I was looking to replace my Rockport Ledge Hill cap to shoes and found the style was discontinued so needed new work shoes. I ran across this style and the price was good. I ordered the 9 wide and though a tad snug at first they broke in after a week and feel great with good support. They do run a little on the narrow side as stated but in my case it was a perfect fit. They look more like a dress shoe then my Ledge Hill cap toe they replaced. I have come to expect Rockports not to last as long as they did years ago ( I use to get 5 years+) but still happy to get a year or 2 before the soles wear out.
