Customer Reviews Rockport World Tour Classic Walking Shoe

I have been wearing Rockport World Tour Classic for many years. I originally ordered my size in the Chocolate Nubuck. However, it looked like the Sand Nubuck although the part numbers were correct on the box and on the shoe for the Chocolate Nubuck. I called Zappos directly and got an immediate exchange to the Brown Tumbled Leather. This was all done quickly and professionally, so I have to give credit to Zappos. I just did not want to order another Chocolate Nubuck and have the same problem. The shoe is a good fit for me and very satisfactory. It is very hard to find this style any place in my area, so Zappos serves my needs. The fit seems to be consistent with my other Rockport shoes of this style, and that was my interest. I do not know if there is a color inconsistency in the Nubuck styles, so this is not resolved. It is Zappos that makes the purchasing of what I like and fits easy.

Great walking shoe. Very comfortable and lightweight. Can wear with jeans, casual and business casual attire. This is my 3rd pair in 20 years.

I definitely recommend this shoe! I purchased in October of 2012 and just now, have purchased a replacement. I really only ever use one pair of shoes, with the exception of athletic shoes when I need them. With that said, I wore this shoe every day during this period. It performed quite nicely, and was also comfortable, though it felt a little bit big at first. The shoe seems to be fairly water resistant, and it is certainly durable. It polishes decently, though as I said before, it seems to be waterproofed, so the waterproofing has a tendency to resist polish application. This shoe works well in both casual and semi-formal occasions, and is therefore quite versatile. Overall, this shoe has outperformed any shoe that that I have bought before, and during my use of this shoe, I never once had to replace the laces. I personally will not be buying a replacement of this shoe because I am looking for something slightly more formal.

The Rockport World Tour Classic has been my work shoe of choice for years. After a few days of wearing my new Rockport's, I noticed that the upper leather of each shoe was different. I thought, "Oh no. I have worn the shoes and now I probably cannot return them." But no. I called my Zappos rep and they apologized for the inconvenience and shipped out a new replacement pair. Now that is excellent customer service. I love Zappos!

I recently started walking to the bus stop which is about 1.5 miles from my home. I wanted a pair of shoes that were appropriate for work but comfortable to walk in. When I first put them on they felt really hard and I was afraid they would not be comfortable but they have turned out to be excellent. I will note that I prefer flat shoes such as New Balance Minimus but those are definitely not "business casual."

This is the best shoe on the market. I just purchased my third pair. I wear these every day and walk over three miles a day at work. The nubuck finish stays fresh looking even after a year. The shoes are durable and last and last. These are the best shoes I have ever purchased and I have a hard to fit (wide) and high arch. The only thing that outshines this product is Zappos' service.

Excellent everyday walking shoe. My last pair of Rockports lasted me 10 years before the gave out, so I bought another pair. While they may not be the most stylish shoe on the market, they are comfortable, well built, and look nice with khaki pants or a pair of jeans.

Surprisingly comfortable. Wore for an entire day right out of the box walking for miles on vacation. No problem.

First things first...Zappos is one of the best online "stores" I have encountered. Professional, caring helpful personnel...it is a pleasure shopping there. As for the Rockport World Tour Classic shoes...very good support, well made, and light and a good price.

Perhaps it's because they're still new and need to be broken in, but they seem smaller than the size I ordered, especially the left one. I have this shoe in another color and don't remember having any size concerns with those.

These are really great. They are lightweight and work well. For a lightweight shoe I am delighted they give so much support. Been wearing them all around Paris for two weeks now and they are excellent. They were very comfortable at home, too, on unsaved ground.
