Excellent, but - I have been looking for another pair of Rockport #9004 walking shoes and it seems they do not make them any longer. The World Tour Classic shoes are very close in comfort to the 9004, but the 9004’s are THE ones to beat. I am disappointed I cannot get those anymore! This type of shoe really meets my requirements as my work requires quite a bit of walking. Having a very bad right ankle (previously torn ligaments more than once)this shoe is one of the rare ones that gives me the true support needed and the price is right.
The best of both worlds - Here’s a shoe that combines the comfort of today’s footwear with the character of yesteryear’s. It takes about one day to make the sure feel as if it were custom made for tender feet. Since it comes in narrow widths, it’s a Godsend for those like myself who have resigned themselves to plain vanilla shoes. Exactly As Described - The shoe was exactly as illustrated and described.It fit perfectly and was comfortable to walk in right out of the box. Because I have a narrow foot, finding such a precise fit is a special treat. One reminder about shoes of this type is that they don’t “breathe” especially well. After a long walk I’m eager to take them off, simply to release some heat.
RWT Classic - The only shoe my husband will wear for everyday is Rockports and I have had excellent service from Zappos. I am always notified when my order will ship and then I receive a confirmation that the order has shipped. I never have to go back and check the status of an order. I wish more on-line stores were as easy to use and pleasant to work with.
Great shoe, with one glitch - I found this shoe to be very comfortable and started wearing it every day. Within a couple of weeks the sole at the front of the shoe separated from itself, occasionally interrupting my stride. I am currently having it repaired at a shoe repair shop. Peculiar that this should happen so quickly. Apparently, it is a minor repair, and I am looking forward to wearing them again. These are the first Rockports that I have gotten. We shall see how well they wear with everyday use.
Now This Is A Shoe! My husband is not one to shop so during our 34 years together I’ve learned to shop for him. He needed a black, comfortable, walking shoe so I purchased the Rockport RWT Classic for him. When he put them on, the first words out of his mouth were “now this is a shoe”! I guess that says it all!
Unbelievably comfortable - Casual Sophistication Watch These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned! Great for walking, casual, for work. No breaking in, no blisters, I will be buying more Rockport shoes. Zappos service was awesome as usual, not the absolute lowest price, but free overnight shipping makes Zappos THE place to buy! This is the second pair of these I’ve purchased. Extremely happy with the fit and the overall wear of this shoe. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable “business casual”
First online shoe purchase - good experience - Guess Casual Sophistication Watch, I was not able to find WIDE shoes in the stores in my area here in Florida. So I went to the internet. Having found the Zappos.com website, I was delighted to see WIDE and XWIDE sizes. Browsing through the pictures of the different styles of shoes, I immediately knew that the Rockport RWT Classic was the shoe I was looking for. A casual shoe, not hard, but soft, sort of like a sneaker, but a little more nicer. This shoe was EXACTLY what I anticipated it would be. It fits me perfect, and the slightly wider front is just what I need. Typical 5-star rating from the gold standard in casual shoes…Rockport. Great look, fit, and durability. Slightly less cushioning effect when compared to the Rockport version of 10-15 years ago. A slight fatigue following a full day on your feet compared to a “total” comfort shock absorption of yesteryear’s shoe. Going from Nunn Bush’s Cameron to the RWT Classic was a little tougher following long days on my feet. Zappos and area shoe dealers have a tough time keeping the Nunn Bush Cameron Men’s 10.5 in stock. Both are great shoes and have the ability to last many years. If you take a liking, buy 2 pairs because one pair will outlive the factory production.
