After wearing these shoes for two solid days (thanks to the weather), they fit and wear as expected. Seeing older Rockport shoes and their older clunky style, I was very concerned if I would even like these at all. However, it seems that great quality and workmanship went into making these comfortable AND stylish shoes. So for the price, I'm extremely happy with my purchase - just not in the manner in which they were shipped from the seller... loose in a large bag and not secure in the shoe box.
