I like Rockports.  I really like Rockports.  I have been wearing their shoes for 20+ years.  But I am having a tough time liking this shoe.  It looks great, no question... but I have two issues: 1) not comfortable, especially at the back/top of the heel, 2) surprisingly quite squeaky on a tile / smooth floor.  And although I can stand a little discomfort for style, I am finding the very noticeable squeakiness to be a deal breaker.  The shoes may start a little thin but break in very quickly.  The cushioning and arch support are nice.
