Customer Reviews Steve Madden Tornado Boot

Based on some reviews I was afraid that these shoes would be too narrow. I have wide feet. Well, imagine my delight when I tried them on and they turned out to be completely comfortable. They are so cool, too! I wear them with leggings or narrow jeans, and with a very casual dress with a big, slouchy sweater over it and a leather jacket. These boots are awesome and, in comparison to what else is available out there, very affordable.

Gifted these boots to my teen for her 16th—she LOVES them! Pros: nice leather, side zipper for easy on/off, substantial lug sole! Cons: long AF laces that annoyingly wrap around ankle so you need to retie boot every time you put them on. This was fixed by purchasing new 63” round black boot laces. Overall great boot, looks like they’ll withstand some tough stomping!

I was looking for a combat style boot, but something a little toned down for a 50something! This is it! Priced right, leather construction, comfy. I think I’ll get a lot of wear out of these with leggings, dresses, and jeans. Wearing them to work today with jeans, concert tee and cardi. I work in a casual office but want to look stylish. Thanks Zappos!

Although the description clearly says they are leather, the sand colored boots are not leather. I am disappointed that Zappos has this item listed incorrectly. The lacing also pulled oddly to the side when I walked in them.

These boots are great-looking. They are easy to get on because they have a zipper on the side.

I'm usually a 9 but I went with a 9.5 in these. I'm obsessed with them. Bought them for a weekend in Austin but have been wearing them everywhere. They are so comfortable and I hate taking them off because they're so badass. I was worried the take off/ put on process would be annoying because I've had other boots where that can be a whole ordeal but these are so easy and I get so many compliments. Walked in them for like 5 hours the first time I put them on and was so happy to not be in pain like the group I was with!

I wear a 7 1/2 or 8 wide. The size 8 boot I purchased had a LOT of available room in the toe lengthwise, even with thick socks on my feet. At least one reviewer said they were wide enough for her wide feet. For me, the boots were too tight -- I could imagine getting blisters very quickly, so I'm going to return them. Lastly, the boot uppers are very stiff. You can usually break in leather, but not synthetic materials. The product description says leather but the imprint on the boot says synthetic. Because of the low price, I think they are synthetic. I expected better from a Steve Madden product.

I love that these boots have a zipper so you don't have to mess with the laces too much and they are so easy to put on. I bought my normal size 9 and they fit great. These boots are really cute.

I wear a 10.5 W. My daughter wears a 9-9.5 mostly. I ordered these shoes for her in a 10 and here’s what we found: My (10.5) feet fit, but the shoes were a bit too snug on me in width and my toes were right to the edge. These are a true medium width. Had these been for me I would have sent them back, not trusting they’d stretch out enough. They were a tad long for my daughter’s (9.5) feet but not too much to be clumsy. Room for thick socks this winter. The width was fine for her. The quality is great - sturdy, flexible leather (that smells great!), not heavy at all, great lace-up with zipper back. These shoes will serve her well for years which is good because she wants to wear them with everything (and they’re cute with everything from shorts to leggings to jeans & skirts!) Great purchase. Good value.

These are fabulous boots! I wish they came in other colors.

Absolutely great. Very trendy w/o being over the top. Looks like a much higher priced style.

Good Boot. They are more narrow than my Dr Martens, But are not as heavy. Comfortable. Felt true to size. They did squeak ( I don't mean on the floor) I mean the boot/leather itself... wore off after a few wears. Also. They aren't "man" looking like some boots of this type. My feet looked smaller than the 9 I wear.

For the price, this is a good boot. The leather is soft, the sole is cushiony, and the string is plenty long. There is no arch support in the shoe and if you have wide calves, you are out of luck. My search will continue, thank goodness zappos has a great return policy.

These ended up being my go-to boots for walks around town. As a primarily black-shoe wearer, it was a big leap of faith for me to buy the light-colored boot, but to be honest, they go with everything and they have a different vibe than black combat boots. More feminine, more fun and can be dressed up a bit more. Although I walk a lot in them, if you're not used to walking long distances in boots, the lug soles might feel a bit clunky for you at first, but don't let that stop you from buying them. Rock that vibe!

I love that these boots have a side zipper so you don't have to loosen the laces to take them on/off. I am a size 9 and that is the size I bought and they fit great, I do wear a winter wool sock with them. I get a lot of compliments on them.

Great fit. Great Look.
