I really like the look and feel of these shoes, but they are a smaller tighter fit than usual Rockports.  I would say that the shoe is in between sizes (ie. 11 is more like a 10.75) and a wide is a regular width.  The shoe has given a bit since being worn, but still feels very snug and thats with very thin socks. On the plus side again the shoe looks good to great with nearly any pairing of shorts or pants.
