Customer Reviews Rockport Main Route Northfield Waterproof

Shoes are wonderful, and Zappos delivery was so fast, you would think they were next door. Very pleased with purchase and I have recommended Zappos to some of my friends. I will buy from Zappos again in the very near future.

Rockport's Northfield shoes rock - Great shoe, good looking, comfortable, and sized accurately.

My husband loves these shoes! My husband is a Rockport loyalist and loves these shoes. The are comfy, stylish, and sure footed. He wears a mens US size 12W and these fit just right - no breaking in time needed. With Zappos lightening fast shipping, we got them within 24 hours of ordering. Thanks for the best customer service Zappos!!

Good fit and very comfortable - My husband enjoys Rockport Northfield shoes very much. They look great, good fit, and are comfortable. Zappos.com is a very customer service oriented shoe store! It is a joy to work with this company. Keep up the good work.

Rockport Northfield - My husband received these shoes as a gift and they were a hit! Really comfortable and nice looking in a jeans/cords/casual dress pant sort of way - they go with lots of different looks and he won't break his neck in icy weather due to the rugged sole.

Great Shoe! After hearing so many people sing the praises of Rockport, I finally broke down and bought a pair. This shoe is awesome. Comfortable right out of the box. I'm usually a little leery of buying shoes online, but this one does not disappoint. Thanks for the free shipping upgrade Zappos!

Great Shoe, Good Price - I purchased the 10-WW in the wood color. Which actually isn't as bright as it looks. I picked this shoe because of the EVA Mid-sole (you can see in the picture, the gray matter between the sole and the upper shoe). The sole is actually rubber and not polyurethane which makes for good traction. I bought this shoe to replace my 3-year-old Thom Mcan leather ones. Granted this shoe needed some breaking in but once that was accomplished it feels great. The best part of this shoe is it's waterproof, great for the winter. I wear khakis and a dress shirt so when it comes to snow these look good, feel good, and are functional. The rubber sole’s outsole pattern actually helps in griping snow when walking. To maximize comfort I put the new Dr.Scholes "Gellin" comfort pads in the bottom. They certainly help. Even with the EVA mid-sole it’s a little stiff. That's the reason for the “4” in comfort. Overall, a good shoe.

Another quality Rockport shoe - I was bummed when I found out that Rockport had discontinued their Oklamhoma Storm Chaser line. I had liked these shoes so much that I bought four pairs of them and they last me almost four years and I do a large amount of walking on a daily basis. The Northfields seem to be a worthy follow up on the Oklahomas. They are comformtable and waterproof which is very important when walking through the slush of a Chicago winter. The soles I think are even better than the Oklahoma as they have a big more traction. I would highly recommend the Northfield.

Nice shoe - Everything I expected in a Rockport. I have had lots of positive comments on this shoe and everybody has recognized this shoe as a Rockport.

A Very Comfortable Shoe - I highly recommend the Northfield. I was originally going to purchase the Brooklands, but Zappos did not have my size, so I selected the Northfield as my second choice and am very happy with the shoe. There was not break in time as the shoes were comfy right out of the box. I wore these to Europe the second week I had them with no regrets. I was originally going to spend the big $ for a pair of Mephistos, and may still yet, but for 1/3 the price, the Northfield cannot be beat.

Very Comfortable and comes in narrows! This shoe is great! The shoe looks great, is water proof but unlike the feldspar style from Rockport this one is not hot in warm weather. Also thankfully this comes in a narrow which not many companies make and or carry. Note the narrow fits well with a crew sock so it does not run really narrow. Great Overall

GREAT SHOES - Very comfortable and waterproof! The shoes are very light and feel like you are walking on air. The best part is they look great too.

Zappos is the best - I have a narrow foot that is hard to find B width shoes. I used to occasionally be able to get Rockport narrow shoes at the local outlet. They stopped carrying that size two years ago so I attempted to get it from Rockport.com only to be disappointed as well. Luckily I found Zappos! I have worn this shoe for 2 weeks now and it is as solid as my old pair. The soles provide good support and protection if you are on your feet all day. It is also waterproof which is great now the fall dews are on the grass! My only complaint is that the sole looks a bit industrial but don't be discouraged these shoes lasted my 3 years previously and I'm still using the old pair as waterproof workshoes.

Comfort right out of the box! As a college instructor, I am on my feet a lot each day. True to Rockports, these shoes were very comfortable the first time I wore them.

Rockport Northfield - A great shoe! Lives up to the established, fine quality of Rockport.

Heavenly Feet - These are the most heavenly shoes I have ever put on my feet. I love them. I work for UPS and always on my feet. these are the only shoes that did not make my feet hurt. Thank you. I love you. Diane

I bought the Nubuck version and they look great. These take a bit longer to break-in than some shoes, but are quite comfortable after a couple weeks of wear. I also like that these shoes have decent treads, unlike most of the similar alternatives.

The Rockport Northfield fit well. The heel does not have any/much padding so it took a few days to get past a slight heel irritation. The soles are definitely soft so your building janitor will hate you because these will leave marks very easily on the floor. I suspect they will likewise wear out faster, but I've only had for two months so far. The shoes are waterproof, but at the cost of not being breathable either. My feet sweat, and this has already caused an odor problem in these shoes. I will have to invest in better insoles to deal with this. I never noticed an odor problem after a full year of wearing my previous shoes, so the odor was a surprise! As others have mentioned this shoe is not quite as nice looking as the picture would indicate. Definitely a casual shoe, and a bit plain looking (at least in black). I'm content that these shoes will last me through the winter and keep my feet dry from the elements and give me good traction in snow/ice conditions - but will need to buy something else for summer that is more breathable and with a more durable sole. By the way, this was my first time buying through Zappos and I will look here first for shoes in the future!

Rockport Northfield - Very comfortable, but also very plain. Looks like a sawed off work boot, but are light as a feather.

Good overall shoes - Not a bad shoe. Lighter than the Feldspar without sacrificing the comfort. I ordered the black ones a couple of weeks ago and I just went ahead and ordered the dark brown ones.

Unfortunately the shoes felt like they were not the same size. Additionally, the edge under the ankle was so sharp it immediately cut into my ankle bone; no amount of "break in time" would have fixed this very uncomfortable fit.

I gave this one star for Style because the dark brown shoe advertised is actually a light brown, sort of caramel color. Not close to the dark brown pictured on Zappos. Comfort was great so I'll order again in black.

Shoes look bulky and cartoonish. Color is awful, a weird greenish brown.

Nice comfy shoe for my work days as a doorman in Manhattan. However, cannot believe how quickly the heel is wearing down. Durability in question.

These are very comfortable shoes, and they're great when you first get them...but if you walk on any kind of hard surface (i.e., anything but carpet, really) the heels will wear down pretty quickly. I'm an underpronator, so my heels wore down severely on the outside, and now I have shoes that exacerbate my underpronation. Before the heels wore down they were fantastic, but after...they're borderline dangerous, at least to my ankles.
