Customer Reviews Rockport Office Essentials Ellingwood

I’ve been ordering these from Zappos for years. I’ve worn them to weddings and on (small) hiking trails. I’ve walked through puddles with them; they really are waterproof. Extremely comfortable and functional since my “dress” clothes often become my work clothes.

The Rockport Office Essentials Ellingwood really give excellent support for plantar fasciitis & look great as well!

Appropriate for the office and formal occasions. Also, good for informal get-togethers.

It is very difficult to find shoes to fit my husband (12 4X). These shoes fit him perfectly. They are a very stylish dress shoe.

I purchased this based upon an earlier review where Zappos stated this shoe weighed 14oz. I really wanted this shoe because its a beautifully crafted shoe with a larger toe box width of 4E and made with real leather and very chic. Unfortunately, it is too heavy for my foot. While I don't have a scale, It is most definitly significantly heavier compared to the Rockport Marshall PT Oxford weighing 12.2oz. Because of my "drop foot", a neurological condition related to herniated discs, I need an extremely light weight shoe otherwise it hangs down and I trip over my own feet :( For those with similar medical condition, look at the Rockport Marshall PT Oxford shoe which is still a handsome shoe and extremely light and comfortable; however, the max width is only "Wide". Although I hope it stretches a bit, the toe box is still fairly roomy and should be comfortable enough. Thank you to Zappos for their wonderful service to help me find wide shoes beaus its just about impossible to find wide shoes, especially in oxfords. Their generous return policy allows me to find shoes to accommodate my medical disability. I'm especially appreciative to be able to wear an "Oxford" rather than running shoes with my new suit so I look "normal" again!

I've been wearing these cap toe oxfords for years and only replace them after wearing them out from the inside. Fit is always excellent and there's never a worry about a "break in period." Good to go right out of the box. Waterproof capability is a plus.

Have ordered a number of shoes from Zappos, and I am never disappointed. Lately, I have wanted waterproof shoes and the first ones still look like new. Very happy with the delivery too.

Perfect fit, feel, and appearance. Provided casual and semi-dress use.

I needed a pair of shoes for the office as I now need to wear othodtics in my shoes. These were perfect. Nice style. Very comfortable.

Nice looking dress shoes. Fits snug.

They squeak like crazy! The shoe is not bad but my coworkers are all giggling as I walk down the hall. Unfortunately, it is all I hear now too.

What a great fit. I have been looking for wide shoes with a great fit and stylish. These are both.

Great shoe ! My husband buys these over and over again. They fit his orthotic and insert with ease and they are a great looking shoe! The fit is true and the sizing is true with a nice arch support. When these wear out we'll be back for another pair.

Love them!

Recently bought these for DH. He has a neuroma and his current dress shoes were really bothering his foot. He says these are very comfortable and don't aggravate the neuroma at all. They are a little on the wide side, which he appreciates. He likes the padding around the ankle, and says visually they look good with his suits.

Comfortable. True to size.

Love the shoe. it had to be stretched a little, but once that was done, they are very comfortable, and look very good with business/office casual. The fact that they are waterproof is great, at least insofar as walking in a moderate rain without worrying about having to put totes/rubbers on is great.

This is my 2nd and 3rd pair of Rockports. I needed some work shoes and the last pair of Rockports were so durable I got two: the Ellingwood and the Evander. I like the comfort and the rubber soles. Great work shoes!

Shoes are great. I work all day in an 80,000 square foot, concrete floor furniture store. These took a couple days for the toe box and tongue to break in, but they weren't painful. They are quite comfortable now, while looking like a dress shoe (as opposed to a clunky "comfort" shoe).

Solid shoes. Rockport is my go to shoe these days because most other shoes just don't have the same support. They take a good week to break in, but after that they are perfect. I wear these a lot so have to replace at least once a year.

This is a very nice looking shoe. It has a very nice shine and looks very dressy. Weatherproofing is a plus. But like all shoes made in China, so up a size and in a width to get it to fit best.

Very comfortable shoes in a 15 which is surprising. Quick standard delivery. Very convenient USPS tracking.

My husband has very wide feet and says these are the most comfortable dress shoes he's ever owned. He took out the insoles for added space and added a thin cushion. He loves these shoes!

This is my 2nd pair of these shoes and they are excellent. I am very hard on my feet when I travel and these shoes hold up to the rigors of running from meeting to meeting and still look good at the end of the day. Very comfortable and very durable for dress shoes.
