Rockport has always been one step ahead of the times, believing the perfect shoe has not yet been invented. This positive dissatisfaction compels them to constantly improve upon their footwear. Founded in 1971, they were the first company to use advanced athletic technologies in casual shoes to achieve lightweight comfort, and the first company to engineer walking comfort in dress and casual shoes.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

I have high arches and have trouble finding comfortable shoes. These felt good immediately and after a week or so they feel excellent. They are easy to put on and remove, I hate tying laces.
The finish and color are nice, but it has a thin integrated plastic sole and heel that look certain to slip. Little if any arch support and no cushioning. The toe is unnecessarily and inconveniently long. This is not satisfactory for regular use, although for appearance only and for light use such as occasional dancing it could serve. The price is out of proportion to the shoe's usefulness.
They get points for looking the part and being comfortable but they don't feel like quality boots. They measure well on heel height, opening circumference and shaft height but they're lacking in weight. Most Chelsea boots will weigh in at 17-19oz, or just over a pound. These boots are 14oz. They're light on your feet but they feel a little flimsy - the leather is very thin (almost plasticky) and the soles are a lightweight rubber. Slightly thicker leather would make them much better boots. If you appreciate things that just feel well-built, these might not be the best option for you.
The boot is long, so your toe doesn't come up to the end, however even the 2E is still narrow just below the toe. I ware an 11.5 2E in most shoes and boots, but these ended up becoming hand me downs as soon as I got them out of the box.
