of walking is involved. Having said that, I would recommend them.

Adorable, great lester, A+ for style, fairly comfortable I think its going to take awhile to break in, I felt a little rubbing after wearing an entire day with lots of walking, might start out with a thick sock if they are new.

I recently recovered from a broken ankle, and wanted a stylish boot with ankle support. These boots are not are comfortable, stylish and supportive - at a great price!

Love these! Exactly what I was looking for! Feminine combat boot...not too "manly", nice worn look and the color (Olive) is a perfect Khaki that will match anything! I usually wear an 8 but the 7.5's fit perfect. Only problem is the zipper was broken when I tried them on. Need to exchange, but I know that Zappos will make it easy!

I don't get the negative reviews for these boots...great product. Tough and versatile, but still feminine. Have owned these for over a year and they are well worn, but still look great. I am extremely tough on shoes, and the soles of these still almost look like new. The only thing is I should have weatherproofed these...the leather has started to take on a nasty green tinge - hoping polishing will fix the problem.

LOVE these boots. So comfy and go with everything. I wear them almost every day. The one complaint i would have is that the front part of both shoes scuffed super easily right away.

I've been pretty happy with these boots. They're fairly versatile-- they're cute and stylely with leggings or skinny jeans, and they look professional under wider cut pants. After a little breaking in, they are decently comfortable. I have somewhat high arches, so if I walk too much in a day wearing them my feet start to hurt, but on a normal day they do fine. My only concern is about them holding up (for the price I'm hoping they'll look nice enough to wear to work for at least a few years). I've had them for about a month and so far they have held up pretty well (scuffs seem to rub off easily), though I got a little nick in the leather from the toe clip on my bike and the leather is lot lighter color underneath the top thin layer.

I bought these boots over a year ago and I am still in love with them as much as I am now! They scuff pretty easily but for me it adds to the look. The shoes are really comfortable and easy to put on. A minor setback about these boots is that my laces got worn very easily. The bottom of my shoe is starting to loosen from the leather but that is due to them being older. It is definitely a must buy!

The shoe runs a little big (go half a size smaller). Overall i like the look/design of the shoe, although the leather does look a little fake. They are pretty comfortable and decent value for the price.

Very comfortable hippie boot right out of the box. Love the purple, boots come looking very worn which is fine for me but I could see others being a little disappointed in the 'used' look.

I love these boots! They are very fashionable, cute with a nice blouse or a plain t-shirt. I have not had them for long so I cannot comment on the soles of the shoes. They do crease easy, but what can you do about that. Overall I like them. They are a little pricey, so I will be waiting a while to get another pair.

This is a great looking boot at a relatively low price. I'm sorry the other customers are finding they don't last long, but I'd buy these even knowing they are good for only one season: they look that good. (Though that's a little pricey for only one season!) We bought them in Stone color and they look as great as the photo. The only other way to go is to price up and go with Dr. Martens or Frye, and those can get pretty spendy, or maybe try some of the Harley-Davidsons.

Love the shoes! I was getting tired of the traditional, close the the knee, boots, and wanted something a little funkier. These are great - pair them with jeans, a dress, skirt, anything. I will say, however, that the tip of the boot has changed color dramatically. I will simply add some shoe polish, but it did happen quite quicker than it should have. Additionally, while they are comfortable and easy to wear, you may want to add a heel or foot insole. They are very flat shoes, and after wearing for a long amount of time, your feet are tired. Regardless, for a somewhat inexpensive boot, I highly recommend.

These boots look beautiful and work well fastened to the top or fastened half way and tied around the ankle. They are the perfect feminine military style boot. The only criticism is that they are very lightweight, so I don't know how good the quality is, or how long the sole will last. But they are beautiful!

Extremely comfortable and stylish. Great to wear with pants or shirts. I have flat feet so i had to insert my arch support into my shoes with no problems.

My 12 year old daughter loves these. Comfortable, walked long distances in them. Easily scuffed, however, need to get some polish to try and fix up after wearing only twice.

Loved the look of these shoes. They took a little bit of wearing in but once they stretched out a bit they were extremely comfortable. They did get holes in the soles within 4-5 months of wearing them and the zipper on the left shoe broke within 1 month. I just ended up wrapping the laces around the boot for security but it would have been nice to have the zipper, especially on rainy days. These boots are super cute, I received a lot of compliments, but for the price I just wish they would have held up a little longer.

These boots are attractive. The side zipper makes it easy to get them on and off even going through airline security. The laces do not always stay tied.

This boot is nice. It's not tight around the leg at all. It's a little on the looser side which is what I wanted. It seems looser than in the picture. You can wear thick socks and/or leg warmers without the boot constricting your leg. Also they look amazing. They can do-up an outfit and they can also be very casual. They go with just about everything. They seem fairly durable as well. They're not heavy duty sturdy though. They're fairly comfortable. Also there is not really any grip on the bottom of the boot towards the front and only the heel has grip. But once the bottom gets scuffed up a little there really isn't any problem. The quality is decent/good but it could be better considering how much they cost. But if you value style than it's worth the money.
