I'm writing this review a couple of months after I got them.  If I wrote it initially I would have gave them 5 stars but since they build quality in at least this style of Rockports have not held up I'm disappointed with them.  Granted I know all shoes get scuffed up, but I buy alot of shoes for work so I can rotate them since I'm typically on my feet for 9+ hours a day at work so its a good idea to have a few pairs but in a few months of use they should not look worse then another pair of Clarks that I have owned for 4 years.  The other thing I'm not satisfied with is the leather feels like it has stretched out or my foot has shrunk, which I know is not the case so now they are basically unwearable for me since they are slipons are are way too loose.  So I guess if your going to buy them you might want to buy a slightly smaller size so you don't have issues in a few months.  As far as my initial though on the shoes they provide the support your feet need, very light weight, and are stylish.  I also like these shoes since they don't leave black marks on cabinets or on the tile floors as cheap shoes do.
