Great shoe for my job walking on concrete all day - I have been coming home everyday for months with sore feet and ankles until I was referred to Zappos.com. I have had difficulty finding a walking shoe that looked good enough for work but provided the cushion and stability I need. I had a pair of Rockport’s in black years ago, but the brown looks great with my more casual attire as a manager for the state warehouse. I have never purchased shoes online or without checking for fit, but this shoe was right on in fit, comfort, and style. Tan kicks - I have yet to be disapointed with Rockport shoes. My latest purchase is no exception. Given the fact that I have 6 toes on both feet (kidding). I have found that I have been able to order shoes that fit comfortably and look good.
There is no indication on the shoe as to it’s size. Guess Avenger Footwear. I normally will not buy a shoe where I can not see stiching all around the sole of the shoe. The photo was not clear enough to see any stiching and I found that glued soles have a short life span for me. These Guess Avenger shoes has no visible stiching. Bought these after buying New Balance 901’s and 800BK’s - had tried a pair of these on at a store and found them much more comfortable. They fit perfect, look good and are great walking shoes. Couldn’t be more pleased. Had a great customer service experience with Zappos recently as well - mistakenly duplicated an order which they fixed immediately and they shipped my order expedited for no additional cost. The customer service is the best.
COMFY!!!!!! I bought these for my husband and he really likes them. They have a soft feel with good arch support and are very light weight. They are not as attractive as some others but when you’re 53 it’s the comfort that counts. Seeking an almost athletic shoe that doesn’t look like an athletic shoe - looks almost like a normal or dress shoe. The Rockport comes very close. Slightly too heavy and a little too warm but not bad at all. I will probably wear it a lot. As an example, just got back from a 6 day trip Florida - Korea. Wore said shoe almost all the time and it worked fine. Since the shoes arrived in the mail about a week ago, I have been eagerly waiting for the opportunity to write a review. The shoes are great! The Zappos website, ease of ordering and service are all great!! I especially liked how the website allowed me to see the shoes from different angles, enlarged and with great clarity and detail!!! Zappos can definitely expect more business from me in the future. I am so satisfied that ordering through Zappos may be the only way that I will purchase shoes from now on. Thank You!!!
Dad’s favorite - I bought these for my 87 year old father who has lots of foot problems and he says that they are the best shoe he has ever worn! It’s rare when he doesn’t complain about something, but he just jumped right into these and was very satisfied.
Only shoes I consistently like - Clunky, dorky looking, not much cushioning on soles, not much support at heels . . . but I can just wear them forever! I don’t know why, but they simply continue to feel good and don’t give me the various aches and pains that more cushioned shoes do. Lots of room for ball and toes (I wear wide), no tightness on top. I’ve had my current pair for almost 24 months now. I thought they were worn out 14 months ago, but they just keep on going. Only shoes I know I can just buy and wear. I only wish they looked better
4th pair and still love them - I have an odd size, a solid 13 1/2. The first thing I look for is whether the shoe is true to size. Rockport�s are consistent. I have both a brown and black in 13EE and they are quite comfortable. They wear like iron and go with the casual dress of my work. Only potential downside is they tend to be too padded, and therefore warm, in warm weather.
Excellent shoe! I purchased a pair of the chocolate nubuck Guess Avenger Shoes. World Tour Classic three years ago, and have worn them every day to work, five days a week. I walk an average of six indoor miles a day on the job, and these shoes were very comfortable and extremely well-wearing. I normally do not get more than a year out of shoes, but these have kept going and going. I have literally worn the tread on the soles smooth, which is why I am buying a new pair, and looking forward to receiving them. I do have very flat arches, so very early on I added a pair of 3/4 length IsoArch supports, and still have that original pair in place. With the supports and these shoes, they are hands-down the best footwear I have yet found. The uppers have held their appearance very well, too, despite being worn in snow and rain, and even being completely submerged a few times. It really is a classic- I already own an earlier version of this shoe, so when I needed a sturdy but lightweight walking shoe for a six week tour of Spain I seized on this pair with glad cries. Age and declining muscle tone have forced me to give up the Rockport hiking boots I normally wear every day, including to the office, but I have found these to be very supportive, and the hard pebbled finish will take a shine so that I need only one pair of shoes for walking and for evening wear. It took only a day or so to break these in. BTW, my “true size” ratings were facilitated by owning a similar pair; others might feel differently.

The uncluttered look is great!

I like those styles, too, I like at least one pair in each group.
