Customer Reviews Rockport World Tour Elite Encounter

Another great purchase! I’ve worn this pair of shoes to work four days a week for the last 6 weeks or so and they’ve been great. I am on my feet a lot, walking from one end of our plant to the other and have had no discomfort. The shoe looks great with Dockers and can be worn with jeans for casual Fridays. The Rockport brand has proven to be a comfortable, quality fit for me. This is the fourth different model of Rockports that I’ve purchased and have been happy with all of them. The selection is good, the price is reasonable and the Zappos.com customer service is terrific. It’s a great combination.

Very comfortable, but they make an audible squeak! Thought it was the the bottom of the shoe but they made the same sound on all surfaces...turns out to be the insert. Sorry, will have to return.

One of the worse pair of Rockports I've ever purchased. Unknown when I purchased the shoe, but the interior of the sole actually has ridges directly under the ball of your foot...why, I dont know, but I know after walking around in shoe that the ball of my foot was very irritated and sore. Wore the shoe 3 times and they've sat in my closet ever since. Will likely be going to Good Will soon.

I have worn these shoes for 4 months and the sole is seperating at the toe and breaking off on one foot. They starting coming apartn the first 60 days.

The soles separated after two months; and the strings frayed after a month. The durability is poor. I am not a competitor, I am a consumer looking for a durable pair of shoes. These are cheap shoes, way overpriced.

Good shoe.

These shoes are outstanding however the insoles wear out well before the rest of the shoe.

I have a very odd shaped foot. I had to exchange four times before finding the perfect fit. Kudo's to Zappo's for being so great about exchanges. This shoe fits well. Although I wish Rockport had this exact fit in a more business style shoe, this one will do the job in the office.

I have been wearing Rockport shoes for decades. My experience is they last for 5 to 8 years before they wear out. Some were pretty stiff to begin but always conform to my feet within a day or two and are very comfortable

Uncomfortable small lump under the ball of each foot. It seems to be an unfortunate confluence of some ridges in the insole and ridges in the footbed. If not for that the shoe would be perfect. Had to return them.

Good looking, generally good fit. Leather a bit stiffer than expected so it took some breaking in to get comfortable.

Nice shoe. Needed a wider shoe so I ordered it and it fits just fine.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have purchased in years. I wear them all day in the office and they feel great. Good construction, plenty of comfort and easy to care for.

A very nice looking shoe, I like the style very nice. I have to admit, the are a little uncomfortable, I'm sure they need a little more break in time. Zappos is awesome, to deal with, customer service is second to none, fast delivery, Thank you for that.

Finally fitting comfortably into shoes years after Morton's neuroma surgery. These are super comfortable. The inserts are seriously inadequate though, some kind of gimmick with the "suspension system," but I just threw in some Aetrex orthotics ($60) and am good to go (at 222 lbs size 14D I wouldn't expect to be squishing through plastic air bubble inserts but that is what these shoes do(. The combo was not cheap but I suspect these are going to last. Finally coming back to Rockports after having given up on their sizing. Great that they come in wide widths, but all the Rockports in wide are too loose in the ankles. So thanks for shoe stretchers too which relieved the lateral pressure. Love the dress shoes too.

A little stiff out of the box, but suspect they will break in nicely. I have a narrow foot and these fit well.

Love these shoes! They replaced the two pairs I bought two years ago. I walk and wear the out side of the heel and wanted 2 new pairs after alternating the two pairs almost every day. They are great.

These were comfortable for my husband from the first day he put them on! He has a Brown pair like these and has had them almost two years. He is on his feet all day at work and swears by them. It is difficult to find shoes in the 4-5 E widths so we rely on Zappos! Wish there were more 5 E widths to chose from.

I had a brown pair I wore for a trip to Europe. Great shoes. I like them so much, I just bought a black pair.

As expected, extraordinary quality from Rockport. Unlike ordinary dress shoes these are actually designed for walking. They have this neat air chamber insole that transfers foot pressure from the forward chamber ball to the heel chamber providing nice cushioning. I have designed to return them because I'am recovering from plantar fascia. I went with the Books Addiction Walker. I had a pair of Prowalkers I bought at a thrift store, and wore off and on for 7 years. They were even the wrong size for my foot. For my narrow foot these ran a half size large.

This is my third pair of these shoes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The best shoes I've ever owned. Great if you need the extra width and accommodates hefty orthodics.

I wear these as work shoes. They are comfortable and I can easily stand for 8 hours without my feet hurting. I would definitely buy again.

Nice looking shoe, with a good fit. I have been wearing it to the office, and for casual. It works either way. It is light weight, comfortable, and feels good even after being worn all day. I have a wide foot and based on other reviews I ordered exactly to size and was pleased with the fit of my 10EEEE. The only (minor) negative is that the laces tend to come loose a bit easily.
