I bought four pairs of dress shoes because mine had all seen better days. I was really happy with a pair of Rockport Essential Details I had so I stuck to the brand. What I discovered is that two pairs fit perfectly while two others are too small. Of course, I had to wear them to determine this, but what can you do? So, I'll stick to the ones that fit well (Essential Details boots and shoes) and avoid Rockport for other shoe styles unless I can try them in the store.

Not as comfortable as other Rockports. Like other brands that need "breaking in".

I purchased this shoes in January of this year. They are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. However the soles of these shoes have worn out in less than 9 months. I work a desk job. I walk some during lunch but that is it. I am very disappointed. If not for the soles wearing out prematurely I would have been very happy with these shoes!

I wear a 10.5 or an 11 medium in every shoe I've bought in the last 20 years, including a size 11 Rockport black penny loafers I've owned for nearly 5 years. However, this shoe, the "Oak Knoll -- Shakespeare Circle" has the strangest sizing I've ever experienced. My first pair, an 11, were so large there was a half-inch gap at the back of the shoe. My foot nearly fell out. I ordered a 10.5 and they were so tight my feet ached after wearing them only an hour. A second pair of 10.5s were just as tight. I don't understand how a half-size can be the difference between falling out of the shoe and achingly tight. Otherwise, I wish they fit -- the too-large one was very comfortable otherwise and they are excellent looking for a practical rubber-soled dress shoe.

Way too large and even worse, it turns to the inside as you walk, just poor construction.

Purchased 3 weeks ago - leather seems to stretch and buckle sideways so looks weird and after a month they now feel overly loose. Mediocre cushioning at best. Had other rockport penny loafers that looked and lasted much better .....

I have ordered the same size shoes for 50 years, I don't ever remember a pair of 10M that hurt my feet like these shoes did.

I purchased these for my son this past month. He has always worn Rockport shoes as they carry his size 9.5W. He says these shoes are way too big in both length and width. The style is great; however, they will be returned. He will have to look at another brand.

I have purchase Rockport shoes for most of my professional career and these are the worst shoe I have ever gotten. They have given me blisters on my heals and I can not longer wear them at this time.

I purchased 2 pair the last order because I like these shoes so well!! i do have a problem finding them in my size (9 1/2 W) , that's why I purchased two pair when they became available. That was all of the stock. I also like the shoe that is the Shakespeare with the tassel but can never seem to find them in stock in my size.

Though they looked great they did not feel great. Leather felt stiff and shoe felt heavy. The side edges of the shoe hit bony prominences of my foot with each step so I could not wait to get them off. I still love Rockport--just not this pair!
