I have ordered and ordered and ordered from two online stores. Good thing there is the excellent return option for both places. After about 8 pairs of shoes, the Rockports are the only ones that fit. I had to order extra wide, which isn’t normal for me. So I have rated the shoes “narrower than marked”. All the other brands were not the 6.5 WIDE that I normally wear. I rated the shoe overall as a 3 because they aren’t very attractive looking. But, at least they fit! My friend works as a nurse’s aid at a nurseing home.She is amoung the “working poor”, being a widow with 10 children. So a couple of times a year I send her a pair of white Rockports. From experience I know I can count on Rockport shoes to be consistantly true to size. The main reason I send her Rockports is because if her feet hurt, she hurts more all over. I have never found anouther brand to be so comfortable. It is the only brand I buy for myself for the same reason.
The price is good. Shipping was fast. Shoes are very handson. Just felt the shoes are narrow. I am not sure if the size of the shoe suppose to be this way? When I saw this shoe, I thought it would be perfect for the gym. They look better than sneakers, for sure, and they’re lightweight, which I like in any case. I haven’t scuffed them yet so I don’t know how they’ll clean up. But they’re comfortable as can be and the price was reasonable. A good investment in footware, I’d say. I have bought three pairs of Rockport Marta shoes and have been very happy with all three. I use them for dressing casually, for golf, and even cutting the grass. This morning I played golf and was the only one with dry socks when we finished. I have a bunion and they have not bothered it nor have I had any blisters, which I get often when wearing tennis shoes. They are so comfortable I wear them every day. As far as shipping I get them before I even hope to get them. These are the only sneakers I wear. They last forever, fit extremely well, and are stylish enough to wear with almost any attire. I broke my foot above the big toe years ago, and no shoe has ever fit comfortably, until now!
I brought the Marta walking shoe. It feels great on my foot. I have brought this before and am satisfied with its performance. I first brought it becuase I no longer could find the Prowalker 7100 line, which I gather was discontinued. That continues to be my all time favorite. I chose the Rockport brand because I have worn a similar style of Rockport shoes in the past and found them to be comfortable and they fit well. The wide sizes are wider than some other brands I have worn. I had two pairs of Rockport shoes a few years ago and simply wore those shoes out! They were suede and leather….I wish Novalee sandals made more suede shoes because they were my absolute favortie! However, the leather ones I purchased from Shoebuy were perfect! They are the most comfortable shoe for work. I wear them everday and will purchase Dansko Novalee shoes again! I loved this shoe. It was very comfortable. There is room for the toe area. I have problems with my feet and it is hard to find comfort. I need a shoe with heel support and toe comfort. Faux wood heel shoe but a little dorky looking. Been having foot woes (plantars fasciatis–sp?) and I can walk for quite a while in this shoe without much pain. Runs a tad large but with slightly heavier socks it is ok.

I felt like this shoe was a little big. But I just decided to adjust to the shoe. The shoe seems like it’s a comfortable shoe.
