Having these for 4 months now I have to say Rockport used to be a very good shoe. Now they are cheap and don't last. I went to a golf tourney last week in CT and walked around most of the day. By the ed of the day when I got home my feet hurt through the next morning. Not hurt bad, but hurt terrible!! I have been buying Rockport for maybe 15 years now and have seen the quality go into the crapper over the last 5 years. I doubt I will buy anything from them again, from here or from the outlet where I usually go. Now I am trying to find something to replace Rockport from now on. The shoes still look good, but the comfort which they always had is now like walking on a hardwood floor barefoot. Oh, and it was like that after a month. Very sad quality.
