Customer Reviews Rockport Office Essentials Ellingwood

The shoes are fine, but the service was even better. Less than 24 hours after I placed my order, the shoes were waiting for me on my front porch!

These shoes look fairly nice; however, they aren\'t the greatest in comfort. The capped toe puts a slightly uncomfortable pressure on the top of my feet when I walk. I have never had this problem in the past with capped-toed shoes. Additionally, they felt only slightly larger than other shoes in the same size.

Zappos' service is fast. These shoes are well made and handsome; however, I don't remember spec indicating they were waterproof. This is good and bad. They won't soak up the melted snow, but they're also a bit hot to wear.

Rockport Ellingwood - After 3 months of wearing about 3 times a week, they are still a little tight across my toes, top of feet. Soles wear fast (the tread) I only wear them on carpet at the office. That's disappointing.

Happy to see a narrow width! My husband stands on his feet at work all day - he can wear a med. width in a smaller size, but it's never as comfortable for him as narrow. Bought the oxblood color which goes with just about everything. Shoes a bit stiff out of the box, DID take awhile to break in, but are fine now.

Great shoes, even look good dirty (probably even better dirty). Not good for long walks, however.

Good looking dress shoe. They felt narrower than advertised. There is definitely no arch support or cushioning. They lasted for about 8 months of wearing every other day.

Shoes are way too hard. I thought they would break in and become more comfortable but that didn’t happen.

These seemed much bigger than the size marked.

We were disappointed when we took them out of the box. The shiny "waterproof" leather makes the shoes look cheap. If I'm paying for leather, I want them to look like leather. I do not consider them professional-looking shoes.

This show is much to narrow. Painful to wear.

Leather was very attractive and shiny; however it was quite stiff. The tongue ended up digging into the front of my son's ankle, so they have to go back. They did, however, accommodate my son's wide foot and high instep with a narrow heel.

Very good looking shoe I ordered 13 4E and the size is fine.There is a slight tread on the sole which gives added traction in wet or icy conditions. My complaint would be that the left shoe begins to dig into the instep of my foot after wearing all day which is very uncomfortable. I probably would have returned them except that by the time i discovered it was a problem i had already worn them all day,so i don't think that was an option. The width is fine, however.

Thought that Rockports were a comfortable durable shoe. Wore them for 12 work days and never were comfortable on top of the feet near the toes. Therefore cannot report as to the durability because they are going back!

The most uncomfortable Rockports I have ever worn. Feel like they are made by another company. Cannot understand the positive reviews. All other Rockports allow me to walk for miles.

Generally I have had terriffic luck with Rockport shoes, However in this case the shoe pinches my toes just behind the stitching at the toe cap. I will be returning this pair of shoes. I bought a similar shoe in the ECCO brand and it is very comfortable.

Beautiful shoes, but if you bought them because the popped up in the WIDE SHOES search then you'll be disappointed. Will try Extra Wide sizing next time.

Nice shoe for the price. The leather is stiff but this a good shoe to use in the rain etc.

These are nice shoes for the price but they do not have a heel counter like some of the other Rockport styles. For example, compare the heel view of the Ellingwood to that of the Big Bucks Margin. I wish that I had noticed this before I wore them. I believe this sacrifices durability and comfort.

Bought this shoe to have something comfortable to wear to the office that would work with my orthotics and is a W width. Break in took a few painful days, but after that they felt pretty comfy and lasted for close to a year of everyday use. Only thing I really didn't like is that they squeak/squish terribly on polished marble or linoleum tile floor, anything smooth and polished. Otherwise are pretty comfortable and I certainly got a good amount of use for the price.

Buying these shoes was an accident. I bought these same shoes once in the past and was very unhappy. They caused blisters. The waterproof coating wore off leaving gray patches. However, this pair has been great: no blisters and no peeling. Perhaps Rockport changed something, but I have only had them for a few weeks.
