   Stylish, Comfortable, Lightweight, Supportive, And Great Quality…Rockport Chranson
   My new Rockport Chransons have become my favorite ‘go-to’ shoes for my work these days. I am a pharmacist, and standing on my feet all day as I do, I need a comfortable shoe with a considerable amount of support in the arch/heel region. These lightweight shoes definitely are everything the manufacturers claim they are; lightweight, supportive, and comfortable. I am a size 11 D and, as much as I like these shoes, must express some minor criticism regarding the fit of this shoe for prospective buyers. My first criticism is that each of my big toes were pressed against the front of their respective shoe. This made me consider returning my purchase in exchange for a 1/2 size larger. I decided to allow them to stretch out a bit and wore them for the next week or so as an experiment. I’m happy to relate that this strategy worked for me, since the toe box DID stretch out sufficiently with wear. Nevertheless, many of you reading my review may want to purchase this shoe in a larger size. I didn’t find the toe box to be too narrow for me, but the toe box was a tad short for me initially. I’ve never purchased the Rockport brand before, and have traditionally relied on other brands like Ecco and Brooks over the years. Without exception, I have have found the Ecco and Brooks brands of shoe to be consistent in sizing for my feet. This was NOT the case with my first Rockport purchase, so forewarned is forearmed. Two months have elapsed since I initially purchased my Rockports and I still find them to be extremely comfortable shoes to walk about and stand in while at work. I have plantar fasciitis and also wear a custom heel/arch support from GoodFeet. They slide underneath the standard insole and fit quite well. I highly recommend these lightweight, comfortable, and supportive shoes and would gladly purchase them again. Rockport certainly seems to be a great brand of shoe—just be careful with the sizing(specifically the length rather than the width). I hope this helps prospective buyers.

   Perfect size, color, comfort
   I have had the brown exact version from Rockport for 20 years – in perfect condition. Am pleased to have this black version – same comfort, same quality.

   Near perfext shoes, except for the laces
   UPDATE 4-6-19: Time to get some new shoes. Bought September of 2017, so around 19 months of hard use. I work in a warehouse as well as a live event tech. Most days I do 5-15k steps on concrete and carpeted ballrooms. These shoes have held up reasonably well, but have significant wear points. The inside against my heal is fraying and ripped very badly, the insoles were completely worn away after ~13 months and I replaced them in January. The replacements in-soles are pretty much destroyed now too. There are parts of the bottom of the shoe that are loose and flaking off. For ~$70 I feel like 19 months was a decent amount of time for the shoe to last, works out to less than $4 a month. I would suggest getting an oval shoelace replacement. My gait causes shoelaces to untie very easily and these are no exception.Love Rockport shoes, some of the most comfortable shoes I have owned and run a bit wide, which is perfect for my feet. I really only wear a 9.5-10, but my feet are wide so in the past, I have had shoes up to 11 just to fit my foot width. I have another pair of Rockports, forget the model but its more boot-like, and they have held up for almost 6 years. The insoles need to be replaced, but the shoes themselves are still in good shape.These shoes still feel great at this point and I expect them to last for years. My only complaint with Rockport shoes are the shoelaces. They have very little friction to them and come un-knotted throughout the day. The only way to keep mine knotted is to double knot, but then it is a major pain to take them off.

   Just what the doctor ordered.
   Awesome fit. Great on hikes all around Santa Fe. Hope these will be available for years to come. Very comfortable even for my super-wide feet.

   They’re not the quality they used to be. Very disappointed.
   My stepdad has worn this style Rockports for years, and they were always comfortable and long-lasting. I ordered him a new pair Aug 2024 when he was in physical rehab, to be ready for him when he came home a few months later. Since his release, he rarely leaves his house, and only walks between his bedroom, kitchen, and living room. And after only 10 months, the soles separated from the shoe. I see this is a common occurrence now, and it’s very disappointing. All of his previous pairs lasted years, and that was when he was active and outdoors. After many years of being brand-faithful, we won’t be buying Rockports going forward.

   I had received the wrong size so I was forced to return it. But seeing the shoe is person I realise the following- shoe is very light- does not look the best but from a function point of view it’s a good one- the under sole is not great so keep it only on paved paths and indoors- buy a size larger than what is needed

   Den är något smalare än jag trodde. Känner redan nu hur väl den passar dock. Men någon som vet med sig att ha bara strax över genomsnitts-breda fötter bör nog fundera på att välja den bredare varianten och om möjligt mäta sida fötter före beställning. (Jag ska göra detta inför fortsatta skoköp online.)

   Las compré buscando zapatos de mi número con la horma ancha. Por suerte muy bien de tamaño y muy cómodas desde el primer momento. Desconozco la evolución y como se comportarán con el día a día, pero por ahora geniales recién estrenadas.

   I bought these shoes for my husband. He absolutely loves them. He said they’re really comfortable. He’s git a wide foot and these fit him perfectly. They look great with his jeans too!

    Comfortable right out of the box. Little to no break-in period required. Lightweight yet durable. Better looking than the pictures. If they hold up, I’ll be shopping for other Rockport shoes.
