Great Utilitarian Shoe - not bad looking either! I bought a pair of these shoes about a year ago and loved them, but they were discontinued by the time I got to buy another pair. Zappos still had them, and in the "W" width I needed, so I bought 2 additional pair. They are not a light shoe, but the sole is great for walking around on concrete floors all day and my back is all the better for it. The only downside is that the inside back of the shoe tends to wear through pretty quickly.

This Rockport shoe is a very good shoe. I stand on a concrete floor all day and this shoe provides a level of comfort that Rockport does not offer in a lot of their shoes any more. As good as the old pro walker 2000 w/ the vibram sole they no longer make.

Casual Shoes - Very comfortable shoes. I tried three other pair before settling on these as these fit the best and were the most comfortable (I have wide feet so I am a tough fit). My only ding is that the style is a bit plain - not unattractive - just not as much “now” as I was hoping for - but fit wins out.

Rockport 9N - My foot is hard to fit heal a bit narrower than front of foot. The Rockport size 9N are one of the very few shoes at any price that fit.

I had a pair of these a few years ago and replaced them with another brand when they wore out. So glad to get them back again. Very comfortable.

Much needed good support - I have been seeking a shoe that would offer good arch support. As a grad student, I walk a great deal during the day, and always carry a bit more weight than necessary. Just got these shoes yesterday, and the first thing I notice is the firm support at the front of my feet.

Cement shoes - These felt dead wrong the moment I tried them on. They are very heavy and structured and I found them extremely uncomfortable. They do look decent though.

These shoes do look a little "clunky" but the fit and comfort make you quickly forget that. Very true to width, which is my most important consideration. Little to no break in time.

Comfortable dress shoes - I bought these looking for a pair of comfortable black dress shoes and because I've owned Rockports before. I generally like them, but the "feel" is rather strange. They are almost to "squishy" in the soles. I almost feel like I'm going to lose my balance. I did wear them to work (teaching) and found them to be relatively comfortable. I'm on my feet a lot on tile and concrete floors. These shoes weren't perfect, but they were better than most shoes I've worn in the same circumstances.

Great Shoe - This is a very comfortable shoe. It comes with an insert which provides a lot of cushion or can also be removed to accommodate orthotics. I highly recommend this shoe!

Really comfortable shoe - My wife did a great job of picking these shoes out for me! They are way more expensive than anything I would have bought, but they are also more comfortable than any business casual shoe I have ever worn. They look good with khakis as well as jeans. Lots of cushioning and excellent arch support.

A year Later... When I bought these shoes I absolutely loved them. To an extent I still do, but I find myself having to replace them already. The uppers and lowers are still in excellent shape, but I've worn through the cheap lining on the inside of the heel. I can't stand the feeling of my sock sliding across the hole in the lining. It’s a shame to have to get rid of these shoes already, but that liner just didn't hold up.

Extremely comfortable - I walk over 8 miles a day on concrete at my job (large factory) - I've tried a lot of shoes over the years and these are the most comfortable I've found. The DMX air cushioning works great! I'll be buying my third pair soon.

Comfortable but a little clunky. I have a hard foot to fit, fat feet. But the shoes fit just right. They are very comfortable. The only thing is the shoe is a little clunky.

Perfect shoe - I bought these shoes for my husband to travel in. They are airport security friendly but I was sure they would be difficult to get on and off in a hectic security check line. Apparently, I was wrong. My husband loves these shoes. He had no trouble in the airport security line and says these shoes are super comfortable. They look great on him and the fit is exceptional. He owns other Rockport shoes and feels the same way about all of them.

Rockport Blackville - My husband felt immediate comfort in these shoes when he first tried them on, which is very rare with his narrow feet. The narrow width for these seems true to size. We can never find narrow width shoes for him, so this was a great find. He has worn them to work for the past couple of weeks and says they are comfortable for all day wear. Thank you Zappos for offering narrow widths!

Comfortable should last a long time - The shoes were a bit stiff at first, but after 3 weeks, they are broken in and quite comfortable. I take a narrow width and other Rockports have fit fine. These were a bit loose, but double knotting keeps them firmly in place.

Rockport Blackville - A great shoe according to my husband. He has a terrible time finding shoes that fit due to his narrow feet. We ordered these in the narrow width and these were immediately comfortable for him.

I bought the tobacco color for casual wear and was impressed enough to buy the black for work. The air-cushion insole is nice and "bouncy", but the up & down motion of the foot within the shoe rubs on the back of the heel. It caused blisters for me over a 2-day period where I did a lot of walking (a Las Vegas trip), but they've been OK for everyday use. This may not be the right shoe for those who walk long distances but it's OK for around the office. I highly recommend them if you do a lot of standing. The air-cushion greatly reduces fatigue.
