Rockport Men's World Tour Classic Walking Shoe

I purchased these shoes for my boyfriend’s birthday. He has other colors of this same brand and style of shoe. He loves the way the sole cushions his feet while offering a lightweight and comfortable feel in wearing them for long periods of time. An older pair quickly became his favorite “garden shoe.” This color looks slimming on his foot due to the variation of a dark color on the top and an off white on the sides of the shoe. Although not waterproof, the material feels soft like suede, but wears like leather. These shoes are a great quality and value for your money!

Probably the most comfortable shoes I've worn - EVER. This is my 2nd pair after the first ones wore out. They wore like iron and I think I had them for at least 20 years. The uppers looked great even as I was putting them in the trash.

I have purchased these same shoes twice over the the past several years, and I enjoy their comfort, consistency of sizing, and durability. As I wear a narrow, finding shoes to fit me well is sometimes challenging. This is one reason I like Rockports - they offer many of their shoes in narrow widths. I prefer the fit and appearance of Dunhams over these Rockports, but they don't exactly compete in the same market segment. I wear both pairs of shoes in a business casual work environment. I additionally wear these Rockports for occasional weekend functions. The Rockports are definitely more casual but make an excellent pair of shoes to rotate with my Dunhams for work. Even new out of the box they are very comfortable. I bought the brown tumbled shoes, and when they get dull or scuffed they can easily be polished to restore their appearance. You can't do that with Nubuck. Their styling may appeal to the older generation (I'm getting there!), but anyone can appreciate their comfort. They are the next best thing to sneakers. Be aware that the brown tumbled shoes have a pebbled exterior texture appearance, inherent in the grain of the leather uppers. Can't go wrong with these shoes.***Update after four days of use***I've noticed that the shoes offer virtually no support for over-pronated ankles. They are not orthotic shoes, and they even tend to exaggerate the pronation, which could possibly lead to strain of the posterior tibialis tendon. My job is primarily sedentary, so I may not experience problems, but be aware of this if you have over-pronated ankles and are considering purchasing these shoes. I may have to use orthotic inserts to correct the deviation. Some shoes are better than others, and unfortunately, these shoes have very little support in this area. I am dropping my rating by one star because of this lack of support, but if you have good straight ankles then this shouldn't affect you at all.

I'm on my feet a lot and these are the first shoes in a looong time that felt great right out of the box. The look is a bit old man-ish, but I'm 64 so that's ok. Nice that they come in wide sizes. I wear 13W and I could not have hoped for a better fit. I may buy another pair in a different color.

i swap in a gel or memory foam insole. the leather is great on these. not so much arch support that it hurts. i had my first pair for 17 years. all leather upper on these. the foam will conform to your feet. swap insole when needed as the shoe outer lasts years and buy two pairs so they can properly dry. don't wear the same pair of shoes every day. MN winter tested, good for any snow below the ankle or water puddle below the tongue.

2nd UPDATE: I went home (upstate NY) for the holidays and in my spare time went to a local, well-regarded shoe shop that I know in the past carried this model Rockport. After getting sized by a retail associate, they brought me a pair of 12 W of this model and it fit just like it used to. I checked the label under the tongue and was unsurprised to find that the country of manufacture was Vietnam. I bought them immediately, and would have bought two more pairs if they had any left. The price was also slightly cheaper, although after the headache of guessing sizes and returning poorly fitting shoes, I'd have gladly paid more.So, it seems that Rockport has either moved manufacture of the shoes from Vietnam to India, or that they have manufacturers in several countries at once fulfilling orders. Regardless of where they are made, the current lot coming out of India seems to be suffering greatly in sizing, quality and consistency. I'm going to submit this entire saga to Rockport in hopes that something might change in the future, but I'm not holding my breath. In the short term, I plan to scrounge through any area brick and mortar stores carrying this model in hopes they have some Vietnam-built in my size in back storage.UPDATE: I returned the last pair and ordered size 12, 3E (which I wasn't even aware was a size, but there were no 4E available in size 12). Tried them on, still very tight. When I compared them sole to sole with my 10 month old pair of size 12, 2E of same model... the older shoes are wider! Not sure where to go from here, but I'm probably never going to buy Rockports online again if there's going to be a complete lack of consistency on the part of the manufacturer.ORIGINAL: I've resigned myself to being happy with any pair of daily wear shoes that lasts longer than six months before they wear out. I'm a big guy so if the soles don't run smooth, then the inside back of the heel usually starts to fray/come apart. These shoes are better than most in that regard.However, the quality of these products has declined over the years. The last two pairs I've owned have been vastly improved by third-party insoles. Also, the shoelaces tend to break/fray easily, and Rockport-brand replacements in the right color are tough to come by.This time around, I ordered the same size (12, 2E) of this pair of shoes I ordered 10 months ago. The shoes' fit is much tighter, in particular around the big toe MTP. I don't suffer from bunions or bursitis, but I get the feeling these shoes might aggravate those conditions if you have them (or perhaps induce them...?). In addition, the shoelaces are shorter than I remember them being (although they do appear to be the same cheap quality that I mentioned above).I'm not sure where to go from here, since I'm pretty sure I can't return these since I wore them outside for a few days in hopes that there might be a "fitting in" period and they material would relax (but that doesn't seem to be the case.) The only difference I can see between the old pair and this new pair is the place of manufacture. The old pair was made in Vietnam and the new pair in India. While I'd love to buy American-made, I'm simply looking for a quality product that doesn't wear out quickly. And if it does wear out in 6 months, doesn't cost an arm and a leg (e.g. my last few pairs of NB).Next time, I'll try ordering a half-size up or perhaps even 4E width. Then again, I might just have too look for yet another brand that hasn't been suffering from these quality/consistency issues. I think I'll have my work cut out for me.

Comfortable.
