Good Choice -
I ordered these shoes for my husband for his sixtieth birthday and he loves them. He wears them to work everyday. He always goes back to the Rockport shoes. He tried another brand but less than a year later, he needed a new pair of shoes. We will stick with Rockport.

Fits like a dream.
I'm very happy with the Rockport Blackville I gave my son for Christmas this year. I was a bit concerned that they weren't going to be wide enough for his foot, but my son told me they fit like a dream. This is a good quality shoe that can be worn with a suit, or with jeans as it's both stylish and causal. It also looks very sturdy and I'm sure it will last a long time. All in all I'm happy to give it five stars.

So Good!!
I'm a construction manager and can spend up to 12-15 hours a day on my feet on concrete. These make a massive difference in my ability to "hang in there." Keeps my lower back from screaming at me too. The leather cleans up well also, so you can spiff them up easy enough before business meetings. Rockport makes a pre-oiled sponge for cleaning that I highly recommend. Great shoe!

A MUST -
I'm on my feet too often, before the end of the day my feet were in big time pain. After trying all the top brands including Rockport, I was ready to get prescription shoes. Blackville has a very different sole, these are the only Rockport I wear now. I just wish it had a better look.

Rockport the Best -
My husband has a short wide foot and has tried many different brands of shoes. Rockport shoes have been true too size for fit and a shoe he can put on wear with comfort with good arch support and not experience tired aching legs at the end of the day. The Rockport Blackville is a great shoe.

Big feet -
I have trouble finding shoes wide and comfortable for work. I wasn't worried about arch support as I immediately took theirs out and put in my old custom inserts. They're sort of boxy but I wasn't looking to make a style statement. Overall exactly what I was looking for. A great buy and a great pair of shoes.

Rockport and the DMX feature -
Since I am on my feet most of the time throughout the day I always wanted a shoe that met the standard of Reebok DMX athletic shoes. These fit the mold. They are styled for most any event and have the comfort I was looking for. My closet will be acquiring the other colors very soon.

Rockports or Reebok -
I bought these shoes because of the DMX cushioning. I have been wearing Reebok DMX shoes and after having a hard time finding them, I thought I would try the Rockports. The Rockports are not as soft. They are OK, just may take time to get used to. They seem to be wide for the size.

I expected a little more comfort.
I bought these based on customer reviews... I'm on my feet ALL day at work. For 10 hours or more and do a lot of walking around. The first day they were ok… but after the second. They joined the ranks in my closet of shoes probably not to be worn again. I went out and spent big bucks on a pair of Nike Air. ahhhhhhhhh FINALLY.. comfort! So what I look like a track star!!! hee hee..

My new shoes -
I haven't bought new shoes in a couple of years. Matter of fact, last time was from Zappos. These new shoes are just wide enough for my wide foot. In a word: perfect!

The comfort of Rockports -
Despite having 8 or so pair of shoes that I wear, I have gravitated to these for day to day work. They are extremely comfortable and have a feeling of almost walking on air. Highly recommend.

My favorite Rockport -
I ordered several model Rockport shoes along with these, and the Blackvilles in brown leather turned out to be my absolute favorite. Right now they are my best dress shoe for work. I kept a couple other pairs of Rockports as well, but these are the definite best in comfort and fit. I have worn Rockports for a long time, but these latest ones that I have tried have a bounce to them that my previous pairs do not. Whatever the reason, these are a must have for mobile office workers who have to deal with both a professional dress code as well as a hectic day that sends them all over an office building.

Specific consideration with air cushion -
This is a great shoe and I would think would be wonderful for someone having to be on their feet all day. I had a specific issue with the air cushion. This is nothing to do with a problem with the shoe. I suffer from hallux limitus and anyone with this issue might find this helpful. The air cushion is wonderful, however during the normal portion of one's gait where the full weight is transferred to the ball of the foot the air cushion gives (as it should) and the ball of the foot moves down into the cushion. This has the unfortunate effect of requiring the big toe to flex up as the ball of the foot moves down. The result is increased pressure on the joint and (in my case) pain. If you don't suffer from this problem, you'll likely find these very nice.

I have been very pleased with Zappos in general. This shoe is the fourth pair I've purchased and it is very nice. Size and appearance were as indicated on the web-site. I will be buying more from Zappos.

Marketing marathoner -
Knee problems have plagued me for over twenty years. I've had three knee surgeries. I'm in sales and marketing, so I get around a lot. I would not be able to do my job without these shoes, the Blackville. Thanks Rockport.

These are NARROW?
Actually, yes, they are narrow - TOO narrow.
There is no doubt these shoes are sharp looking. I got the Tobacco color. Very solidly built as far as I could tell - problem is I had to take my foot out of them pretty quickly 'cause it was getting squished. Felt like they would have offered very nice cushioning. My foot is a 12 B, so I ordered the 12 B. They were too narrow. Amazing. I usually have the opposite problem finding shoes. I am guessing that Rockport is trying to take the middle of the road approach - a "narrow" a "medium" and a "wide" width shoe. If you're in between their definition of narrow and wide - too bad, I guess... I left the stars at 5 on the assumption that they would be great shoes if they fit...

Rockport's Blackville -
This is a fine shoe but it is somewhat stiffer than previous Rockport similar shoes. The tongue is thinner and the shoe is somewhat wider. Still, it is a fine, comfortable shoe and I am happy with it. It's too bad that some of the other colors are not made in size 15.

Blackville Review RP -
This is a wonderful shoe. I am on my 3rd pair. It's is the most comfortable shoe I have found for working all day on a concrete floor. Also, I wear them hiking and pretty much every where.

Like walking on sunshine! The air cushion feature transfers the pressure from front to back as you walk and stand. Great work shoe! More comfortable than New Balance.

Good shoe once it is broken in -
Good shoe, but the back rubbed on my Achilles tendon a bit until I broke it in. Had to alternate other shoes on off days. It looks more like a sneaker than it does in the photo.

Very satisfied -
My second pair of Rockports. Bought to wear as work shoes, but they are comfortable enough that I sometimes wear them with jeans on the weekends. Nothing bad to say about them - it is a solid shoe after 6 months wear. Previous reviewer noted a more 'cushioned' feel than other Rockports - true that.
