User Reviews
Shoes are comfortable, and the 10.5W I ordered came through true to size. Also, good looking enough to pass in office environments.
These shoes look fantastic and feel great, at first…. I do a lot of trade shows and have always used Rockport in the past due to their longevity and comfort being on my feet all day. These fall short in the comfort and support department. After about an hour of wearing these working my knees and back were on fire. I do not recommend them for extended periods of being in your feet.
