I purchased these shoes through an Amazon marketplace vendor for $75, which is a very good deal for Rockport wingtips.  The main selling point for these (and most Rockports really) is that they're extremely comfortable to wear for dress shoes.  I mean, there is really no "break in period" like you experience with other shoes.  The first time I put them on it felt like putting on a new pair of sneakers, which has been my experience with most Rockports.  They're not made of the highest quality leather, but that's OK with me.  I just want comfortable shoes I can wear on a daily basis to work and these fit the bill.
