I have had good luck with Rockport Eureka shoes in the past, so I wanted to try out the On Road model. They are well-constructed, but unfortunately, the uppers do not seem to be made of true leather; rather, they are a higher-grade vinyl textured to look and feel more like leather. Even after only a four-hour shift, I can tell that these uppers neither feel as soft nor allow my feet to breathe as easily as genuine leather uppers. I would recommend going with the tried-and-true Eureka or World Tour models instead.
