This is my second pair of these. They last me about a year before the soles are worn out, wearing them almost every week day.Only thing I'd mention is they have an odd matte finish, almost like they weren't properly buffed. Both pair I've had were like that, so I guess it's intentional. So far as size, I pretty much only wear Rockport and these fit like other Rockport size 9's.

The shoes are great! My only drawback is I come from the old school that thinks shoes should be shiny and these have the type of leather that are dull. I have tried to buff them but they still do not have that shine.

These shoes are made of high quality leather, and are water-proof, as advertised. They are quite good for walking over rough wet surfaces (touristic activity in England) where something as informal as hiking gear would be inappropriate. They fit right out of the box (unusual for me, I wear narrows) and accommodated my orthotics well. They were a good price for the quality. By the way, I ordered them on a Sunday night and they showed up at 2pm the next day!

I use this shoe to walk about a mile a day to/from subway and work. Solid shoe and, so far, holds up to rain and mud. Wish it had more cushion in the toe box. The sole seems sturdy and gives decent traction (just a little bit of slip over wet tiles).

Decent, not Airport Safe. As most have stated, a decent shoe. Definitely not airport safe (I go through security 2-4 times per week), which is the main reason for the original purchase. High outside quarter rubbed on ankle bone when new, but has since dissipated. Sole wears rapidly.

My husband has had several pairs of these and loves them. But he does get some rubbing at the back of his ankle from the stiff collar in the back, which is pretty high. Otherwise, he's happy and loves the fact that they're waterproof, but look nice. Once they break in, they'll be good.

We live in a VERY wet, rainy area, and this shoe is great because it is pretty solid and keeps the water out. It does run about a half size, perhaps even a size big, if you happen to have small, narrow feet, which I do. It is nice, basic looking, no problems there. Easy to wear, definitely recommend it. Goes well with either jeans or Dockers. Nice casual dress show. The leather is nice as well. You never know until you have it in your hand, and we were not disappointed in this shoe!

This is a very nice shoe, well made. The only thing we noticed is that it is about 1/2 size large. My husband wears a narrow, and almost always an 11 1/2 sometimes a 12, but had to go all the way down to an 11, which he hasn't worn since high school! Luckily, we are dealing with the best shoe company in "town" and it has been a breeze to ship them back and exchange. Our local UPS store is right up the street, and it has been NO problem returning anything and getting our money back.

We were looking for a certain shoe by Havannah Joe, but the company was purchased and they pulled their most popular shoe! It has been hard finding ANYTHING that rivals the comfort and quality of that shoe, but these are pretty good.

Happy with your products and services -
I only wore the shoes twice and since this is my first pair of Rockport I will not comment yet. My shoes always need repairs after three moths since I have back problems. They are comfortable at this point in time.

Nice Shoe -
This is nice shoe and comfortable. The only problem is the shoelaces have a tendency to not stay tied and I have to constantly retie them... they are not quite long enough to double tie.

Rockport -
This shoe is nice. The liner around the ankle is a little stiff even after shoe has been broken in.

Rockport Northfield review -
This shoe is meeting all of my expectations. It's a thick soled shoe and this (I think) reduces its flexibility. Therefore, it takes several wearings before it is really comfortable.

Redesigned Northfield -
These shoes replace the same model, but a different, 5-eye design (the old shoes). The redesigned shoes are really comfortable. The boxier toe make these look like "urban assault shoes," great for sleety, slushy, snowy weather. They are stylish enough to wear with a jacket and tie, but also dress down all right with jeans.

Sharp and comfortable.
Another great shoe from Rockport. These take some break-in time, but they are comfortable once they soften up. I love the combat boot look to the eyelets and soles. These are definitely casual and don't cut it as a dress shoe. My only complaint is that the soles generate a lot of static electricity on carpet which can be a problem if you work with electronic components. I wear these almost everyday to work.

As others have said, the 13 runs a little bit large! Otherwise, it is just fine. Not the Rockport of old; this is definitely a more generic item.

Not a walking shoe -
I decided to try this shoe after wearing Rockport Eurekas for a couple years. Sizing is basically the same as the Eurekas. The Northfield is a more formal looking shoe and quite comfortable to stand in, even for a pretty long period of time, but even a 20 minute walk or so in them makes my arches sore.

Airport friendly… NOT.
I bought this shoe as a uniform shoe. I work as a corporate pilot and must travel on the airlines a lot to get to my airplane. I bought the shoe for its looks, comfort, and its claim of being "airport friendly". My first day wearing the shoe I tripped the alarm going through security in Atlanta. The TSA agent told me it was my shoes. It’s a comfortable shoe, but NOT airport friendly.

EE width not enough -
Great shoe. However, if you have wide feet like I do, it's often confusing whether to select EE or EEE or EEEE widths. For this shoe the EE width still fits too snugly. I wish I had selected a wider width. Right now, I'm suffering with some discomfort until they settle in.

Made for higher ankles than mine...
...and mine aren't cankles! They're comfortable, but the sides are a touch high and wear a little on the underside of my ankle bone. It's not much of an issue.

Work/casual shoe -
Very comfortable. Wished I would have listened to other reviews on sizing. They are at least a half size larger. Zappos took care of me and I received the second pair (half size smaller) the next day.

Break-in time -
Took about 1 week to break in the shoes. I wear a size 7.5 in men’s. Shoes felt about a quarter size LARGER than my foot size. Now, about the service that I received on the phone... if Zappos was an actual store that I could walk into and buy shoes, I would probably never leave the store. Excellent service! Exceeded my expectation.

A good brown shoe -
Fit great right off the bat! Don't think there'll be a need for pads or anything. Only complaint is that the leather around the foot opening is a little stiff and will take some break in time.

I am a big guy, 250 lbs. and this is the best shoe for the money if you’re on your feet a lot. I have paid 50% more and not been as satisfied.

Very nice shoes -
I really like these shoes. They look great and are comfortable for walking. The only problem was a sharp piece of leather on the tongue on one side, but it's softening up too. The sizing is really strange - they really are a whole size larger than normal.

Northfield -
Very comfortable and nice appearance. They are slightly generous in size for 10.5 but not full half size larger.
