I love these shoes. Great value for money and an all round better shoe than the Sperry Top Sider Venetian Loafer i bought a week or so earlier. The Sperry Top Sider costing me over half as much again as the Rockports. They are so comfortable and accommodate my orthodics. The only slight critisism i would have if any ;the leather is a bit shiny almost on the patent leather look in black. But then again i like to polish my "Collection" of shoes to a high shine anyway being a 63 year old male(makes me reminise about the 60's look!
