Update (03/23/2016) I finally got my replacements! It took just under 30 days from the time I shipped them back to Rockport. At least they replaced the defective shoes, hopefully these hold up longer.   edit (02/08/2016) Well, I purchased these shoes on August 13, 2015, It is now February 8, 2016. The shoes, while I've babied them, never wore in snow/salt. Only to work and back (I work at a desk) the sole is separating from both of the shoes.  Right out of the box these are the most comfortable pair of shoes that I've ever worn. Just got done working a 10 hour day and they feel better than being barefoot. Rockport makes my favortie shoes hands down. 12 EE (W) and I have a little roomier toe area than the lighter summer pair of Rockports that I own. I also own a year old waterproof ankle high shoe from Rockport and these fit the same as those.  Amazon was $20 cheaper than Zappos :-) - Also can't beat their customer service.
