I am sorry to disagree with the other rather positive reviews of this shoe, but anyone who has worn Rockport shoes before they sold out to Reebock is well aware what a miserable decline in comfort and quality that has occurred. The supportive structure in this shoe is some sort of hard moulded plastic that is not at all comfortable. If you are particular about your feet, be prepared to pay your return postage. It is a disappointing product  not worthy of the formerly respected Rockport name.
