Customer Reviews Rockport World Tour Classic Walking Shoe

The shoe just didn’t feel like a $100 shoe. For the same price I got Born shoes that had super soft leather and hand finishing.

Rockport material quality is not what it was several years ago. The tongue is too short. The insert quality should be better with more support.

Unfortunately I wanted to like/keep this shoe, but the part at the back - touching the ankle was killing me. The right shoe. After 2 minutes of walking in it, i had to remove them. The right shoe was killing my right ankle. Too bad.

Beautiful shoe that was a true narrow, unfortunately no support unless you have orthotics to put inside. Even with that for some reason my foot kept leaning to inside. So back they go. I expected more padding. Still if you have no foot problems

Heavy for a walking shoe.

Been wearing Rockports World Tour Classic 11.5-N for years the length and width perfect. Something has changed narrows are tight length is shorter quality not the same I had to order four pairs before I had one that would fit properly.

Very narrow toe box

I suppose the best statement to judge a pair of shoes would be "would you buy them again?" Sadly, although a really wanted to like these shoes, that answer is "No." Like the name of the shoe implies, I bought these for traveling. I wanted something that would look civilized in town, but that could handle a full day of walking in the country. And, when I travel (this last time for 4 weeks in Europe) I only take one pair of shoes. So, in a sense, these did not let me down. We usually walk 5 to 8 miles a day, through all kinds of conditions and weather, so finding a shoe that could fill all my requirements was challenging (in fact, I found very few). The surprising thing about these is that they took a very long time to breakin. Even now after owning them for 8 months (and using them for my daily walks of 5 miles) I still can't say that they are very comfortable. And the soles, for as thick as they are, still allow me to feel every sharp pebble on the path. Granted, they are affordably priced (most other shoes I have owned for this purpose being twice the price), and I'm not disappointed, just not enthusiastic. I've owned Rockport walking shoes years ago, but these were just not the same! As a side note, since I have a B/C width foot, I originally ordered the narrows... hard to send the back... they were way too narrow!

The shoe is well made, but it is heavy. There is no give. If you are in your twenties and working in a factory these may be a decent fit. The most important thing to do with any purchase from zappos is to throw out the insole. They are cheap and very uncomfortable. Buy Dr. Scholls on Amazon for $20 dollars. The added expense will accomplish two things. It will save you the trouble of sending in returns because the shoes do not feel right and it will help save your feet from pain.

So called "extra wide" shoe is way too narrow. I ordered 4E size and they felt just like the normal width shoe.

Sizing is smaller than marked. I where a 9 1/2 in Keen products and the recommended fitting came up as a 9 1/2 on this shoe. It was way too small for my foot, maybe 1/2 to a whole size smaller. I've owned Rockports in the past and recall liking them, I think I may just need to step up in size.

I purchased 3 pair of these shoes. The first 2 were made in Vietnam and fit perfectly. The 3rd pair was made in India and is 1/2 size smaller and too narrow.

The toe box on these is smaller than in the past and the leather does not seem as supple. Rockport really dropped the ball when they redesigned these. I used to be able to wear these and now I can't.

We have purchased this shoe in the past that were made in Vietnam. They were true to size. The new pair are made in India and the M (D) width felt too narrow. After reordering and XW (4E), the sole measured within 1/8 inch of the same width. There should be a difference of 11/16 inch in width. It appears that the same production line used for all widths.
