"It's better to look good than to feel good".
Shoe is constructed like an
athletic shoe with lots of adhesive and heat sealing to reduce cost. The saying "Its better to look good, than to feel good" really applies to this
Rockport. Toe box tapers sharply, not enough room to be really comfortable in. The padded collar is soft, but after a while, begins to rub and give me hot spots. This
Rockport is good to rotate with more expensive shoes during the week, or to travel in so your not concerned about excessive wear on your good shoes. Based on the construction methods, service life if questionable. Recommend a more robustly constructed shoe like a
Timberland or a pair of Borns'.
