I envy people who can wear any shoe without having to worry about the support and cushioning the shoe provides.  I have bad knees and flat feet and so wearing most dress shoes is an exercise in discomfort.  However, at one point, I discovered Rockport shoes and never looked back.  My last pair of Rockports looked great, gave me plenty of support and after a break in period, didn't hurt my feet.  But my last pair of Rockports is a bit dated in design, now I am looking to step up my shoes and to find a timeless dress shoe that looks great and feels great.  Since I have worn Rockports for years, I wanted to give this pair of Abraim Oxfords a try.

Although they fit well, I found that the look of these shoes was a bit lacking.  My last pair of Rockports had a shiny finish and looked sharp, in part because they didn't have a Rockport logo stamped on the side of the shoe.  I was looking for something along the same lines in the Abraim Oxford.  However, the Abraim had a dull finish and looked cheap.  Furthermore, there was big R (for Rockport) integrated into the material on the side.  The design looked like something that you would wear casually maybe in the office with chinos but certainly not with a suit or to a more formal occasion because the shoe design says comfort at the expense of a quality look.

Overall, a good shoe if you are looking for a comfortable pair of footwear for casual wear.  However, if you are looking for something a bit more formal, you may want to consider a different shoe.
