I purchased these "walking shoes" to use on my morning 4 mile walk. I wore them for two times and found the heal was wearing at an alarming rate. These wouldn't last but a couple of months at the best. If these are truly "walking shoes" the soles should be of a higher wear rubber. I attempted to contact Rockport but waited for close to an hour on hold on the phone and gave up. I sent them an email but after a week still have not gotten an answer. I did not get a return UPS tag in my shipment so as of this writing I am unable to ship them back. So far my purchase experience is also very poor. Don't buy these if you are doing any "real" walking.Oh by the way I tried to add a jpg photo to this review but the add photo feature wouldn't recognize it.... Show more

Comfort and style.
I have a unique issue- I have two feet that don't match because of an orthopedic disability. One foot is 12 Wide and the other 9 Medium. So buying shoes is always hard as I have to buy two pairs that match each foot. I first bought the Hush Puppy version of this shoe. The wide was not wide at all and hurt my foot. But this one is perfect and very comfortable with better styling. I will buy more!... Show more

Deeply Disappointed
Very Uncomfortable shoe. Toe too Narrow. Wish I returned. Cause pain when walking. Bought many Rockports over the years. I have 6 pairs now. Used to be a known comfortable shoe. Dont know what happened. Just not what they once were. Sad i bought them. I guess I will be shopping elsewhere.... Show more

Great Looking but Sizes are WAY OFF
I have been wearing 12W Rockports for decades......and these 12W Colle Tie Sneakers look amazing but are WAY TOO BIG! I didn't have a chance to try them on before the return expiry due to being out of town. Now that I have them to try on I cannot wear these shoes. I have no idea what size I would have to order in this model to get a good fit either.... Show more

Not true to size
Bought these last week. Look and feel great, except not true to size at all. 2” longer than my feet, despite ordering the same size I’ve bought from several other companies.I couldn’t seem to order a replacement. I had to click Refund and pay a $5 fee! No way will I pay shipping for another pair which also might not fit. I’ll shop locally.... Show more

Size issue
I've been mail-ordering Rockports for years and years, always the same size, always satisfied. With these shoes, the usual 11.5W was way too long (like and inch from big toe to the tip of shoe), and it felt like my foot would slide out. I emailed customer service (NO response), but eventually had good conversations with reps on the phone and was able to exchange for a half size smaller. I had to eat the return shipping $$ :-( .The smaller size fit well in terms of length, but they were a little narrow. Hoping to break them in, I have worn them for a few weeks, but am finding them (so far) too tight in terms of width. I am still hoping they stretch, otherwise they will be useless to me.I have otherwise always liked Rockports due to their "wide" options, but ...

I will not order shoes online from them again, but will consider buying them through a physical store if I can adequately try them out.... Show more

Super comfortable and sturdy
I actually bought these in white 3 years ago and have been using them for 3 years on an almost daily basis. I am 9.5W. They are extremely comfortable and sturdy. They also look great with almost any kind of outfit. Reason I am writing a review 3 years later is because I came to the website looking for different color shoes with the same level of comfort and quality, and I hadn’t realized they made these in all these different colors. Unfortunately only had my size in blue/grey. I ordered that and ordered the tan from Zappos. Really hope it becomes available in my my size in black soon.... Show more

The shoe fits!
I own over a hundred shoes, athletic, casual, dress, and that doesn't include any sandals or boots! During the pandemic I've barely been wearing shoes, Birkenstocks at best. All my shoes are alien to me now. I'm finaly feeling comfortable enough to venture out on hikes and realised none of my shoes were of any use except a pair of twenty year old Rockports I bought at Nordstrom. Still in good condition but made of suede, they were not the proper shoe during rainy season. I felt I needed a similar pair but in leather. These are now even better because I was able to choose the width and that was the clincher! In a pandemic a barefoot widens after a year and a whole new width and shoe was needed. I'm very excited to venture out again with a new comfotable stride!... Show more

Very comfortable & fit as quasi-expected
This was my first RP purchase. Bought these Colle Tie Sneakers on the RP website for $40 on Saturday and it was delivered to my doorstep by Tuesday morning. The wide fit was indeed wide, but I guess I underestimated the width towards the toes of the shoe. Its about 90% comfortable with regards to shape but the rest feels very nice. I'll definitely try another pair at this price point. However I don't think the customer service team reads their emails. I asked for care instructions specifically for this suede model and they sent back a cookie cutter reply for leather shoe care instructions. They haven't updated me since.... Show more
