I saw these shoes on an Amazon promotion at a very good price. I was reluctant to order shoes over the internet because I could not try them on, but I know the brand well and ordered a size that fits me well from past experience with Rockport shoes. When I received the shoes, they were much more narrow in the toe than I expected, causing substantial pinching--a setup for foot problems if I used the shoes. Amazon does not classify this problem as a "defect," so I am expected to pay return postage, and also the "free shipping" I originally received will be collected--plus the nuisance of repacking and shipping. Overall a very bad experience. I will never again buy shoes I can not try on before buying because sizing is not reliable. In addition, these shoes do not appear to be up to the quality of Rockport shoes I have purchased in the past from shoe stores. I can't help wonder if the promotion was not a way to dump shoes that were not designed properly in the first place.

sizing runs a little big. about a 1/2 to a size larger than i expected. the shoes seem to be pretty well made and it is comfortable. overall i think it is a pretty good pair of shoes.

I thought I was getting a bargain - Rockports at a discount! When they arrived, the craftsmanship and finish impressed me. Stitching looked even and the shine was appropriate for dress wear. They are comfortable enough (maybe a little snug), but I though it was odd that they creased across (rather than to the rear of) the cap. Within a few days, however, the skin-like coating (perhaps the waterproof layer?) of the uppers separated from the underlying leather, creating blisters in the creases. Within a few weeks, those blisters tore, exposing the leather underneath. I'm not sure where this will end, but at less than 2 months old, they will soon look too bad for dress wear. And, I suspect that the waterproofing has now been compromised. I'm glad I didn't pay full price!

It only took 1-2 days for me to break in, and after that, it is very comfortable, just like any other Rockport shoes. I do use shoe tree every day to keep it dry, and have no complaint like other user did about its being wet.

The shoes I was sent are not a dull finish as illustrated, but a shiny leather. The leather tops are very thin, but seems ok. I also did not find the shoe size large, it fit my regular size very snugly. It did take a couple of days to break-in. I was surprised at how light weight it is. Only time will tell how it holds up, more a dress than a work shoe.

The shoes did not fit and i was unable to exchange for a larger size. Does it make sense to be in the clothing business and not be able to exchange for another size.I would never order another clothing item thru you folks as a result

I was impressed with the shoes when they arrived and became even more impressed once I wore them for a day. One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever had.

The shoes seem to be bigger than others I have of the same size. The shoes pinch my right foot and are not as comfortable as I have previously experienced with Rockport.

I have many Rockport shoes and these are junk. They look cheap and I could not even get my foot into them as the instep is so low.

I purchased these shoes because of the "Rockport Brand Name". However, the shoes do not live up to the brand reputation for comfort. Got blisters on my toes the first 2 weeks. After giving them a chance to break-in, I realized they would not get any more comfortable. I dropped them off at a local neighborhood homeless shelter. An expensive gift!
