I have been looking for a dress boot that would work well with dress pants but also jeans but most importantly a shoe that can be used for a variety of occasions or even daily use (ie. the dress boots that work as a beater shoe).  I have purchased Steve Madden-related clothing before but I have never purchased their shoes.

I have to admit that I was debating because when it comes to shoes, some makers tend are either exact on size, smaller or larger and when purchasing online, you really need to read the reviews from people how sizing goes.  And noticed there were no reviews for this shoe.  Well, the good news is that if you are 10.5 and you order 10.5, it fits perfectly.

Putting this shoe on was not difficult and what amazed me was the comfort of wearing the shoes and how it fit perfectly with dress pants and jeans.

There are a few things that I do want to comment on and I hope this helps some of you out:

*  There is no zipper on this boot, but it does stretch with the elastic on the side, so you can fit your foot easily.

*  The souls are rubber, if you are looking for wood on soles, there other dress boots on Amazon that offer that.

*  The boots are not super shiny that sticks out or blind someone (I have had those type of shoes when I was younger and will never wear them again) but it does have that leather that shows off its sheen but not one that sticks out.

*  Packaging - The shoe comes in a big white Steve Madden box and there is a lot of rolled up paper to keep the shoe from moving around the box.  Also, paper inside the shoe as well.  So, no worry about shoes being banged up during shipping.

JUDGMENT CALL:

As mentioned earlier, this boot was something that I want to use more often and that means looking for a shoe that will be walking in various conditions (ie. the beater shoe).  Because its soles are rubber, it's what I wanted.  The shoe looks absolutely great for the guy who wants a shoe that looks great for business, great for going out and such.  For those wanting more of a high-end look and don't care for rubber on the soles, then I would look at other brands on Amazon.

But the shoe looks great, fits great and most of all, very comfortable.  So, no need to worry of it being too large or too small, if you are a 10 or 10.5, you are going to get that size that you expect.  No worrying at all.

Overall, I was very pleased with this boot.  I have worn it with dress pants, jeans and tested it in variety of locations to see if my foot would ache and the shoe remained comfortable throughout the day.  For under $55, the Steve Madden P-Tremon Dress Boot is highly recommended!
