I bought these for my husband and he loves them. It is hard to find a good shoe that comes in wide width and these do. He wore them recently for a wedding and thought they were very comfortable. He received compliments on the shoes and people even mistook them as the same as the groom's $300 shoes. Great shoes overall and they look great!

Forever in search of a comfortable yet stylish work shoe. These are great so far! Very comfortable and durable. Definitely will purchase from Rockport again. I'm glad to see they have branched into a more stylish option. They ran a bit big, but fortunately Zappos makes returns incredibly easy!

Bought these in a 14. Fit is great. More than wide enough for my wide foot. They are very comfortable. They look great. Maybe because this is my first pair of pointed shoes but they seem incredibly long. I was expecting a long toe but this seems really long. That would be my only complaint.

Was searching high and low for a quality office shoe. These deliver in every aspect. Comfortable, stylish as hell, and lightweight.

I'll preface this by saying I'm 6'6 and 240 pounds, so I always have a hard time finding shoes. I generally have to order shoes wide and did so this time around as well. I think these shoes are much wider than I expected, but not to say that is a negative. I also feel they ran about half a size larger than expected, so be careful if you're already bumping up a half size. All said and done, would definitely order them again as they are super comfortable and very good looking shoes.

Shopping for dress shoes, I tend to stick with Cole Haan et al, the known commodities in the dress(ier) game. In a jam without my wardrobe and unable to find anything else, I took a flier and ordered these to wear for a wedding. I like a good-looking shoe, but also appreciate a subtle elegance. I told myself I'd be going with an extremely subtle brand of elegance for this one and wasn't feeling great about it...boy, was I mistaken! I grabbed these in the dark brown, and I can't say enough about these puppies. They look pretty good in the photo, but look even better up close. They're versatile as heck: they look great with a nice suit and also rock a dressed-down biz-cas look. My fav part is that they're well-made without being stiff and uncomfy, like a J&M can be...none of that here. These are comfy from the jump and have served me well spankin' the planks night in and out. Love 'em and will buy again. Way to do it, Rockport!

Recently purchased shoe - I ordered the extra wide and it is a true fit, which was most important for my selection. Great looking wingtip - very comfortable, but I have to see these breaking, as I've only worn them a few times. I was surprised by how light each shoe weighs, compared to others I've owned. The color is a bit off from the TAN photo, it's a bit darker in real life, but still matches my tan belt. The color also starts off darker on the toe and fades to more of the true tan, which looks very sharp.

Purchased for my teenage son to wear with his school uniform. He is more than satisfied. He likes the look. He likes the rubber soles because they are silent on floors, iow, no tapping down hallways. He has often needed a wide, but not with these; they are roomy enough. I read one of the other reviews that noted staining. I always spray leather shoes with a waterproofing conditioner before wearing, and we get lots of mileage as a result. These did not stain when I weatherproofed them and they look fantastic.

These shoes look great and are pretty comfortable. I've never gravitated to dress shoes with thin leather backing as they often dig into my achilles, but these are forgiving enough that I have no issue wearing them daily. Will definitely consider buying again.

When looking for wingtip dress shoes for work that I can walk a decent distance in, I went with the Rockport Style Purpose Wing based on their good reviews on Zappos. I've been wearing for several weeks now the black pair I bought from Zappos (every other weekday and maintained with shoetrees and polish in between wearings) and am very happy with them. The only issue I had, and resolved, is that the smallest size they are offered in is 7 and in dress shoes I generally take size 6, usually wide; plus my foot is low-volume. But I replaced the thin insoles with thicker insoles that take up the extra space in the shoes and in addition make the shoes even more comfortable for me when walking--as comfortable as athletic shoes but with loads more style and business-appropriate. The shoes look slightly long on me, but fit well in width and so far I have not tripped. I purchased the tan pair from Zappos as well and these are eagerly awaiting warmer weather for their use.

I saw the comment about the rain marking. That was not my experience. I am a shoe freak and these Rockport Brogues that I bought in Paris years ago became my daily work shoes. I did not realize that they were still available and I will buy another pair.

I absolutely love these shoes. However Zappos doesn't have on their information chart that these shoes have removable insoles/footbeds. Having removable insoles is key for me as I use orthotics in my shoes.

I am very happy with these shoes, my feet tend to run a little narrow and they fit well. I am very happy with the service from Zappos!

Great shoe! I wear 10.5 and ordered 10.5. Shoe fits perfect! I can wear this shoe all day! I first bought the "Nunn Bush Nelson Wingtip" shoe and had to return. Don't buy the Nunn Bush unless you like a hard feeling, tight shoe. I have no complaints with Rockport! Spend the extra money!

I've had these shoes a couple of weeks and I love them. They do still bite around the ankles but I'm sure once the leather softens up it'll go away. Otherwise very light and comfortable shoes. My wife likes the styling too.

These are very comfortable. I wore them for a couple days to break them in, and now they fit like a glove. Great sole, great sizing, great look. I love these shoes.

When I first opened the box, the shoes in the box were not the shoes I ordered. The box label was the shoe I ordered but the shoes did not match the box label, an apparent factory error (or sabotage?). They were a different size and style. When I called Zappos that night, they told me to keep the shoes (which I will donate to the needy) and they would send a new pair. The correct shoes arrived the next day. Great service.

Ordered a wide based on a review that said they ran narrower and lo and behold, they were too wide. Shoe fits very true to width and size if you don't have crazy feet. Great dress shoe!
