Customer Reviews Rockport World Tour Classic Walking Shoe

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.

Leather is very shiny, would scar easily. lacing is awkward.

I was wearing a rather expensive (SAS) pair of shoes everyday for what seems like forever. They were/are fabulous.... I bought another pair to replace them, but after receiving them it occurred to me that it seemed foolish to wear them everyday as knock-around shoes given their cost, so I purchased these Rockport shoes to wear in lieu of the SAS shoes. There is a very substantial difference: the leather used for these Rockport shoes is like cardboard - very stiff and thick. The the cushioning is minimal. Actually, I’m not knocking them.... The Rockports do look nice and for the cost they are probably of acceptable quality and may last for a long time. I’m going to continue wearing them, but potential buyeres should be aware that while they may appear quite nice, they are made to meet a price point that may disappoint....

Aside from the fact that these look like my 82-year-old Dad's shoes, they are well made. The leather actually looks plastic. Hate. That said, my husband DID choose the Rockport Northfield and likes it a lot.

The Rockport World Tour Classic is a durable comfortable shoe for $100. I have bought many pairs over the years since they come in larger sizes and narrow widths. However I wonder if Rockport has changed the composition of the soles. This pair squeaked so loudly when walking on hard surfaces (wood, tile) that I returned them.

These Rockports aren't what they used to be. Unfortunately, no shoes made in China seem to be. I could feel ridges under my feet when I put my weight on them. You would also think they could give you laces with them that were long enough. I couldn't even tie the shoes. I thought I'd replace the laces from a pair of this this same shoe that was many years old, but the shoes were too uncomfortable to keep. Returning.

These used to be better. I tried a third pair after the first 2 worked well with different insoles. Now the laces are too short and it feels like the shoe is smaller overall. The rest of the evening my feet hurt after trying them on for a bit, so I sent them back.

I bought this pair of shoes because of the high ratings, but I am really disappointed, since my experience is very bad. The sole is very hard and stiff, and there is very little cushion. I am really surprised by the high ratings and the amount of reviews it has. I saw people on Amazon had the same concern and suspected about getting a knockoff. I doubt that possibility, but it is very puzzling that my experience is drastically different from others.

A pretty and manly shoe I purchased for both my 40 year old son and my husband, and neither liked it. It was a bit short in size (one is a 14 and the other a 13), and both felt it fit short. We returned them.

Stiff and very uncomfortable I sent them back

I've had several pairs of these in the same size over the years and liked them very much, but this last pair seems like a different shoe - smaller and the "feel" of the sole is off, almost like it's higher on the outside than the inside. Not sure if I just got a bum pair or if the design has changed, but I'm disappointed.
