My husband loves these shoes - As he's on his feet most of the day, up and down stairs and across campus he decided to give Rockport a try. So glad he did - his first pair of Rockport's (different style) were still serving him well but he noticed his legs were getting tired earlier in the day so he decided to replace them. His old style of Rockport's were no longer made so he switched to this style. Very happy with his choice - very good arch and footbed support - and they are comfortable all day long. While Rockports are a little pricey - the support and comfort they offer as well as the longevity (his old Rockports are still wearable for around the yard and they are over a year old) make them well worth the cost. Arrived quickly, well packaged, fit perfectly, no manufacturing defects - no problems with purchase at all. Very happy with purchase but wish they came in a black color.
