Great shoes that actually fit me
I have large and wide feet, so I always have trouble finding shoes. I wore these shoes daily and they lasted about a year. Being over 200lb (even over 100kg), that was longer than I had expected. The shoes looked sharp, were extremely comfortable, and I got complements on them, and it was just the insoles that had worn out.

Great shoe
I got this and the Margin to try them out. Both this and the Margin have the Adiprene but it's not listed in both. I verified this with Rockport support department.This shoe fits great and provides good support. I used it on several days a week (alternating weekly between this and the Editorial). They are comfortable.

Great shoes for work or night out
VERY comfortable! The shoe is light so you can wear it comfortably all day. The padding inside is generous and long lasting. The sizing is accurate and accommodates a slightly wider foot. The leather on the outside looks great and the shoe as a whole is minimal in design. Only 4 stars because I think the price could be better....but I would've paid a little more.

Uncomfortable Rockports
I always thought this brand is supposed to provide comfortable products, I was wrong. These shoes left me with aching feet even after wearing them in. I felt like I was walking barefoot and the impact of my steps were unbearable. Dont get me wrong, I am not overweight, The soles on these shoes are just mediocre.The included Adiprene insoles are just thin and wafer-like. They are useless. I had to throw them away and I had to buy separate cushioning insoles (the expensive brand) just so I can wear these daily.The only consolation is the quality of the leather and the non-slip feature. Dont make the same mistake that I did.

Nice pair of office shoes
Very comfortable. Didn't need to break them in. It's a handsome pair of conservative leather Oxfords that look like they will last several years. And for the reasonable price, that's a great buy.

Super comfortable but didn't last the distance
I purchased these as an alternative to the Northfield Oxfords which were very comfortable but the rubber sole wore down too fast. The sole on these shoes, while more durable than the Northfield, split across the ball of both shoes within three months of wear. I am a copier service tech and only use these for work which involves walking in the normal business environment and kneeling etc. when servicing a machine. I only wore them every other business day to allow them to breathe and alternate with another pair of shoes which equates to around 30 days of actual use. A shame really as I found them super comfortable from the get-go. As a consequence I have now ordered a pair of Nunn Bush Baker St. Oxfords to see how they perform.Edit: After a bit of research, I have discovered that soles made of injected PU (Polyurethane) have a 'shelf life' that varies according to production methods. I suspect the shoes I purchased must have been at the end of their shelf life and that was the major contributing factor to why the soles on both shoes split after less than 3 months alternate-day wear.

Nice but the Margin is a lot better
I have had quite a few pairs of Rockports and decided to give these a try. Overall it is a nice comfortable shoe, but they are definitely not as comfortable or as well made as their Margin shoe. I purchased a brown pair and the leather didn't seem to hold up as well and looked scuffed fairly quickly. The sole has also worn much faster than what I've seen with the Margins.If you're deciding between this and the Rockport Margin, I would recommend the Margin hands down. I've owned 5 or 6 pairs of the Margins and it's definitely worth spending a few bucks extra to get them.
