This shoe is just what I was looking for in a casual everyday shoe. With that said, let me explain what I was looking for. I didn't want something that was fancy or stood out. I wanted a shoe that was versatile and could be worn walking the dog in a light rain as well as going out to a nice dinner. This is a very simple, classic design that can be worn with anything. I wanted a water proof shoe and this one fits the bill. This shoe was lighter weight than I was expecting which is nice, though the soul is not as robust as I would like; it's plenty thick, it just lacks the deep grooves and patterns that I am accustomed to. The only thing that I have found disheartening about this shoe is that because of the simple design, marks on the top of the toe are easily made and not easily removed. This may be a result of the smooth texture of the leather when the shoe is new and may very well be less of an issue as the shoe ages. I have had no problem with breaking this shoe in and it has been comfortable from the first day. I wear an 8.5 in a normal width.

My feet have felt the best in Rockport since 1988. My only gripe is that I was hoping the contour of the treads would not wear out as fast as it did; about two months of use.

I wanted to try this shoe after having gone through several Big Bucks Margins. The sides were very stiff and took about two weeks to break in to the point where they wouldn't cut into the sides of my ankles. Since the shoes are waterproof, I couldn't use leather conditioning stuff (it just rolled off). I wore thicker socks instead and that worked ok. They fit moderately well and are almost as comfortable as the big bucks margin. It remains to be seen if they're more durable, but the already done waterproofing is nice and I've got better grip on wet slick concrete floors. I will probably go back to the big bucks margin when these wear out though. I just think it looks better.

Love this shoe! It's got a great "dress shoe" look but it's as comfortable as a walking or tennis shoe.

Great shoes. Very comfortable. Look good even when they're worn for a while. The only problem is that the soles wear out very quick. I wish they lasted longer. They're the only shoes I've worn for about 7 years now (a lot of pairs).

Exactly as advertised. These are the best shoes I have had on. This is my 3rd pair over the past several years. Good product.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the shoe. The only problem is, because it is rubber,the sole will get damaged in the front of the shoe if you kick something that's, like concretefor example.

I love the dark brown color and muted styling as both fit into a professional work environment. I will buy them again but in a 'narrow' size as the medium slips off the heel a bit more than expected. I like the quiet, soft sole material as I spend 100% of my day on my feet on vinyl floors and I don't 'squeak' when I walk. I have just worn them two days back-to-back from 6:30 until 5:30 and don't feel any back pains that my old (not Rockport) shoes inflicted on me. You can buy these shoes with confidence.

Good shoe - runs a little bit big, but not too much. Good arch support. Weighs a bit more than expected. Good traction. All in all I would buy again..

Very comfortable and well made. The toe shape is a little clunky, but you can't beat the all day comfort.

Very comfortable and surprisingly light weight with plenty of support. Bought them to work with dress pants for work. Normally would've liked a Chukka Boot version but these looked great for work on a rainy day. Glad I bought both color options.

A good work shoe, or outside recreation/walking shoe - waterproofing is nice. Its style is a bit bulky looking.

Great fitting and feeling winter shoe. Good traction on slippery surfaces, great water/snow moisture blocking and much more comfortable than I expected from an Oxford. Kind of clunky looking and the color is less brown than what's shown and more mousy grey/brown. If the color matched the photo, I'd like this shoe much better.

Although this was a nice styled shoe, it ran larger than expected for a 10B and had to be returned for another style.

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.
