Lightweight, excellent fit, and very comfortable.  However the last pair of Rockport shoes I bought roughly 6 months prior to this pair were of decidely lower quality and wore out after just a couple of months of use. Hoping they were a "one off" in quality control, so I will be paying attention very carefully as to how these hold up. If they are as good or better than expected I'll note that in a few months; but I also plan to downgrade this review if they fall apart quickly. But So far so good!
