Customer Reviews Rockport XCS Spruce Peak Waterproof Blucher

I thought I had purchased a men's shoe. It was that big. But no the women's size is completely off. I have another pair of Rockport XCS which I love. Too bad they are irreplaceable.

Too narrow in toe box and a very heavy shoe.

My son's heel slipped too much and the shoe was fully laced, had some dirt on the suede and there is a bend on top of the tongue where it would occur while walking. They looked previously worn, not clean.

Had to return them as I wasn't used to such a high heel in sneakers before. That made for less support in the back of the heel, with my foot slipping up and down when walking...

Too wide for my foot. And heavier, like a trail or trek shoe. Stiff too. but nice that it was waterproofed.

Probably a good shoe for a pointy foot. The toe end is narrow and does not fit a wider, squared off toe area. I didn't wear the shoes, so I can't comment on the overall shoe, just wasn't for my wide foot.

I will withhold judgement until they are broken in. Right now, both heals are loose.

Fit and size were good. Weight was more than any of my other sneakes - ever

I have worn these regularly for some months now, but two fundamental flaws became apparent within a couple weeks: 1. The eyelets for the laces are sharp-edged metal. They have easily chewed through three pairs of laces (those they came with and two sets of extra-strong laces I bought on Amazon). Very annoying. I don't think I wear my shoes unreasonably tightly, either - this is sort of absurd. 2. Whatever the heel of the shoe is made of seems to be fabric over plastic, the plastic of which only rises to a midpoint halfway up the back of the heel. I seem to have quickly worn through the back there, to find the plastic digging into the back of my foot. I had to purchase heel inserts and am now on my second set of those, too. (Note that I do tend to wear shoes down in the heel more than other people.) Otherwise, the fit was fine and they are comfortable enough for walking/moderate hiking. They have done fine in rain. They look acceptable for relatively casual office wear, as well. Just expect to spend additional money on replacement laces and any other comfort inserts.

Biggest problem with this shoe were the eyelets. I couldn't pull the laces through with the shoe on to adjust the fit. Otherwise this shoe might have worked.
