Customer Reviews Rockport Oak Knoll - Shakespeare Circle

I bought this for my fathre. he is delighted with the shoe both for its light weight and the roomy square toe area.

Not really impressed. Looked a little cheap and the bottoms have no real pattern to avoid slipping. Going to send back.

I love Rockport shoes and have several pair right now. These Shakespeare loafers look nice, but they have taken longer to "break in" than most of my Rockport shoes. The sizing is a little small for most Rockport shoes, and these were uncomfortable at first. I trusted that, since they were Rockport and leather, they would eventually break in, and they did. The fact that they are loafers may explain the smaller size--so they don't slip. All and all, they are fine shoes, but my least favorite Rockport shoes.

I have an abnormally triangular foot; the heel is much narrower than the ball, so loafers are always apt to turn themselves into flip-flops whether I wanted that or not. These shoes appeared to fall right in line with that. They comfortably accommodate the EEE width I need in front, but the back flaps and slaps. Construction seems adequately sturdy, but I miss having hard soles. These are not a shoe I would care to go wearing on a long walk or hike, but they'll do for wearing at indoors events.

Not true to size. It is supposed to be a little wide along the toe box and not an 1/8th longer along the length of the shoe. It was looser around the heel and I had to place a padding to make it fit snuggly.

The left shoe fits better than the right. Right shoe is too loose.

my real foot size; L=260cm, W=10cm. 7.5 W is fit for me with a thick socks.

Rockports are my go-to shoes and the most comfortable shoes I have ever know. Unfortunately the Shakespeare Circle Loafer is too loose fitting.

I recently purchased 2 pair ( Black & Burgandy) . The size was tight. I wore them for a week thinking the newness was cause for the tightness. Unfortunately thty're still too tight , causing a blister. Because they've been worn for a week I don't think I can exchange them.

The sole on the toe of the right shoe sticks out further than the left and looks like a mismatch.

I'm an old customer of Rockport . I'm disapointed with this purchase .The shoe quality is good ,but not comfortable as it should be ,also the size dosen't fit properly although I bought the same size I usualy do . The wingtops fits a lot better and more comfortable .I want to return it but I don't have the box.

This is the eleventeenth pair of Rockport shoes that I've owned (real number probably close to 20-30 pair). I don't When I was a retail manager trainee working my way through college, my boss recommended them. Retail is long behind me, but any day when I know that I will be walking a lot, I wear Rockports. They've been my go-to for about 30 years now, and I have to say that, they're not getting better, or even staying the same. The leather isn't as thickad it used to be. They're not like putting on a pair of slippers anymore. I got blisters on my heels when I was breaking in the pair of wing tips that I bought before the penny loafers that I recently purchased, and the most recent purchase, the penny loafers, are noticeably not the same size, even though they are labeled as such. One of my loafers feels like a maraca on my foot and flips around, and the other one compressed my toe to agony. I may give the company one more try, but the downhill quality has not been so noticeable as with this last pair.

I love the look of this shoe, which is why I've persevered..... The first pair I bought was size 8.5. All my Rockports have been 8.5 but these shoes felt tight. I thought it may be that the leather is rather stiff and needed to wear in. After a reasonable trial I decided that I really needed a size bigger so I ordered a size 9. The size is a little better but this is the first time I have ever had to 'break-in' a pair of Rockports, the others have always been comfortable from the word go. They are still not comfortable but I'm hoping they will become so with wear - I also hope I won't suffer too much in the process.
