I usually wear Rockports -- World Tour for casual wear, and Margin or Ellingwood for the office. But lately the quality of Rockports seems diminished, and Rockport shoes seem to be cut a bit narrower. Amazon had the Propet Wall Street Walker on sale at such a low price, it was worth the risk. While these shoes seem much lighter than the Rockports, they provide excellent support. They were comfortable out of the box and are quite fine for the office and most formal occasions. They are well made, with a long lasting well cushioned heel and sole. However, it seems that Propet does not make a standard wide width. These shoes are triple E, and they are a bit wide for me. Propet's "D" width certainly would have been too narrow for me. That's a downside, unless you enjoy wearing thick socks, which work very well with these shoes.
