The shoe does not fit as well as I had hoped. While the 4E front of the shoe fits well, there appears to be too much room in the heel area and I have a sloppiness with the shoe going up and down at the heel. Tightening the laces helps; however, you tend to cut off the circulation to your foot. The shoes are not manufactured in the United States and you wonder where they get their statistics for proportioning the shoe. The shoe is also very plain in styling. Had there been something more in line with a traditional oxford, I would have chosen it over this style.

Not up to Rockport standards - I have been sold on the Rockport brand for years, but this pair is kinda cheap looking. I dress in black shoes every day for work, so a dressy look is important for me, these are a bit more casual; they are branded as a waterproof shoe, I was not aware of this when I ordered them. They will be good on the rainy days!

Nice shoes for walking - After trying several other brands (Johnson and Murphy being the priciest), I returned to Rockports. I am a big guy and have had issues with comfortable shoes. These shoes have style and comfort. I wore them around the house for a total of 4 hours before wearing them for a seminar. Excellent comfort and great looks! I have high insteps and high arches and these are very comfortable. I admit I have not tried them with my orthotics, but I can say I am well pleased with these and will look to Rockports in the future.

Excellent shoe. Took a few wears to break-in, but now they fit like a glove. The smooth waterproof leather polishes to a bright shine. I love rubber-soled shoes and would buy these any day over more expensive leather-soled shoes.

Great Shoe! I really love these shoes. This is my second pair (I had my last pair for almost three years and wore them a lot!). They can be worn with anything from jeans to my tuxedo, and are very comfortable and durable.

Wonderful shoes - Always a pleasure to wear Rockport shoes. These are shoes that you can order online and they always fit. Put them on right out of the box with no problems at all!

Sound like hollow heels. I walk on concrete and pavement, I'm a car salesman. I have to wear orthotics in my shoe and wear a narrow size. For a while I've been wearing a Red Wing walking shoe for comfort. But they never did take on a really dressy appearance. So I'm experimenting with different shoes now for comfort, appearance, and for durability. When I walk I can hear the heels, it sounds like they are hollow. It really takes away from the shoe. I think in the future I'll look for a rubber bottom. Any suggestions??????

Different fit - Great, good-looking shoe, but felt a little wider than marked across the ball of my foot -- heel felt just right.

Rockport Ellingwood - Narrow Width - I wear an 11B and normally have trouble finding shoes that don't feel too wide. But these actually felt narrower than B and too tight when I first tried them on. And, possibly because of the cap toe, they don't flex very well and require some break in. I'm just starting to get them broken in, so don't know how the long term comfort or wear are going to be yet. This is the last of several different Rockport models I tried - had to send all but these back because of sizing that was way off from how they were marked and described. Very disappointed in Rockport quality control these days.

Review of the Ellingwood - Took a day or two, because of my feet, not the shoes, but they are very comfortable. They look great. And they cover up my feet. And, I like the way Zappos does business.

Another Purchase - I buy all my shoes from Zappos. This is just one more purchase. When my shoes arrive, I know the Rockports will fit just right. I wear orthotics in my shoes and these have served me well for over 25 years of buying Rockport shoes. Buying from Zappos makes it very easy. The service is great.

Happy to see a narrow width! My husband stands on his feet at work all day - he can wear a med. width in a smaller size, but it's never as comfortable for him as narrow. Bought the oxblood color which goes with just about everything. Shoes a bit stiff out of the box, DID take awhile to break in, but are fine now.

Great Shoe - I frequently buy Rockport because I have wide feet and Rockport EE shoes are sized just perfect. More importantly - they are always consistent in their sizes. I have bought many pairs of Rockports - all EE and all have fit the same. Although the insole is good in the Rockport, I have orthodics, so their insole is removable which is nice. I have bought other shoes where it is glued in which is not good when you need to use orthodics. I have found Rockports to look good and last long. These shoes certainly look good and I'm confident they will last a long time.

I got this boot in the suede and it is very cute. It is the only boot I could find that fit my calves comfortably with a heel. I own several pairs of Bandolino pumps and they have the best heel height for being on my feet at work all day. My only grief is that the brand isn't the best quality (I don't expect them to last more than a year with weekly use). I think they're pretty true to size. I wear an 8.5 and that's what I ordered - roomy, but not too big.

Wide feet - These shoes were quite satisfactory. My husband has difficulty finding shoes because of his wide foot. Zappos was the only place I was able to find an extra wide shoe. They fit perfectly and he reports they are comfortable.

Great shoes, even look good dirty (probably even better dirty). Not good for long walks, however.

Outstanding Customer Service... As Always! I am very pleased with the shoe(s), but what I want to emphasize is the Zappos customer service. I have been a customer for many years, and have always been happy. This time, through MY own fault, I ordered too late to receive the shoes before leaving town. The service rep, without hesitation, offered to upgrade me to next day delivery--the shoes, she said, would leave the next day and arrive a day after. BUT THE SHOES THEMSELVES ACTUALLY ARRIVED THE NEXT DAY! Kudos to Zappos!!

This is one of the great shoes I own. It fits right out of the box but its edge hurt my ankle the first time I wear it and I ran to CVS in the middle of my walk to get bandages. Otherwise its comfortable and looks great.

Roomy Shoe - I am not the best one to review shoes. Being handicapped my feet are not in good shape. I found the inner sole that came with this shoe to be painful, so I took it out and put in a pillow sole and leather innersole. Now the shoe is very comfortable and room enough to add padded inner soles. This is my second pair.
