Rockport Men's Chranson Walking Shoe

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.

Absolutely love them , they look good and feels good wearing them.

There are comfortable, good quality and like the style.

Nice and comfortable every day shoes. Second time around purchasing theses shoes.

I purchased these shoes in March of 2024. They were very comfortable and I was pleased with them until yesterday, when I noticed a large split where the shoe top and sole meet. There is a defect in materials and or assembly causing the shoe to split open.I first contacted Amazon and they only handle returns for the first 30 days. Nothing afterwards. I then reached out to Rockport customer service and they informed me that Rockport does not support warranty on defects if purchased through Amazon Rockport store, as stated in copied communication below. Apparently The "Rockport Store" isn't directly associated to Rockport. Do not buy from this store if you expect to have defects and warranty issues resolved past 30 days!'Eric - Customer Care (Help Center)Aug 13, 2024, 16:28 EDTHello,Thank you for contacting Rockport.We regret to inform you that we are unable to authorize a return, exchange, or warranty for this item as it was purchased from Amazon.

Positives: I got the issues specifically for walking as an exercise, I had injured my Achilles tendon earlier in the year and after consultation with the podiatrist I was advised to get a sturdy shoe for walking. Oddly enough there was no preference given to shoes that were marketed as orthopedic additionally there wasn't any clear brand recommended.This particular shoe by Rockport seemed to meet many of the qualifications. After wearing them I found the following, very sturdy in the ankle, good shock absorption at the heel build into the shoe itself, good shock absorption build into the shoe itself at the forefoot region, external soul stiff and durable, the Shank into the shoe Is solid. And these recommendations matched what I was told by my podiatrist.Negatives: these shoes are a little heavy but that is stated on the website and in advertising. The shoe collar Is too high on both internal and external portions of the shoe and for me it gets uncomfortable I am hoping that this will improve in time. The biggest disappointment is the use of a poor insert from the factory it is flimsy and not significantly padded. It offers no additional arch support that I can feel and it has no shank reinforcement additionally it has no discernible heel cup therefore I removed mine. The shoelaces although they are quite hefty they're not the best at holding a knot.I probably have about 40 miles on these at this point and After removing the factory inserts and replacing them with some Powerstep inserts I'm pretty satisfied.In terms of fit I bought an entire size larger than my normal size secondary to an anticipation to add an additional insert, I wear padded socks and I think my foot is grown. My toes feel great in these shoes and the heel cup is superior to most of my shoes the stability and support excel and that is exactly what I was looking for.I would suggest that everybody in America look for a pair of good walking shoes, it seems that our economy is going to be crushed and I don't know where we'll be able to walk to but it will be nice to have that ability and with these Rockports at least you'll have a chance

These shoes are really good. They are holding up really good. I recommend these shoes.

Es un zapato ligero y muy cómodo para caminar que no maltrata el pie. Su único inconveniente es el agua, si se moja (por lluvia o por pasar por charcos) debe dejarlo al menos 3 días al sol para que se oree de otra forma adquiere un olor no muy agradable. De ahí en fuera es un excelente zapato.

These shows look nice and are great for walking. Better looking than a sneaker but just as comfy. Got to take on vacation for day and night use. Rockports are a great brand.

Fit my plates like a glove. Top class. Spiffing.

Rockport vale o preço, sao muito confortaveis

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.
