I love these work shoes.
I need a wider fitting shoe between 9.5 and 10. Ordering shoes on line will certainly eliminate the option of trying both sizes on to ensure you purchase the correct fitting shoe, so I chose the larger size as I do not like a tighter fitting shoe and won't tolerate them for a long period of time. These Rockports were really nice looking and made well. Wearing them on the first day, I was disappointed in myself for ordering the larger size and knew I had to do something to fix the problem. So, I ordered the Sof Sole Men's Lightweight Insole to insert and hopefully have my shoes fitting well.Wow! The inserts made the shoes fit absolutely perfect! And on top of that, wearing these shoes feels amazing. From the softness of the inserts to the perfect fit and the way the shoe holds my foot. The soles are quality and walk softly. I have to say these are probably the best work shoes I've ever had.So, make your decision on the size and if they feel like they are a half size too big, order the Sof Sole insoles and you should be extremely satisfied.Thanks Amazon.

Obvious quality and amazing traction!!
I'm a cook who works on a concrete floor for about 10ish hours a day. I've been wearing these shoes for about a month now and LOVE them!! They are definitely heavy but that's probably because the rubber sole is so thick and the leather is also thick and durable. I've bought cheaper shoes in the past and they're usually comfortable at first, until the sole totally wears out and the leather starts separating at the seams. I can tell these will last a long time, totally worth the price!Note: I have been wearing them with gel insoles which really makes the shoes hug my feet and I totally recommend it. But I did wear them for a week with no insole and didn't have any issues. Anyway, great shoes!

not a good work shoe
The shoes were super comfortable at first. However, I am on my feet all day at work walking on cement. After about 2 months I needed to put insoles in them; the cushioning wore away. These shoes will be great if you do not need to wear them every day.

comfortable shoe in my opinion
Not a cushy, comfortable shoe in my opinion. A bit stiff and tough to break in. Quality appears good though.

Not worth the buy
The shoe unfortunately was very uncomfortable and very hard on my feet. I had to buy another brand/pair within a month of purchasing these.

Only needed for ESD protection,but...
I was hesitant because I haven't worn steel or composite toes in years. First day, right shoe (toe) was bothering me a bit, but by 2nd day the shoe had conformed nicely and I didn't even notice. I ordered 3 different shoe brands, each in 11 1/2 & 12 through Amazon Wardrobe. I'm really glad I did because because the other brands were horrible. and the 11 1/2 in these was bit too tight everywhere. And, like I said, by the second day they were completely broken in and I've been wearing them full-time, quite comfortably, ever since. Hopefully these will last long because I really do like them.
