Customer Reviews Steve Madden Banddit Boot

Needed to order a half a size larger because the toe box was too small. Otherwise love the boots!

I’m glad that I read the reviews before ordering this style. I have 6 pairs of freebirds by Steven and I know they can run small but a few reviews said these run big so I ordered a half size up and they fit perfectly! I’m in love with these boots!

This is my 4th time buying some version of these boots and as long as my buddy Steve keeps rerunning them every fall season, you can bet I'll be buying them. They're staple boots that look great with leggings and skinny jeans. I'd say they run slightly larger because of the soft leather that is used to make these. Love.

I love these boots. I followed the advice of other reviews and ordered a half size small, but sadly, that didn’t work for me. They are true to size.

Love them but run small

great style!

Great boot! have been wanting for 5 years finally saw them and sadly no size 9. Ordered 8.5 too snug... i have now ordered a 10 and will double socks if I have to :) I'm on a list for a 9 if they ever come in. 5 years i've been waiting LOL

I LOVE IT! Beautiful craftsmanship, leather is very high quality. I was on the fence which size to order (9.5 or 10), ordered 10 and it fits well with little room for warm socks. I'm happy. Totally worth the high price tag. Style and color just as expected based on the photos and video here.

These are officially my new favorite shoes! I love them. Before I even opened the box I could smell the leather. Which is great quality. People complain about the straps being too long but I haven't had an issue with that. I just buckled it in the last available hole and it works just fine. I do have to agree that some of the holes are hard to get the buckle into. Like they look like there's a hole but it doesn't go all the way through. Honestly it doesn't bother me. If I need to use any of them Ill just punch through it with one of my husbands tools. When I first put these shoes on I was afraid I would have to return because they felt a little tight. I wear an 8.5 and ordered an 8.5. Could definitely wear a 9 in these shoes but I found with wearing them a few times that they stretched just enough that they feel comfortable. Worst case scenario if they feel a little tight you can take them to a cobbler and they can stretch them for you for a few bucks. Overall these boots are great! Next winter I will be living in them. :)

I am a size 8. After reading the previous reviews I thought I would go a half size or a size up. 8.5 or 9 were not available in black so I took a chance and got the brown in 8. They were a little snug on the top of my feet, but after walking around in them they were fine. When putting them on they felt a bit tight-can't wear thick socks with them, but I don't mind. I think the 8.5 or 9 would be a little too big so I'm glad I went with the 8. They look great with leggings or jeans. They smell oh so great... I hope an 8 in black gets restocked soon!

I usually wear a 7.5 if it's available, sometimes 8. I ordered the 7.5 and it was a bit too snug so I got the 8 and love them. I was afraid my heel would slip up when I walk but they're totally comfy and I'm comfortable riding my motorcycle in them. Sweet boots.

I have been eyeing these boots for quite some time and made sure my honey got them for me for my birthday. Love them! They are insanely comfortable. I can go from riding my motorcycle straight to working 10-12 hour days standing up in a retail pharmacy. I read the reviews about people getting it a 1/2 a size to a full size larger and that was a huge mistake. I'm normally an 8.5 and have somewhat wide feet. I got the 9 based on the reviews and had to return it for the 8.5. The quality lives up to the standards of all Steve Madden shoes and I think it's a great buy.

Love these boots. I am a size 6 1/2 and they fit perfectly. First night I owned them I wore them out on the town and walked miles in them. No blisters or rubbing, did not even have to break them in. I want a pair in every color.

I love these shoes, I really shouldn't have waited so long to order them. They're comfy, durable, and so freakin cute. I get compliments every time I wear them. I was worried the 11's would look a little too man-ish and combat like but they're pretty much perfect.

Can you really go wrong with any footwear by Steve Madden? I think not! These boots are bitchin'... comfy as can be (I found sizing to be right on, per the reviews) and look good with whatever you throw on for the day... thanks again Steve (and Zappos)!

I got these boots and loved the look, thought they appeared to look small and were they ever. I wear a 7.5 and my toes were all the way to the end. will try again in a 8.5. Would like the stone leather but can't seem to find them now.

Love these boots! I get compliments on them all the time. I normally wear an 8 but after reading a few reviews, I bought the 7 1/2, at first they felt too tight, but now that they are broken in, I'm glad I bought a half size smaller, the fit perfect, they do loosen up a lot.

I spent months pining for this shoe until I finally broke down and bought it despite the price. Best idea ever! It is worth the price as it has a completely smooth, soft leather upper that smells amazing. The sole is sturdy yet giving and flexible. I've walked all day in them, and my feet felt fine. And to top it all off, they look amazing with everything - jeans, skirts, leggings. Love them.

Well made, durable. A little utilitarian in feel. Returned them for a classier boot.

Very nice leather, unlined which is ideal, but the shoe sole is all black versus what is in the picture, giving it a very different look and feel. They were also too narrow in the toe box (I prefer roomier toe boxes). I will be returning these for those reasons. These would be great for someone with a regular to narrow fit and who does not mind a different all-black sole. The adjustable belt loops allow for a custom fit across the instep. Excellent price point if they work for you!

These were tough to wiggle on, but felt good on my feet. The open top gave it a bit of a slouchy, pirate look so I returned them, but they are a nice option if you have wider ankles or prefer something loose at the top. Comfy and true to size.

They have really soft and nice leather but I just didn't like the floppy big top on them, even with the straps at the tightest notches. They fit real nice and were comfortable but I returned them because of the loose top.

I really wish these boots ran small like the other reviewer said, but sadly, they did not.

These boots are extremely well made and I would have kept them but I trouble putting them on. When I did get them on, they were much too small and narrow. Disappointed
