Even at list price, these shoes would be a bargain
By Virtualmonk
I picked up a couple pairs of these when Amazon had a special deal on them. I'd been looking for a replacement for my Ecco Receptors and these were the first shoe I had found that at least appeared to be comparable in design and would fit my "C"-width feet. Right out of the box I knew I had struck gold. They fit *perfectly* and were *incredibly* comfortable. There was a somewhat painful break-in period where the shoes had to conform to the odd juts and curves of my feet, but that only lasted a few days, and after that they felt fine. I have a high instep, and the lacing on these, unlike every other Rockport shoe I have ever tried on, allows for plenty of adjustment.
If I have any complaints, they would be that the laces are not really sturdy enough for the lacing system (I'm probably going to have to replace them in a few months) and the toes frequently need polishing, but those are very minor annoyances. All the positives of the shoes more than make up for the
negatives.
Follow-up notes after six weeks of hard daily wear:
I was right. The laces began to shred and needed replacement after about three weeks. In an ironic twist, I ended up using some Ecco replacement laces, as the only laces Rockport supplies that would work with these length-wise appear to be even less sturdy than the originals. Go figure. Otherwise, with a little scrubbing and polish on the toes, they look like new.
The bottom line remains the same, though. These are terrific shoes!

Stiff but looks great!
By M. Cunningham
This shoe looks just as good out the box and on your foot. However they are a bit stiff and aren't light on your feet as some of my other sport shoes. Let's hope I just need to break them in more...

Comfortable shoe on the heavier side...
By Gautam
The shoe is a little heavy and is more suitable for colder climates. It lasted more than a couple of years. Overall satisfied with my purchase.
