Customer Reviews Rockport Essential Details Waterproof Wing Tip

Decent shoe, was skeptical out of the box since it has a sneaker tread... however a good mix between traditional dress shoe look with a sneaker feel on the inside/bottom. Good everyday shoe, I wear them a few days a week and they work well. However not super dressy or flashy. I have wide feet and they actually fit.

Very comfortable. I am size 14 and this seems to fit a little big, but I don't mind since my toes like the extra wiggle room. If I had to do a lot of walking, I might order half size smaller. Very durable finish and shine. The only thing I don't like is that the soles are very squeaky on any kind of waxed or polished floor surface, no matter if wet or dry.

Delivered on time and as ordered. They fit great. Have not tried them in wet weather yet. However, I do like shoes that allow your feet to stay dry a bit more.

This is a pretty good shoe. It has good shock absorption in the heels, so good for when you have to do a lot of walking or standing on hard surface. A pretty durable stain and finish on the leather uppers, so it holds onto its shine nicely. Cordovan color is versatile and makes a good dress shoe whether you are wearing black, brown, grey, or tan pants. The one complaint I have is that these shoes are very squeaky when walking on any kind of polished floor, no matter if they are wet or dry. So if you work in a place with any kind of shiny floor surface you might want a shoe with a different sole material. For outdoors and carpeted areas, it is an excellent shoe.

Someone has already brought this up in a previous review - The shoe laces are very smooth and come undone with just a few steps walked. I have to put an extra knot on top of the loops to keep them tied up (kind of like I do for my young son). Besides that these are great.

These took about three days to break in. After that, these were very comfortable shoes. They have a high level of comfort for business shoes, flexible soles, good arch support, the water-resistant design works as advertised (I have won these in pretty heavy rain and my feet did not get wet and the rain did not ruin the shoes). I hate the shoe laces - they are the waxy circular kind, which never stay tied. Though the wing-tip design is stylish, these shoes will not fool anyone into thinking they are expensive leather shoes. A sort of rubber look pervades them. They are fine for wearing in the office, but when I am in court, I wear my leather shoes.

These shoes are a true fit for me. Very comfortable and look nice. I wore a pair of "essentials" for over a year for business and casual and needed a little more professional look. I think these are a little less supportive than the essential but a nominal difference. They fit what I needed for a comfortable professional look.

My husband is a fan of Rockport comfort dress shoes; he has worn various versions for many years on the job. The fit for this pair was fine for my spouse, but he didn't like what appeared to be an extra-thick "ledge" where the sole of the shoe extended past the upper, all the way around the shoe. He felt like he would accidentally clip or kick himself as he walked because the base of the shoe appeared to be wider than the upper. I found a similar style elsewhere for about $30 less, no "ledge", so these were returned.

Surprisingly narrow for an XW (4E). My foot was hanging over the edge by 3/4 of an inch. The style and material were really nice. I wish they were significantly wider.

The shoe was too narrow and having a high instep, I could not get my foot all the way into the shoe. I liked the shoes but simply didn't work for me. I'm going to try a 5E.

Length of shoes is too small. It makes my feet look very small.

Bought these December 1st 2014. I was sitting at my desk and noticed my right shoe had split where the soul meets the shoe. So much for waterproof! Maybe just a manufacturing defect. I have been very happy with the comfort of the shoe. The GREAT thing about Zappos is they sent me another pair at no charge, after wearing them three months! So thank you Zappos! best place to buy shoes on line! And I am assuming Rockport has a warranty reimbursement agreement with Zappos. So over all very satisfied with customer service.

Fit was great. Uppers wore decent. The soles wore through to the air pockets in two months. Fail as far as durability. Was probably the least breathable waterproof shoes I’ve ever owned. Gross.

I have a narrow foot and it's next to impossible to find shoes in a B width. I was excited to find this in my width, but alas my feet swim in them.

Very disappointed in this shoe. I have worn Rockports in the past and always found them very comfortable from day one. These shoes are anything but. Very stiff, poor shock absorbtion; just generally uncomfortable.
