I just purchased a new pair to replace the ones I had been wearing for more than four years that wore down. They are the almost the only shoes I wear from early spring to late fall and even on warmer days in the winter. (My view is that if I don't need gloves, I don't need socks and closed shoes.) I wear them at the gym while working out. (Last year I was in a hospital cardiac rehab program and the nurse practitioners and other staff approved of my wearing them on the equipment.)
I recycle as much as possible. When I got the second pair today I was very impressed by the way Rockport made the box they came in very easy to recycle. There is no tape and nothing held together by adhesive. Instead the box is fastened with ingenious cardboard interlocks that just slide open to allow the box to be flattened.

I had a pair identical to these that I bought from a guy selling shoes off the back of a motorbike in the Dominican Republic a couple of years ago. They were (and still are) very, very comfortable but the glue that holds the straps to the footbed soon started to come adrift and I glued them myself a couple of times. However when I was in South America I was able to get a shoe repair guy to stitch through all the strap attachment points and secure them much better.I just bought a replacement pair and intend to get them stitched BEFORE they start to go bad. The fact is that the glue will not stand up in a hot climate, and who wants to wear them in a cold climate?I was also walking one day and one of the rubber undersoles started flapping lose. To fix that it is best to use contact cement and clamp them tightly overnight.If you have big feet, these are excellent, because the straps can be adjusted each time you put them on, if necessary.So, yeah, these shoes could be great. It is not like the competition at the price point is all that either. But with a few fixes, they can be pretty darn useful. So I recommend the following tweaks.1. Get the uppers sewn through onto the footbed next time you are in some place where it will not cost an arm and a leg.2. Restick the rubbber soles or replace and stick with contact cement if they come lose.3. Get the velcro replaced if you need to, or do it yourself.4. I also made a pair of insoles from a cheap yoga mat and glued them in place with contact cement for extra comfort.Would I buy them again? I just did, in the absence of anything better.
