I've bought the same shoe for several years now. 10.5 wide World Tour Classic. This one feels a bit different. The upper portion of the shoe is not that soft as a leather upper should be. Feels more like a vinyl. Am wondering if the manufacturing method has changed. The right shoe also feels a fit tight. I may try a leather softener on them and see what happens. Hope I don't have to send them back. That will make me very say if I can no longer rely on this model and/ or brand.

I ordered these because I liked the style and color. I have very wide feet and usually I'm okay with EW or 4E. So I ordered the Men's 91/2 XW(4E). When they arrived, I was very disappointed with how narrow they actually were and surprised that they were also short in the length. This style is cut very small and not true to size in width or length.

New Balance and Skechers.

in the past have bought the size10 wide....but always seemed to stretch out to be a bit big, So this time I got the 10 Med. and they seem TIGHT...... Maybe my fault , but I will try a break-in period and see if they stretch out. I hope so....they have always been super comfortable.

Ive been wearing Rockports for years and have always been happy. Normally they're comfortable and help with my back pain but the new pair I ordered online hurt my feet and the tongue digs into the front of my ankle. I hope this is notthe new normal for Rockport

I am usually very pleased with all shoes that I have selected from Zappo's in the past which have been quite a few however this shoe for some reason just did not fit well for me. I love the look and the shoes sole for good traction at work but I returned the same shoe the first time because even though I wear a 3 or 4E width it just cramped my right foot terribly and rubbed the small toe to a blister. Thinking that is was made wrong I exchanged it for another pair, same type. After one day with the exchange pair I could tell that the same problem was going to occur because I had the same pain developing at the end of the work day. I am returning this pair as well and will select another Zappo shoe. Extremely pleased with Zappo helping me with these exchanges.

I have worn a series of Rockport World Tour Classic shoes over the past 30+ years. They are one of my favorites for dress wear and anytime I feel the need for a slight upgrade in footwear. I have maintained a size 9-2E or 4E for many years. Using experience from my last purchase of these shoes (in brown tumbled leather, size 9-2E), I changed to a 4E width for more comfort. The new shoes, in grey nubuck, although labeled 4E, are quite snug. They fit, and I'll keep them, but the fit is close to the foot all the way around. I'll probably take them to my local shoe repair place and have them professionally stretched to gain some space. I should note that I use custom-made orthotics in both shoes. In fact, it was my orthotist who first recommended this shoe model as one with sufficient interior space to accommodate the orthotics. I recognize that the thickness of the orthotics may be taking up some of the space provided by the 4E width. However, previous pairs of these (I currently have both black 9-4E and brown 9-2E pairs) were able to fit the orthotics and still have comfortable room left in them. I'm left wondering whether Rockport has changed their production last, or if this shoe is perhaps made in a different factory.

Length was fine, width narrower than marked. A wide would've been too wide.

Fit and size are OK so was the width. I prefer the Vibram soles of the older Rockports because the Vibram soles have more cushion than the newer models without them. Overall the shoe is OK.

Clarks or Olukai.

I had to go up 1/2 size larger for lenght and width was fine. I prefer the old Vibram style sole to new type sole as the Vibram sole had more cushion than the new style sole.

Third pair of World Tour over some time. This third pair has gotten narrower or my feet have suddenly gotten wider. Noticed this immediately once taking them out of the box after purchasing. Same size as my previous purchases.

I have had several pairs of these shoes in the past. I bought a replacement pair of the same size (8.5) and it was far too small and tight. Manufactured in China. I returned it and ordered the size 9. These arrived today and fit fine. (Manufactured in Vietnam).

I bought two pairs of the Rockport World Tour Men's Classic - 1 brown and 1 black. I have previously had this same type shoe - and have loved them - but they have always been made in Vietnam. This time around I noticed one pair again fit very well however the other did not. The one that fits well is again made in Vietnam, the other pair that does not fit well is made in India. I have read reviews at other sites saying the exact same thing. So, suggest you fix the India supplier (or just go with Vietnam)!

I wore out my last pair ... they were roomy and plush. This pair is difficult to even get on and very snug (especially across the arch). The sole padding is a joke but there is no extra room to add a more luxurious foot pad. Perhaps I should have ordered a size up?

My husband has a pair of these Rockports that has worn well and felt good for years. Ordered this new pair, same size as he always wears, 10M, and the sizing on the new ones is just a bit too small. Sadly returning. We do like Zappos but in this case we'll just go to Macy's for a new pair as the shopping and trying on and returning is easier.

I have been a loyal Rockport fan for 40 years, because of their quality, fit, and availability in a men's size 7.5 Wide. I received my World Tour Men's Classics a few days ago, and noticed these things: The quality of the materials and workmanship appear very good, and they are a very stylish shoe. The laces are very thick, making it difficult to loosen and tighten, so I replaced them with thinner laces. The fit is odd, being quite long, but about right in width, as though they were a size or two larger, but in a medium width. The insteps are low, so they fit tight across the top of my foot. I do not feel much arch support, so I may need to replace the insoles with after-market insoles, which is something I have never had to do with Rockports. And the collar of the shoes rubs against the inside of my ankles, which is not very comfortable. Regardless of the problems, I am going to keep them for the looks and quality, and because I do not plan to be walking a lot in them. My biggest disappointment is that I can no longer depend on the sizing and fit that I have relied on for so many years.

These shoes do not have a lot of padding at the ankles and rubbed below my ankle bone on my left side. Otherwise the fit was good both length and width
