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. Waterproof and lightweight are combined in the Gentleman’s Boot collection. This refined boot is built for the guy who likes a weekend outdoors. With city boot style and rugged performance, this boot is built with Hydro-ShieldTM waterproof construction, a lightweight EVA midsole, and ADIPRENE® by adidas, so you are sure to stay dry and comfortable. Rubber provides a durable grip on a variety of surfaces, EVA is lightweight and provides shock absorption, which can help reduce foot and leg fatigue, and the DEWIX anti-microbial foot-bed helps reduce foot odor and wick moisture to help keep the foot dry. The Hydro-Shield® construction: waterproof leather, seam sealed, waterproof insole, help keep feet dry in wet weather.
