Customer Reviews Rockport World Tour Classic Walking Shoe

Good fit, nice shoe, but the insole is hard as a rock!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Great looking shoe. Unfortunately size was too narrow.

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

I did not care for how the shoe on the bottom felt like it had high spots in the front and back of the shoe.

Liked the look. The 16 Was too small. Neither size give me the comfort I need for the soles of my feet.

Been wearing for years. Not the same.

My husband ordered these because he had an older pair of similar Rockports that he said were super comfy. I thought they looked like "old Man shoes" but when he develped an arthritic toe I encouraged him to pull out the old pair and they were the only pair he could wear when his toe flarred up. So he bought this very similar looking pair, but he says the toe box is very low and hurts. So back they go. Too bad, he needs some comfy shoes!

The outside was nice, but the inside was rough, and the back pressed into my Achilles.

nI take 10.5 wide and right foot would not fit with 11 wide

The description states this is a 4E. My husband has worn this exact shoe for many years. For some reason, the manufacturer is now marking it as a "XW". Every site we go on, including Zappos, say this is a 4E which it is not. It is much narrower than a 4E. Otherwise, this is a great shoe. Rockport is known for quality and comfort, this is exactly that. They have a great blend of looking nice but being comfortable. Can dress up or down and look great.

These were narrower than I was expecting. My feet are about 4 1/4 inch at their widest point, and I thought that 4E shoes should fit. But they were too tight, although the length was fine. It is a shame that Zappos does not give more guidance on width of shoes. Their size chart only addresses length, which is not very helpful.

I returned these. They are very comfortable, but not at all pleasing to the eye. I don't think the photos do justice to how ugly these shoes are.

These shoes fit true to size but lack thick enough soles for comfort. My feet felt tired in these shoes after several hours of standing. Not recommended for long hours at work.

Always wanted a pair of these, looked comfortable. Was disappointed, felt clunky and insufficient in the arch support. I decided to return them.
