These shoes were everything as advertised, except for having a durable sole. They look good, had the right fit for my very wide feet, and were incredibly comfortable. However I've now owned them for a fraction of time I've owned other "durable" shoes, and they're barely wearable. The sole has lost all tread. A significant section of the outsole on one of the heels is completely gone (about 1/2" worn down). The sole readily absorbs water; why even make waterproof soles if they have soles that are basically foam sponges? The combined effect is that they are very slippery (to the point of being quite dangerous in the winter), unbalanced, and not at all waterproof. I really wish these had been better, but now I'm forced to revert to uglier, more durable shoes. Disclaimer: I walk a lot. Really, a lot. Which is why it's disappointing to have such poor durability performance when the shoes are advertised like this: "Rubber outsole with lug design provides durability and grip on a variety of surfaces for maximum walkability." That's just a lie.

I need to wear something that is fancier than sneakers at work, but I also do a lot of walking and need to be comfortable, so these shoes are perfect. They are classy looking but very comfortable and well-designed for walking.

I wear these in Espresso Nubuck for work in rotation. They look business enough with the right pants and jacket. The Northfields are pretty comfortable overall but are really great for walking. The shoe body is stiffer than I expected and the Espresso Nubuck is much lighter than the picture. The stock insoles feel fine, so I'm not replacing them. I've been a Rockport fan for many years, and the Northfields carry the tradition well. I'll probably buy the black Northfields in the future for my more "formal" business shoe. Zappos shipped these the day after I ordered them and I received them the very next day. Another outstanding Zappos experience.

Have had 3 pairs of these before. The Nubuck looks great with business casual in the office. Best of all, these will keep your feet dry in rain or snow, and dirt cleans off with just a light brushing.

Shoe is comfortable and semi-dressy. I used it to replace some regular black dress shoes. They are not as dressy as spit-shine leather, for sure, but in some cases one can get by with it. I seldom wear black shoes but these will get me through those times with comfort. Though I checked "felt true to width"...these were maybe just a touch wider. I say that because another pair of a different brand were 'just a touch' narrower...and I returned them. These: order your width and you'll have every bit of that room.

This shoe is a staple of mine for work. Zappos gets it to me so quickly and it's better than going to mall.

I am highly pleased with Zappos service. Ordered shoes, received them promptly, only to find that the size I ordered ran slightly large in that style. I returned them at no cost, and received the smaller size I wanted very promptly. Good transaction.

Sturdy, repels the elements, yet attractive enough for business attire. Lightweight and comfortable. This is the 3rd exact pair I've owned.

My last pair of Rockports lasted more than8 years before I replaced them with these shoes. It is my first day wearing them and so far they are comfortable. I expect them to be more so when they are broken in. Very happy.

Bought these for my husband. He wears size 13 EEE and loves the fit and style of Rockport shoes. We bought these for casual, but he has other styles that are great for the office. Waterproof is an added plus.

Very comfortable! The 12W was about 15mm too wide for my big foot; they were flopping around on me. I'm going to try the 12 regular.

My son loves the shoes. The only problem was we had to return them because the wrong shoe and wrong size was in the correct shoe box. The return shoes were correct and the service was excellent.

I love these shoes. They're very comfortable, and the leather doesn't mark easily so they still look good after 8 weeks of frequent wearing. I've had a problem with brown shoes in that regard. The one issue is the laces... see photo below. They are falling apart after less than 2 months. That's kind of ridiculous.

Great shoe, very comfortable, with good arch support. Lightweight, but stand up to heavy use.

I have purchased at least 7 or 8 pairs (I've lost count) of the Northfield shoes over the years and there's no better casual shoe for me. No break-in time and no fatigue, whether I am walking a construction site, walking through a mall, or in the office. Very comfortable shoe. Quality of construction has been consistent too. I have tried other shoes and brands to get out of the rut, but I keep coming back to these. Now have all three color options.

I stand 8 hours or more a day at work, and I found this shoe to be very comfortable from the first day I wore it.

We were delighted to find Zappos. The free delivery and return were important but the quality of the shoes and the speed of delivery was amazing. I would highly recommend.

I have narrow feet, and it is tough finding good shoes at a good price that fit. Zappos has been my lifeline for years! This is the third pair of this shoe I have ordered.

Very comfortable at a reasonable price. I wore them the first time during a recent trip to Texas and was on my feet over eight hours with no problems.

I bought the Nubuck Rockport Northfields for work. I wear a tie everyday, so it's a business casual atmosphere. I had these shoes in black several years back and have basically compared each dress shoe to these. These Northfields are the gold standard. Once the initial break in period is over (common with most all shoes), they are substantial and extremely comfortable. You can't go wrong with these shoes. To say they are awesome, cool, fantastic or superb is an understatement. They are simply put, amazing. And the Shipping at Zappos, are you kidding me? Overnight for free! Zappos made it an extremely pleasant experience.
