Rockport Men's Storm Surge Waterproof Sneaker

I've been wearing these shoes for 3 years now, and they're still nice and sturdy. The treads are slightly worn down, but still have much more grip than any other shoe I've had as long. They are excellent in the snow, and on ice. I periodically oil or wax the leather to keep them waterproof. The leather has broken in nicely, and I love how they look now. The inside has held up nicely, with only a slight deformation where my big toes rub against the upper-side with every step, but they show abolutely no outward sign of this. If you want a quality product that is durable, waterproof, comfortable, and (I personally think) rather good looking, you can't go wrong with these Rockports.

These are the first Rockports I've ever purchased. I ordered size 8.5 W. I haven't broken them in yet, but my first impression is that these feel durable, fairly comfortable, and that they look good. The stitching appears to be high quality and while the outer material seems susceptible to creasing lines, it's not very noticeable unless you are holding these under direct light. Out of direct light, their color is pretty dark. I wanted a shoe I could wear comfortably outdoors in wet conditions or while working on a home renovation project. It seems like these are built for those kinds of environments. They say "slip-resistant" on the bottom, and they have a "Hydro-Shield Waterproof" badge and sewn-in patch. Note that these are made in China (that is written on the inside of the shoe's tongue). Also note that the shoe can look darker or lighter depending on the lighting. See my pictures for examples.

I owned several pairs of these shoes, and I would own many more if they were still in production. They were extremely comfortable and the waterproofing was greatly appreciated. The laces always broke quickly, but replacement laces would outlive the shoe. The lifespan of the shoe was limited by the tread wearing down quickly directly into the subsole. I don't necessarily mind that, since these shoes were comparatively cheap, but it does create landfill fodder. If these were still made, I would be ordering a pair today.

It's been a rainy winter so far here in SoCal and I decided I'd finally get some waterproof shoes to wear to work. I chose these because they work well with khakis as well as jeans and looked sturdy in the pictures. I've been really pleased with them. They are very stable and comfortable, and don't make my feet overly warm (something that I was concerned about with waterproof shoes). They do seem to resist water pretty well, at least well enough for my purposes. They look very nice and ruggedly professional. Best of all they fit just right (the size 9 medium fits my size 9 medium feet) and the insole can be removed so I can wear them with my Superfeet insoles. The soles feel supportive but also comfortable for walking. I like them so much that I wear them on dry days as well as rainy days. I can't speak to durability since I have only worn them for a few weeks but they look solidly constructed. I am glad I bought these and I will definitely be trying more Rockport styles in the future.

The material is definitely leather. No question. The fit is actually a bit large. I'm typically a 11.5w (even with my other Rockports), and with these I believe I could have dropped down to an 11w. The area that rubs the ankle may get to be a bit irritating, I will advise if it is as such. They look good and seem To be well made. They appear to be quite durable , with a solid feel while walking, very stable. There were some minor marks on the leather and the sole, but I believe that was from transport. Price point was about right for quality leather footwear. Will these hold up? Time will tell and SO WILL I!! I will be back to update anything less than spectacular performance, which is what I have come to expect from Rockport.

My sole came off after just a few outings, but after the return window available on Amazon. I contact Rockport twice for repair or replacement and they refuse to honor the purchase because I bought the shoes from a "third party" provider. I tried to explain that I bought them from the Rockport storm on Amazon but that didn't matter to them. Buy if you'd like but know you won't have any support. Update - I've continued to try to get support for these shoes and Rockport refuses to support shoes sold through Amazon, stating that the Rockport Store is third-party retailer. They have stopped communicating with me. In summary, Amazing says I must get support from Rockport. Rockport insisted I must get support through Amazon. I still have worthless shoes.

I wear a size 13 and the shoe seems to be accurate in the length. But I ordered a wide and even the wide seems to be really tight in the width. I would say the wide I ordered is about the same as the width of a normal shoe not listed as wide. The quality of the shoe is good and the length of the shoe is good but not happy with the width. One update is that the sole is separating after about a year. Likely could be glued easily.

These shoes look really nice, I like the distressed leather look. They fit real well too. I haven't worn them in the rain yet, so not sure how good they handle rain/snow, although they're supposed to be water proof. It took me a few days to break them in, but after that they are very comfortable. Excellent shoe for the money and I recommend these.

Rockport es una marca que en lo personal aprecio. El precio es justo para la calidad del zapato. Quedó como esperaba

Este es el primer par de zapatos que adquiero de esta marca y me dejó gratamente sorprendido la calidad de sus materiales y manufactura, ya no digamos la comodidad al caminar. Se ven muy bien y combinan perfectamente con jeans y khakis.

Bien

Buen diseño, se ve elegante

Bought as a present. Very well received.
