Love the quality, fit and style of the shoe but the sole/heel material needs to change, doesn't wear-well and lasts about 6 months under daily use. Have worn this Oxford for years and would give it a five star review if it wasn't for the sole material.

Quality has went down with each pair but my biggest beef is with the shoelaces. They tend to come apart rather quickly but the real problem is the odd length. Can't find anything to replace strings, either too long or too short. I have contacted company to buy t laces but never get any response. Soles have gotten lighter and not as durable.

I ordered these shoes for use at work with khakis and at home with blue jeans. I ordered my standard size 10.5 M. They were out of the color I wanted, so I went with espresso. When I got the shoes and tried them on, it was immediately obvious they were too loose with dress socks. The color was lighter than pictured online. The uppers were stiff with the feel of cardboard instead of leather. The suede finish was not for me and I suspect it would be difficult to keep looking clean/nice. I thought about exchanging these for the brown smooth version, but they were out of my size (and even size 10 which I would have considered based on the loose fit of the size 10.5 pair I got) and the more I walked around my house (using winter socks) it became obvious I would not be happy with these shoes. It used to be a Rockport purchase was a no brainer. I have two pair of Rockport black oxford leather wingtips that I bought 15 years ago (resoled several times) that are durable and comfortable. I fear like many brands, Rockport has gone to the cheap labor (made in Bangladesh!), cheap material model to enrich their corporate officers and shareholders. I would gladly pay more for high quality shoes that are comfortable and last. I will seek out a local shoe store where I can try shoes on.

I returned these shoes as i did not find them comfortable. As i walked around the house trying them on, they were too stiff and they dug into the top of my feet.

Very disappointing. Both heels wore down very quickly only after 3 weeks of use. Shredded material appeared at edge of heel and there was distinct wearing down of the heel with minimal use on paved paths.

Overall I love Rockports but this particular item was very disappointing.

Same size Northfield Rockport shoes as always but this time left fits perfectly but right of same model as last time pinching uncomfortably in heel as if it's different model or different factory. Just wearing around house trying to gradually stretch to comfort zone. Disappointed and frustrated. Trying to avoid UPS Covid risk interaction for return.

The color of the shoes I received were several shades lighter than the photo on the website. Definitely not dark brown. This is the second pair I have received from Zappos which were not the same color as the photograph online.

Fit and sizing were good but the weight of the shoe was incredibly light. There may be no correlation between the shoe's weight and the quality of materials used to make this Rockport but I can't help but feel these might not last as long as a leather made clone.

Unfortunately the shoes that were shipped were a muddy brown color, not the deep brown pictured on the product page. Returned without trying on... Disappointed.

I've been wearing Rockport shoes for 25 years and the Northfield for over 10 years and I'm sad to say the quality has deteriorated significantly over the past few years. For starters, the sole wears down too rapidly, and the latest pair I just bought seems to run extremely narrow. I had to wear them for two weeks before they quit hurting my feet. The materials used also feel cheaper, (the insoles visually confirmed this) compared to my previous pairs. Regrettably, the new construction means they are not immediately comfortable as they were in the past right out of the box, so this will be my last pair of Rockports.

I used to wear Rockport's many years ago when I was on my feet all day so my expectations were high when I bought this pair. Unfortunately the shoes are borderline unwearable because of the totally fake, cheap plastic feel. The edges feel like dull knives sawing further into my ankles with every step I take. The shoes do look great though!

The shoes was comfortable, but the sole was really cheap looking and looked like plastic. It was very slippery on the carpet. I'll be returning them.

I got a completely wrong color. I ordered the dark brown and got a light tan. From looking at the offerings I don't even see it as a option. I am returning them.

I have bought several pairs of Rockports over the years, always 11M, and have enjoyed them. When I ordered that size in this shoe, I found that they were too narrow. Also, even if they had fit, I'm not sure they would have been as comfortable as I am accustomed to with Rockports. Too bad. They would have served my purpose admirable (I need a pair of black dress shoes for choir.)

Outstanding shoe for comfort bar none. Owned about 8 pairs of the Northfield. HOWEVER - Rockport MUST change the sole ONLY. It literally wears out badly in 10-12 months!

rockpot northfield now is different then 10 years ago. My last shoes were bought in 2008 and lasted until 2014 I bought new pairs and they look different. the sole is made of diferent material it looks bad it slips is wet surface and wears out in 8 months! It is comfortable but it is not like the rockport people remember. The new shoes are not good

This shoe fit well on my very wide feet. But... the color represented online is not close the color in real life\light. When I showed my wife she commented on the resemblance to that which exits the south bound end of a north bound dog. Very very unappealing. If I had seen these shoes on a shelf in a store I would not have even looked for my size.

I wanted to like these. They fit pretty well with a nice wide toe box. But the shiny plastic looking leather was a fatal flaw. Returned.
