Customer Reviews Steve Madden Thunder Rain Boot

I’m taking these rain boots to a festival in the jungle. They are so edgy and very comfortable. With socks, they are going to help me dancing the night away when it rains!

Fit perfectly! A little more cushion inside would be nice, but honestly these are the best looking and least "rain boot" looking rain boot that I've ever seen! Probably just wear thick socks and these will work perfectly. Of course in true ironic fashion I haven't had a chance to wear them in the rain yet since the rain stopped the day these arrived...but so far fit-wise I am very happy with these!

I am so pleased with these boots! They are so cute with leggings & I love the clunky buckles & the little red zipper at the back. The only reason that I gave it a 4 on comfort is that they could be a little more insulated - not as warm as my Hunter’s but, good for warmer rainy days or just be sure to wear a warm sock. So cute!

These are my absolute favorites! I actually want it to rain so I can wear them out again. They squeak at first like any other rubber rain boot but it goes away after you wear them for a bit. My favorite thing about them is that they don’t look like rain boots. They look like a regular biker boot. I canceled my hunter boot order after I saw these and I’m so happy I did. I’m a 7 and 1/2 and I ordered just that and they fit PERFECT!

I'm in love with these boots! They fit well, do their job, and are super cute. They've endured and performed well through their first rainstorm. The metal parts jingle just a bit when they brush against surfaces ... I enjoy that. The insole has a nice balance of cushioning and firmness. There's no arch support, but I was able to put in the insoles from some athletic shoes, plus my 3/4 length custom orthotics atop those.

After a month of wearing soggy shoes at work through torrential rainstorms, I decided to throw down a moderate amount of money for some rain boots that were stylish (i.e. don't look like rain boots). These fit the bill perfectly. I like the biker chic look to them. They are wide and chunky and have rockin' buckle details. Upon first glance, they look nothing like rain boots. It's only upon closer examination that you can see that the boots are rubber, not leather. Something to note: I'm a solid 7.5 in most shoes of all styles. When purchasing these on Zappos, I noticed that half sizes were not available. I ended up buying these in a size 7 and they are VERY loose fitting. Not enough to send them back because I don't plan on running in the rain in these, but I could easily hop out of these at a moment's notice let alone "slip" them off. Something to keep in mind if you're in between sizes. SIZE DOWN! I am actually wondering if I could go to a size 6 in these...

These were super comfy and relatively cute, but they were quite big and clunky to wear. They remind me of dirt bike boots. Unfortunately, there were 2 issues I had with the shoes and ended up returning them: 1) They were a little too loose--I could very easily slide them on/off and 2) they squeaked very loudly on the tiles in my house--I can only imagine that it would have sounded the same in my office or outside somewhere.

I wear an 8.5 and the 8 fit well. They are cute, but i could feel my foot slipping when I walked and they made an atrocious squeaking noise when I walked on non carpeted floors. I also think they look a bit clunky. I am returning them because they aren’t exactly what I was hoping for.

Great looking boots HOWEVER after wearing them for the first time my feet are wet near the toe, which is extremely disappointing . They have padded insoles which feel good at first but after wearing them for about 3 hours you start to feel the base of the shoe. Unfortunately they become painful to wear. These boots are a dud for me but I’m going to keep them since I’ve already worn them & they were on sale. I probably won’t wear them again.

These are the sassiest rain boots ever! Replacing my traditional-style rain boot, and I will never go back to boring! Have gotten so many complements on them! I find myself wearing them if even a hint of rain is in the air ?. They are super comfy! The red zipper in the back is a great addition to these boots-a stylish and functional detail! SM put in all in when he designed these boots! Who ever thought rain boots could be so fun?!! (I’m a mom and the late teens, early 20’s love them!). Don’t hesitate to purchase them! You won’t ever look at rain boots the same way again :)

I LOVE these boots. Even better looking in person. A cut above the normal rain boot look - this has style and you can wear it with shorts or jeans year round. Slouchy socks, leggings and pegged jeans will look good with these too. They look like leather until you touch them and realize they're rubber. So easy to put on with the hot red zipper in back. I normally wear a 9 1/2 - 10 length with a medium width but after reading all the fit comments I ordered the 9. I would usually order the next size up - a 10 in my case - when there is no 1/2 size made, as is the case in most of Steve Madden brand boots, BUT, after reading all the comments that they ran large and advising to order a 1/2 size smaller that's exactly what I did and it was the right move for me. They were a little loose, so I put on a crew sport sock which not only filled the slack but also gave a nice inside cushion. If you have a slightly wider than medium foot width, you may not need the sock and they may fit you just fine in the width.

Absolutely The cutest rain boots ever!! They look like leather!! run a touch large I’m a 6 1/2 bought the 6 would have room for double socks if I need them def a great boot.. I’ll be singing in the rain

I haven’t worn them yet because it has t rained but I’m praying for the skies to open. I had to return a very normal looking pair of rain boots because they were far too tight and impossible to slide on and off. So when I found these and called Zappos for help in switching them out, the woman was so helpful and even said she thought my new choice was better! How fab is that.

These are super cute and comfortable, especially for rain boots. I hate buying rain boots because they all look alike (ugly &/or bland) and uncomfortable. My last ones were cute but after 3yrs started crumbling so it was time for new ones. These are the most edgy, cute ones I could find, and they don't look like rain boots which is what I like. They do run big; I heeded the suggestions to order 1/2 size down which is perfect. I wear a 7.5 & usually size up when only whole sizes are available, but in this case sizing down was definitely the way to go. They still have room for thick socks or double layer socks if it's cold out, and I put a gel 3/4 length arch support in , which made them even more comfortable & supportive. It also stopped the heel from slipping - which they definitely do, since they are quite roomy. The only drawback is the are HUGE in the ankle, and cut at an awkward height. They will be fine with jeans, or long leggings & legwarmers or big slouchy socks. But they did look silly when I tried them on with capris, and the top edge rubbed uncomfortably on bare skin. But I doubt I'll be wearing them with shorts or capris. I usually go with knee high rain boots, but these are by far the cutest & will look good with long leggings & pants. The sole is grippy, and will give good traction up/down slippery subway stairs. They do squeak a bit, but a lot of my boots & sneakers squeak & it doesn't bother me since I take rain boots off immediately when I go inside anyway. Overall I am happy with them,

Excellent rain boots! They fit fairly well with some room to them. My only complaints are that they could have more arch support and are super squeaky!

Definitely squeaky but I don't care. Super cute!

Very cute, wish they had half sizes, even with a thick sock a half size up was too big.

They are cute but not my style since they were a bit wide and look like I had Herman Munster shoes on. I returned them because they weren’t exactly what I wanted.
