I love these shoes. Having 3 pairs, I am able to change
frequently to adjust to the clothes I wear to work. I wore
these shoes ten years ago for casual wear occasionally. When
I saw that my boss wears them also to work in, I asked him
how he could wear such a nice expensive shoe to work in. He
replied to me that how could he NOT afford to wear such a
good, strong, sturdy shoe to work in. This made sense to me
since I had been having so much trouble with my feet and
other shoes. We are veterinarians working on race horses on
the track, which demands a lot of walking and being on our
feet on a regular basis. Then, when I saw that this shoe is
endorsed by the Podiatric Association, I was completely
sold. I love this shoe!! Want a commercial? (:-)

The Rockport World Tour Classics are great... I've bought
this same style 4 or 5 times in the past. I wear these shoes
to work every day and they have always lasted about a year
for me. They are comfortable with good traction, and they
look nice too. Because the Shoebuy price was so good, I
bought two pairs at one time, so I may not need new shoes
for 2 years now. It may be because my old shoes were pretty
much worn out, but the new pairs seemed somewhat narrow for
being Wide width, but not drastically so. I'm sure they will
spread out the longer I wear them.

I've been a big fan of the Rockport WT Classic for a long
time. I have really bad feet, actually had surgery on both
of them several years ago, and I wear orthotics in my shoes,
so I need shoes that provide a lot of support to my feet.
I've found that the Rockport WT Classic is one of very few
shoes that seem to fit me well even with my orthotics.
You'll probably get longer use of these shoes than I do if
you walk evenly across the length of your foot. I tend to
walk with a very broad step, so I tend to put holes in this
shoe on the bottom near the toes, but that can hardly be
attributed to the shoes. I've done that with other makes of
shoes before finally settling on the Rockport WT Classic for
general comfort reasons. Also, if you do a lot of traveling,
a TSA official indicated to me some months ago that these
shoes are actually made with some amount of metal in them,
and they do set off metal detectors in the airport, but
that's a very minor inconvenience for me. Otherwise, as I
said at the top, its an excellent shoe for the comfort and
durability.

Only had them a week, so this is my preliminary opinion. I
bought these because I have about a 10-12 minute walk from
where I park to my office each day --all concrete and
asphalt. The heals on my work shoes (loafers) would wear
down pretty quickly, not to mention that my feet often hurt
on the walk back to my parking garage. Can't comment on the
wear yet, but these shoes are very comfortable. They won't
win any fashion awards, but that's not their purpose anyway.
So far I'd say I'm pleased overall with my purchase.

I was always the type of person who bought cheap shoes. Not
dirt cheap but I would pay $35-$45 on Shoebuy for a pair of
Dockers or Sketchers casual shoes for work. I would go
through two pairs a year because they stretched out and the
leather would scuff like there was no tomorrow. So far the
Rockport's are excellent. They are very comfortable and
offer very good support for your feet. Note that I ordered
my usual size and they were very tight and a hair short. I
exchanged them for a half size larger and they fit perfect.
Thanks to them for the FREE exchange. I may have paid twice
the price I'm use to but they are well worth it. I've only
been wearing them for about 3 weeks but so far I would
highly recommend them.

I bought my first pair several years ago and was blown away
at how comfortable they were. They keep my feet from getting
overheated (so no more smelly feet when I take my shoes
off)! I even prefer to walk in these rather than any of my
athletic shoes (which DO make my feet hot). As a bonus, they
last much longer than Nikes and Adidas shoes on me. Add the
fact that they are appropriate for office-casual wear, and
you now see the shoes I wear 7 days a week. These were the
only shoes I have ever owned that were so good I had to buy
the same kind again when I wore out my first pair after more
than a year of daily use. (I still use the first pair, but
only for yard work and kicking soccer balls around with my
kids as they look weathered now.) I was delighted to find
these shoes online. I own both the black and "chocolate"
brown pair, and in fact I have two extra pairs in the closet
in case they stop making them next time I need to replace
them! |
