I've bought Rockports for a long, long time, occasionally trying some other brand to compare what's changed, and always came back to Rockports.  I used to pay between 80 and 120 dollars.  On Amazon, the price is equal to the best sale price I've gotten.  This time I tried the new style, which is a more expensive-looking shoe, and a bit of a firmer insole.  Best ever, amazingly fast service, and the least I've ever paid for the best shoe for me.
