Slips on and off easily and seems true to size.  Purchased to replace my other travel loafers.  These have a bit of style so you do not look like you are wearing earth shoes when on business travel.  However as with all rockports they are made in china. The entire sole/heel is one piece plastic or manmade material.  Heel is one inch.  My experience with this type of bottom on rockports is they last about one year.  These look better than the rockport dressport loafers and are just as confortable.  However the material used for the sole is harder than the dressport. Can be worn with business attire and maybe with some suits. Follow-up-after two months of wearing these almost daily they are showing substantial wear on the heals.  The leather is also starting to show some wear and is cracking some despite putting polish on them once a week.
