Customer Reviews Rockport Essential Details II Waterproof Bike Toe Slip-On

I brought my husband these for his birthday... He loves them.. So like brought him a brown pair...part of his father's day gift..?? Thanks Zappos, I finally found a company with the width he needs...

These are a very sleek, nice looking, comfortable pair of shoes for my son. He needed these for his job which required a comfortable pair of shoes where he was going to be on his feet for several hours at a time on his shift.

I tried three other brands of shoes before settling on these Rockports (thank you Zappos for the free return policy). Had to get a 1/2 size smaller than I normally get but after that, these have turned out to be pretty good. The leather is a little stiff at first but is softening up after about a week. I'm on my feet over 8 hours some days at work and these are comfortable and look great.

Love them

Tight at first but once broken in they are great. Will definitely buy another pair.

Sharp looking, sleek-- and comfortable. Weather resistance is a plus!

Great out of the box. No discomfort at all. That's never the case with the other shoes I'll chosen in past. Went with a wide for the first time in my life. Maybe that's something to do with it. Great show. I'll purchase more pairs.

Great shoe for work and play. The bottom gives a ton of traction while it doesn't seem that visible from the top. Round toe is so key with style these days and this looks great across the board.

Shoes are well constructed and very comfortable right out of the box. I wore them for a full day at work and had no discomfort or pinch points. Nice style - dressy enough for the office but still useful for casual wear also.

One full size larger...have never experienced such a size discrepancy. Am returning and considering ordering one size smaller.

Just as expected. A little tight as new but should loosen up to the perfect fit.

Too stiff and not as comfortable as Rockports usually are.

For a few years now I've been wearing the ECCO Helsinki. Always liked the bike toe look, especially since I wear a larger size (15 US, 49 EU). When I first purchased the Helsinki, it was $100, then it went to $125. Now it is listed at $150. So, I started looking for a replacement and saw this Rockport version. Really disappointed. The leather is not supple and feels like plastic. The arch support is non-existent (at least in my size), and seemed to be towards the back of the shoe. This made it feel like something was under my feet between the heel and arch on the outside. Really uncomfortable. I didn't even entertain the idea of breaking them in. Most shoes I put on, I walk around the house a bit and try to convince myself they are good enough. I knew right away these were going to be returned. Do yourself a favor... buy the ECCO Helsinki if you want this look.
