Stylish, Comfortable Shoes
Shoes were in perfect condition right out of the box. Contemporary styling with fine leather finish. Shoes were a bit stiff upon first wearing but softened considerably after wearing them for an hour. And after wearing them regularly for a week they molded very well to my feet. Nice tread on the soles, true to size, removable inserts and made in India. These shoes continue the Rockport standards for fit, quality and affordability. Highly recommend!

These shoes are heaven sent!!
Believe the reviews you read. These shoes are absolutely fabulous. They are incredibly comfortable and light. And, as my wife can attest, my feet don't seem to smell as bad after a whole day wearing them at work. As soon as I put them on I said, "Oh. Oh wow. These are nice." Initially I was unsure if I should get a 9 or 9.5. I usually wear a 9.5 in athletic shoes and 9 in dress shoes. I went with the 9.5 and I am glad I did. They fit and feel more like my athletic shoes.One of the first things I noticed after walking in them for a few minutes was how light they felt. So I went to my office at home and put them on the scale. My old shoes measured at 397 grams each. The new Rockports came in at a svelte 270 grams each. After walking in them the last few days, I can can attest that the reduced weight is noticeable.I can't speak to how they hold up after a long period of time, but I will try to give an update six months to a year from now. However, if you are in the market for a classically stylish and comfortable dress shoe to wear to work everyday, you should definitely consider purchasing this shoe. Very happy with my purchase.Update (May 29, 2019): It has been more than two years since I purchased these shoes and they are holding up very well. They have a few scuffs in the toe area but that's to be expected after near daily use for 2+ years. I will definitely buy these shoes again.

Stylish, good fit, aching feet
I’ve had a brown pair as well that I bought six months before this that have held up well, so I got them in black too because I like the quality and how they look. If you’re someone who only wears dress shoes on special occasions these are perfect. But if you’re wearing them multiple times per week for work, which I recently started doing, I would look for something more comfortable. They’re starting to hurt my feet which is why I only gave four stars.

Comfortable oxfords to beat up
I love these shoes as they are exceptionally lightweight and comfortable. I much prefer them to my traditional oxfords for work. The toe box in this style is a bit wider than typical oxfords which I prefer. I wear these for work 4 days a week and have to walk a lot.This is my second pair. My first pair lasted about 4 years before the soles really got worn out and the leather stain got really washed away. The soles have a definite tradeoff for such light shoes. They're made of some type of foam and wear out quickly compared to a typical sole. They can also get very slippery in the rain especially as the tread starts to wear.Would recommend if you need a comfy shoe you can beat up at work and replace in a few years. Value wise it is just okay not not unreasonable. Would not recommend for something very classy or if you prefer to keep a shoe for 5+ years or like to resole your shoes.

Comfortable, looking decent, not breaking the bank!
I love these shoes. As a big guy, I need shoes that are comfortable over long periods of time, and which look professional. These shoes hit all the marks, and this is my second set over the last 5 years.They are comfortable without needing a long break-in period. They seem to fit true to size.

Very comfortable shoe for this heavy person
I bought these for work. I previously wore only Red Wing oxfords because they were extra wide and comfortable. They are pricey but it was worth it until my last pair which made farting noises when I walked on carpet at my office. Embarrassing! Anyway not knocking that brand but they no longer carry those type of shoes I wore in my size (10.5 true EEE) anymore. As far as the Rockport's go--wow they were just the right size for me. I mean most shoes I buy are too tight. I have tall arches as well so I was pleasantly surprised when these came even spacier than I expected. This allows for me to wear odor eaters and added sole support and still fit the shoes comfortably. I am 5'10" 280 LBs. Another positive is that these do not make my feet look fat/extra-large. They are sleek and very light weight. No blisters or discomfort after two weeks of usage.
