Excellent shoe with excellent comfort! This shoe feels good the first time you put your feet into it. Would definitely recommend this shoe for style and comfort.

Nice shoe, better service! Took two different orders to get the shoe I wanted. The whole process took less than a week...two deliveries and one return! I placed an order at 7PM AND received the shoes at 2PM the very next day! A truly incredible company...congrats!!

Tapani Review - For last few decades, I have been an avid Rockport fan. Some of their shoes were quite good, but the quality has been deteriorating recently. Rockport's old lines' fit and finish were superior to the recent renditions. This particular "Tapani" model has shattered my biases completely. The look is quite modern and stylish. Lightweight, yet feels solid. They are comfortable as my Asics top-of-line running shoes. The inserts are not "El Cheapo" type at all. People with high insteps will appreciate its construction. I have wide feet, and most of my dress shoes look wide like nuclear powered aircraft carriers. The Tapani somehow looks deceptively "normal" as compared to other wide width shoes.

Wanted to like it, but... I have 4E feet, very spade-shaped. So, finding dress shoes is really hard. The Rockport Northfield works but isn't dressy enough for some situations. The Tapani looked promising, but didn't work out. Slightly odd fit -- it was fine in most of the toe box, but pulled in just a bit too soon and pinched my little toes a lot. The height also dropped too quickly -- fine over toes, but tight over instep. So almost worked, but I can tell that if I went up a size for width, the length would be way too long. Also, an appearance issue. The front of the shoe is fine, but the heel has an air bladder with the clear plastic sides exposed. Common for sneakers, but weird and a real turn-off in a shoe trying to be business-like.
