I have had quite a few pairs of Rockports and decided to give these a try. Overall it is a nice comfortable shoe, but they are definitely not as comfortable or as well made as their Margin shoe.  I purchased a brown pair and the leather didn't seem to hold up as well and looked scuffed fairly quickly.  The sole has also worn much faster than what I've seen with the Margins.

If you're deciding between this and the Rockport Margin, I would recommend the Margin hands down. I've owned 5 or 6 pairs of the Margins and it's definitely worth spending a few bucks extra to get them.
