Ugly

I bought these as a cheaper alternative to the Ecco Track II shoes, which are fairly expensive but fall apart very quickly. As a constant walker and an occasional hiker, I wanted shoes which were comfortable for long walks, which could stand up to the elements, and then look semi-decent in a casual setting.

I gotta say these shoes don't live up. They're comfortable standing around, but for long walks I find the shoes have stronger support on the outside, giving me a tendency to want to walk knock-kneed. I've never had any other shoes like that...I thought I'd acclimate to them, but I never have.

Also, I got the dark brown, they are possibly the ugliest shoes ever created. I mean my expectations weren't high, but they really look terrible. Maybe it's doesn't help that my feet are long. The shoes look wide and formless and without any real lines, it just makes me look like I have big wide duck feet.

Additionally, they're sized larger than I'm used to, perhaps I could have gone a size down. I'd say, try these shoes on before ordering.

That said, they do seem well-made. I've owned mine for half a year and don't really take any care of them, and they're still in great condition.

comfortable, just not for me

i tried so many sizes of this shoe and wanted them to fit very bad! they are great feeling, roomy, comfortable. but i wear a size 13 usually. and their size 13 is too big, and the 12's are too small! amazing, and im not just being picky. huge difference between the two. if a 12.5 were made it may work.

tried 12xw, 13m, 13w, 13xw. the 13w felt right for width, but i could put another set of toes in the front almost!

had to return them all. wish i could find a pair that fit

Excellent product

Best shoes I have ever worn. Very good for especially who do a lot of walking at work. Extremely durable. I used the last pair for over 5 yrs and the sole was sole as thick as it was on day 1 except for some wearing at the side.

Great shoe, very comfotable. Do not rely on shoe size for a good fit. I always wear 9.5 D shoes

Do not rely on stated shoe size. Never wore any shoe size but 9.5D. These were at least a half size too large. Should have sent them back, but needed them now. I need to wear two pair of heavy socks for them to be comfortable. Otherwise shoes are great. very good product, just not the size I expected. If you orderthese take this into consideration. First purchase from Amazon that was not great.

Best travel shoe - Rockport World Tour

I just threw out my first pair of Rockport World Tour, purchased in 1996.
They marched around Europe twice, Asia, NZ and Australia,
and did a couple of years duty at work.

Great fit, and comfortable for all day walking around Rome or Paris.
I liked them so much that I've just bought another pair for my next trip.
