Customer Reviews Rockport World Tour Classic Walking Shoe

Overall, satisfied, although, I'd probably not buy this style again...too frumpy

I purchased two Rockport World Tour Classics, size 8.5 Wide. I just received them, and tried them on. Unfortunately, one pair feels great. BUT the other hurts -it does not fit, and it feels much too narrow. So, I wish to return the bad-fitting one for a refund.

So undersized that I was unable to try-on. I ordered 15/2E and they were no more than a size 14 - and I would say single e width. Disappointed for Rockport

Shoe has zero cushioning. It is like walking on a piece of plywood. My work boots have much more cushioning than this shoe. Last Rockport shoe I order. Returning for refund.

I have been a Rockport World Tour Classic Walking Shoe customer for 30+ years. I always enjoyed the shoe as it has always had a great fit, great quality, and great comfort IN THE PAST. In 2023, I believe Rockport was acquired by Authentic Brands Group, and this year in 2025, the results of that acquisition have surfaced. The craftsmanship is gone, the quality is gone, and Rockport has lost me as a customer for good. The finish on the shoes is poor, and the actual pattern of the shoe is now very irregular, especially on the left shoe toe area. There is also wrinkling on the sides of the shoes. I purchased three new pairs to purchase my old Rockport shoes, and I returned all three pairs. Don't pay attention to old reviews as they are good reviews and were well deserved back in the day, but now I advise you to just pay attention to reviews from 2025 and on. It is a very different shoe that before. I hate to post this review, but this is where Rockport now is. The corporate decision to make the shoe less expensive has destroyed the brand.

Nice shoe but felt at least a full size smaller than indicated size. I can't wear it.

I have worn the Rockport World Tour Classic for 30 years, buying a new pair every 3-4 years, and they have always fit well and were comfortable the first time they were worn. My recent purchase in 2025 is a great disappointment. The fit is narrow and caused pain in my foot. The leather is stiff and cheap feeling. Turns out Rockport has been in bankruptcy twice in the past 10 years and is now owned by a brand ownership company who does not care about quality.

The fit was wrong and the size was wrong.

Rockport shoes have gone downhill fast, have ordered them via Zappos for years and will never do it again. Very uncomfortable, stiff, size is wrong. This has been my fourth order of these shoes, the last ones I sent back thinking it was a one-off, ordered them again to find the same uncomfortable feeling.

You sent me the wrong width. I didn't like that.

The shoe was painful to wear. It rubbed my ankle bones, both left and right. I returned the shoes.

These are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever purchased. The leather is rigid and it particularly bites around the ankles. In addition, the shoes had an odor that still hasn't gone away. I wore them once and wish I could have returned them. Rockport quality has really gone downhill lately.

I got these walking shoes because I would be doing a fair amount of walking. They lasted one month before the sole started to separate from the shoe. I no longer use these shoes because of this and just ended up buying a different pair of shoes. Looking at the pictures it's hard to believe these shoes were only used for a month but it is indeed the case. I figured a pair of world tour walking shoes would last a little longer.

Too narrow and tight

Narrow and uncomfortable. The archform is too high mid arch,which makes walking difficult.

Not comfortable at all. Ordered wide but wasn’t wide enough. Have three pairs of rockports and liked them, but will have to change brands now.

I have ordered these a few years ago, completely different now. Sent them back

Very cheaply made shoe. No padding or cushioning. Not up Rockport standards.
