Customer Reviews Rockport World Tour Classic Walking Shoe

I have an earlier version of this shoe that lasted 12 years before the sole finally degraded to the point of replacement. These new shoes are simply painful. I've worn them about 5 times in the last three months thinking I could break them in but no luck. The pain these shoes cause is on the balls of my feet and is bad enough that I have to stop walking and take them off for a couple of minutes. Additionally the shoes are not even comfortable enough to just sit or drive. Strange, I would have expected any discomfort to be located in the arch or some other place. One other complaint. The color of the shoes is listed as brown but they are much lighter than the picture. Kind of a caramel color. So, lesson learned and no more Rockports from Zappos. Have to call these shoes a "Do Not Buy".

could not even get shoe on because 6D was way too narrow. Never bought a shoe and couldn't get it on. Not real leather. Liked Rockport because they are so light in Weight, and fairly comfortable.

I sent these back, because they felt too narrow to me and the leather is non-compliant. Just not a comfortable oxford to me.

looked good but didn't feel good at all

Rockport was my go to shoe. However now that manufacturing is accomplished in various countries the shoe width varies from the stated size. This shoe was manufactured in India and even though an extra wide my foot was squeezed! P.S. I loved the shoe style but my foot said NO!

I ordered these for my husband and he said they were extremely uncomfortable. The insole of the shoe was not cushioned much and he said it felt like walking on bricks or some kind of steel grate. Too bad, as these were very nice looking shoes. Will be returning them.

Nice shoes, just not the size advertised For an 8.5 wide, it just didn't cut it.

This sole (foot bed) of Rockport World Tour Classic shoe fit OK (10.5 extra wide) but was very/extremely hard. I thought that, years ago, this shoe was made with a Vibram sole. The shoe feels very hard when walking or standing. No give or cusion type feel. Liked Clark's UnBend (Unstructured Bend) - but not made anymore. Tried Clark's Un Ramble (Unstructured Ramble) and these did not work (returned). Rockport World Tour Classic has no cushion. Disappointed that Clark's no longer makes the UnBend - as these were very comfortable, yet light - especially for someone on their feet all day.

I used to love the basic Rockport walking shoe. They must have changed something, because I was 9 Wide back in the day for multiple iterations of this shoe, but now even the 9.5 Extra Wide feels cramped and uncomfortable to wear. Very disappointing.

Have owned Rockports for many years - my closet has been full of them. I have also purchased prior versions of this particular shoe many times due to their extreme comfort. However, I was very disappointed in this purchase. Unlike most Rockports, this pair was not comfortable at all out of the box - very stiff, unbending, and generally uncomfortable. I could have probably worn them for a couple of weeks for break-in, but I'm not that patient nor are my feet. Will just donate them and buy a different pair.

Have bought same shoe in past with excellent results. The new shoes I ordered did not fit. Too short. Too narrow. And too tight through instep. Felt like 2 sizes too small all around.

I've purchased Rockports in the past and have never had a problem, however these shoes are an exception. They are very stiff and uncomfortable. I tried wearing them on several occasions hoping they'd loosen up a bit. No such luck. I finally gave up and donated them to a charity organization.

Looks good but not a comfortable shoe

These felt true to size, but there is not much padding on the back of the ankle and it rubbed the wrong way.
