It is very unfortunate that I have to give this superb looking pair of shoes a 4 stars. Breaking down my rating, it could be as follow:
- design: 5 stars
- quality: 5 stars
- look and feel: 5 stars
- fit: 1 star

To summarize my experience with these shoes, I purchase the size 9M as usual for all my shoes, except a few boots that are 8 1/2M. Well, I was very pleased to received them, but when I tried them on, they were so tight that my feet were hurting. This was the very first time a size 9M was tight on me. And it was really tighter on the top of my feet.

These boots were so nice, I decided to give them another shot by ordering the size 9W (Wide) instead. They fit much better. Still a little pain on top of my feet, but it is a pain I can take to have nice looking and very warn boots for the winter.

I am very disappointed that Rockport could not fix the fit issue. Because these shoes are really superb. If you have wide or even regular feet, be ready for some pain on top of your feet when wearing these.
