These shoes were okay when first purchased, had adequate
arch support and width. The quality of materials has been disappointing and the soles have developed a strange internal “snapping” noise when pushing off the toe. After taking out the
insoles to look for uneven insertion or other issues that might cause this noise, none are apparent, but the
insole has begun to split and separate at the glued sections, in only 2 months of wear, ~3 days/week. The laces constantly come untied, probably due to their material (a smooth nylon), and the soles feel somewhat hot when walking - they do not absorb shock as well as other solid rubber soles I have purchased. The uppers are satisfactory quality, though stitching to the sole is of middling quality.
Arch support is moderate. I would recommend
Keen casual footwear highly over these Rockports.
