I have worn Rockports for years, and this pair is just another great model from them. Perfect everyday use, so far so good. If they last half as long as my previous pair, I'm happy. Zappos ease of use and free shipping makes them a preferred seller. I bought both the black and the brown version. A+.

This shoe has a great sole, is waterproof, and still looks right with business clothes, whether dress or casual. Perfect for a New England winter day (or just a rainy one) when you have a meeting out of the office.

Great feel and looks right out of the box. Put them on and wore for 12 hours first day and my feet felt great the whole time. I would recommend to everyone. Great casual/dress shoe.

These shoes are very comfortable. I like the width as my feet are wide. They were a little loose when I got them but as they broke in they shaped to my feet and snugged up nicely. I have insole inserts and there is still plenty of room.

These shoes are really great for long days on your feet. I have owned these shoes for approx. 3 years and they are still looking new.

I haven't found the same style, but I have bought several of these shoes in both black and brown. If I could find more, I would buy them. I just need to know where I can get them properly re-heeled. These are definitely the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.

I simply love those shoes!!!! I have a black pair and a brown pair that i wear depending on the color of my pants. I am a wedding photographer and on a wedding day, i am on my feet for a period longer than 12 hours.. I can wear those Rockport all day long, and my feet don't hurt and i don't feel tired. They look great ( kind of professional looking), and the best part is the Adiprene feature!!! So great for the feet. It is like wearing sneakers, that how good they feel on my feet. Those shoes have also "tasted" the salt water of the Florida beaches, as well as the water of Lake Champlain in Vermont...and they still look awesome ( provided that i did clean them in the evening). I have worn those shoes at all my 2013 weddings everywhere from Key West to Maine ( i can say that those shoes have travelled) I really recommend them!!!!

Comfortable, stylish, affordable, and durable; what more can you ask for from a pair of shoes? The Rockport Essential Details are great quality at a reasonable price. Sure, you can buy another pair that looks similar at discount store, if you are lucky. Why would you? You will have to buy 3-4 more pairs before the Rockport ones start showing signs of wear. They are built to last. Don't sacrifice quality, go with Rockport.

WOW! Stylish and COMFORTABLE! My husband can be a putz about his shoes, but he was all smiles in these! He wore them to work today and came home saying how comfortable they are and that NO break in was necessary! ZAPPOS does it again!

I only buy Rockports, they feel great straight out of the box. These are a little harder than other slip ons, they do require some break in time. I wish they were made in America.

I've had maybe half a dozen shoes from Zappos. Most I have to send back because the relation of actual size to the size in the catalogue is far off. About a year ago, I got a set of boots in 14. Fit great. Ordered some Rockport penny loafers in 15. They were far too small, even though the "15" was imprinted in the shoe itself. Finally got a 16 wide in a slip-on to fit. Quite a spread from the 14 boots. If you could lean on your suppliers to be accurate and consistent, it would save a lot of trouble including returned-product postage.

The shoes seamed a lot bigger than I expected considering we had just tried on a passel of similar shoes a few days earlier. Of note, these are wide width. The shoe itself seems very high quality. Trying in the next size down.

Luckily I ordered half size up with W to wear with socks. Comfortably fit but with a little tight on the top - near the tongue and where the lace would be. Hope this will goes away after break in.

The shoe itself was made with care and arrived to me with the utmost quality and care I expected from Rockport. However, this shoe did not fit my feet as quickly as the essential s ii did so I sent it back. If my feet were a little more narrow, this shoe would've been perfect

This is a great show for casual or dress. They hold up great to wet weather. I only wish they would come in brown.

These are the second pair of this model I have owned. The first pair wore well and were comfortable so I saw no reason to change.

This is my second pair and they weren’t as comfortable at first. Once I broke them in they became more comfortable and wore them without a problem. Check out the Moc Toe slip on’s, they are comfortable right out of the box.

These shoes look very stylish. I have had these shoes for about a month and they do require a fair amount of upkeep. Polishing bi-weekly is a must if you wear these shoes and move a lot (like I do as a teacher). So far the shoes have shown very little wear besides discoloration which is fixed by polishing.

Nice looking shoes at a decent price, but wide width was non-too wide, otherwise I would have kept the shoes.
