This shoe is very comfortable.  Rockport is excellent at building athletic shoe comfort into dress and casual shoes.  Their shoes fit me like a glove and I can order them online without bracketing my size with confidence.  This particular shoe however ran quite narrow.  I had to return the Wide and order XW, something I have never needed to do.  Be aware this shoe lacks a shank in the midsole, as do most shoes in this $60-$70 price range.  As long as you walk on smooth surfaces like floors, concrete, blacktop and grass that should be no problem.  But my job takes me through gravel parking lots and these shoes are not comfortable in that environment at all.  With no shank to distribute my weight on the stones, it's as if every stone comes through the sole.
