Beautiful shoes and cost over 3 times the price in Australia where I have purchased before so still a good buy even with air freight from Amazon. However most shoes in Australia come only in one width and not too many in half sizes and so shoes purchased in the US with their large range of sizes and widths can be confusing. Most shoes here also have US , UK and metric sizes on the label and my size 9 Aus shoes are nearly always shown as 10 US (however some websites say 9 AUS is equivalent to 9.5 US). These Rockport shoes are only sold as "W" in Australia which most retailers say is equivalent to 3E (most manufacturers here have only standard width or in rare cases 3E) whereas in the US 3E = XW and there are many many other widths.

Unfortunately what I thought was the Australia equivalent of my size 9 wide, i.e size 10 US / 3E  turned out to be too big and too wide. Am now trying US size 9.5 and width 2E but considering I can buy 3 pairs of these Rockports from Amazon delivered by airfreight for the same price as one pair in Australia where no one discounts them, it is still cheaper for me to try. So make sure you order the correct size AND width!

Perhaps Rockport (as with many other suppliers and items) can explain why the RRP in the US is $99 US per pair (price on average on Amazon $67 US) whereas here in Australia the RRP is $220 AU (about $216 US at current exchange rate, or $275 US at the exchange rate of a few months ago) and there is no discounting and yet they are all made in Vietnam or China wherever you buy them.
