Customer Reviews Steve Madden Troopa Combat Boot

First of all they look great! When I had just opened the box I was a little skeptical because they looked too stiff and narrow, but once I put them on I loved them. They fit my feet perfectly and theyre super comfortable. Buy them!

I bought these boots for my daughter. She chose them and she loves them. The inside zipper makes them easy to put on and take off and I have to say they are very cool looking!

Love the boots! I ordered this boot in the cognac and the color is beautiful. The leather is nice and the boot has a worn-in look that is not cheap or tacky looking. They look great loose or fully laced. In regard to the size, I purchased them in my usual size 7 and they fit. The length is right, but the arch is quite low and a tad snug getting on. If you have high arches or if you intend to wear a thick sock, I would definitely recommend going a half size larger.

If you have thin ankles and calves, this boot is for you! Comfortable and fits like a glove! Zipper is a little rough.

Love these boots. I wear an 9 1/2 and that is what fit in these as well. Maybe a tiny snug to get on, but they will stretch for sure. Wish I could get them in brown!

Oooh, I love these boots! I bought them in brown and then in black. Very comfortable. Extremely versatile cute with shorts, dresses, skinny jeans. I have skinny legs and they make me feel really cute. I own my own salon and stand on my feet 8 hours. I can not recommend these boots highly enough. Order a 1/2 size bigger. Very soft leather, especially the brown nubuck. You will love all the ways you can wear these boots. Zappos is the best if you have any problems but I know you will love these boots. Happy Fall, Welcome Winter.

I am surprised that someone said these boots run large. I went to try them on at a Steve Madden store. I have always been a 5 in women's shoes - a 3 in Mens. My feet are tiny and rather narrow. When I tried on a 5.5 they were extremely tight and I had to buy a 6 if I wanted to wear any socks with them. I've never bought a 6 in anything! I also tried on a 5 in the Harllem style (which looks exactly the same) and they were much softer and fit well, but cost more. So far I love them, but I am definitely hoping I made the right choice as it seems the Harllem style (in a true-to-size 5) was much comfier!

The shoe is absolutely beautiful! And so far, it's comfortable. The only downside is that the tongue is a little weird. You have to kind of play with it until it sits right on your shin. Other than that, the boot is so beautiful!

Had to initially send back the first pair - uneven color. But the second pair were fine. Love them, comfortable but not for long walks. Trendy, fun, great with skinny jeans tucked in. Such a good price, I also bought them in black.

Loved the boots! I was so excited to get them that I didn't notice that one of the zippers had come unstitched at the bottom until I wore them.

Had to send these back because they were too long and narrow. The color was also lighter than in the picture and the toe and heel pieces were of a darker leather making the shoe look two tone instead having a consistent aged look. Not the end of the world but since the fit was also weird.

I purchased these boots in a 5.5 because I have the other Steve Madden "Harllem boot" in that size; however, the size 5.5 in this model felt more like a 6.5. They were huge. I have narrow feet and wear between a 3 and a 3.5 in kids so a 5 or 5.5 always fits me perfect. In this boot it is not the case. If you have a wide foot, you may be fine in ordering your normal size as they do not run small and in my opinion run really big. I would need a size 5 and unfortunately the sizing stops at 5.5 so I had to return them. Also the material is another thing I want to address, all of the other Troopa boots which include the cognac and the black are a shiny leather, these are not shiny hard leather. They are more like a Timberland leather and are soft. If you are unfamiliar with nubuck material, I suggest looking at a pair of Timberlands to get an idea. Overall, the shiny leather is more appealing and if these were designed in that way, they would be much better design wise, and fit wise. Hope this helps!

Love these boots. Bought both colors. Highly recommend!!!

These boots are awesome. The leather is luxurious, they are not bulky as some combat boots are, the zipper runs smoothly, and the leather smell is amazing. I purchased two pairs of these boots in the past month for my daughter and granddaughter and they both feel they run a half size larger than their other boots, although they both have very narrow feet. I purchased these boots for myself a year ago in my normal size and I can fit a heavy sock in the boot with no problem. Love these boots! You will not regret the purchase!

My daughter loves these shoes as a 13 year old girl. I have bought them 3 times as she outgrows them.

These are very comfortable shoes! I got a pair for my daughter and one for myself and we both love them! Fit is true to size.

Great deal for these boots. Leather is thin and a bit stiff - but leather at this price is usually like that (if you can find leather at ALL). SUPER comfortable!!!! Felt like I’d always had them when i put them on!

Every season except summer, my 16-year-old daughter lives in these boots! This purchase was replacing a previous pair of the same style, which lasted after 2 years or so of lots of wear (we live in NYC, and she walks a lot). They're stylish, comfortable, and durable. Thumbs up!

I am usually a 9 and did a 91/2 and they are perfect. I have tons of Steve Madden shoes and would say to go up a 1/2 size on the Troopa. After the 3rd or 4th time of wearing they are much more comfortable. Super cute on.

Another “just because” gift for my niece. Another “love them” response. Thank you Zappo!

The fit is excellent.

These are my favorite boots. I bought some a few years back and wore them until they fell apart. When it was time to replace them, I thought I could possibly find a cheaper replacement (when I had purchased them years ago they were more expensive)... why even bother? I can’t find any other boots that fit me as well as Steve Madden. These boots require no breaking in. They are stylish and comfortable. I often wear them to work (I’m a bartender, on my feet all night) they are great quality and last me a few years. Very happy with Steve Madden boots.

I love, love, love these boots. I initially bought these for a trip to the southwest and they've held up great through a variety of terrainsâ??dusty desert, muddy fields, city streets. They're fashionable, sturdy, versatile, and super comfortable. I found the Cognac color to be darker than pictured, but I like it all the same.

The quality is excellent. The color in Cognac is beautiful and goes with a lot of things that I have. It seems really versatile. I returned the Black color because for some reason I just didn't like it nearly as much in that color. The Cognac, though, is beautiful. It's super comfortable. Perfectly true to size. I'm a 10, I got a 10, and it's perfect. I have narrower lower calves, so I was worried it would be too wide up top, but it was fine because you can lace it tighter as well as use the zipper on the side. I have narrower feet, and the lacing also helped with that. A great shoe all around. Worth every penny.
