I have been buying a pair of white Rockport Prowalkers for ten or twelve years and have remained loyal to the brand because of the excellent wear they gave me and their superb comfort. Something has changed recently in this series of shoes. The leather is much stiffer and the shoes are just not as comfortable. They still give good arch support and the assembly quality seems okay, but only time will tell how they hold up to daily use. I hope Rockport returns to their high standards of manufacturing in the future. I'll probably look for something else when it's time to replace these. The color white is more like an ivory color now. Before they were pure white.

The service for this was fine. No complaints. However, the shoe itself is another thing. First, I chose white. When it arrived, it was an off-white. My husband was willing to live with that. But then, after wearing the shoes a couple of times, he said they were extremely uncomfortable. We have purchased Rockport ProWalkers in the past & loved them. This was quite a disappointment.

I tried surfing for the best price at shoe stores, but Amazon found me the best price at Bealls, in Florida. I walk on hospital cement floors all day. Rockports are more comfortable all day for me than other brand names I have tried. Thanks Amazon.com!

About 10 years ago my feet started to complain due to irritated nerves (people with diabetes understand); orthotics helped; sneakers helped too but I needed dressier shoes too. These shoes, in black, did the trick. I've tried many others, with some success, but these shoes win the prize. I buy 3 pairs at a time and rotate them - the older pairs for casual/rough wear and the newest pair goes into the courtroom (lawyers are people too, mostly). If I ever hear they are being discontinued, I may rent storage space so I can buy out the stock in my size. I own 1 pair of dressy shoes that I can wear 2 or 3 hours; but for 15 hour days, there is no substitute. Like white shirts, these shoes simplify shopping and wardrobe selection.

This is by far the most comfortable shoe..

It is a outstanding walking shoe

does not need to be broken in...ready to walk or just wear

If you have worn Rockport Prowalker in the past please note that the design of this shoe has changed over the past 1-2 years. I recently ordered a pair and the padding is much reduced, the leather is not as soft. The shoes may be OK and well made but they are not the style you may be used to if you have worn this stlye in the past.

I have been wearing Rockport shoes for years and have always loved them. I bought a 10M, like all of my other Rockport shoes. As soon as I put on the shoes, my feet both ached in the balls of my feet. I thought they needed to be broken in, but after wearing them two days, no change. They are marked M, but are actually narrow. I intend to return them!

I have been wearing the Rockport ProWalkers for many years. I wear them at work and wear out a pair every 9-12 months. They "ugly out" before they actually wear out. I have always had black and I polish them once a month or so. They are the only shoe that lasts through a Disney World vacation. I am not limping at the end of the day. When they are 4 to 6 months old I usually place a foam pad into them to renew the soft feeling.

I have been wearing this model of Rockports (7100) for over 15 years. A store near me told me that they were actually discontinued at one point by Rockport. There was so much demand for these that they were brought back. For me, I like the fit and feel of these shoes.

I too have been wearing the Rockport Prowalker for years. However, this model is now a most unconfortable shoe. I don't even think they had the width right. I also noticed that the name Rockport is no longer labeled on the back of the shoe. I would stay away from this shoe. I tried one of the more expensive shoes and they are better.
