I wanted a classic, rugged-looking shoe and, from the looks of it, these Dockers Overtones looked to be perfect. However, these shoes were a little too heavy for my liking so I had to send them back. I'm all about the comfort of my shoes, so these just didn't do the trick. This led me to the Rockport Eureka Walking Shoes. Let me tell you that they were exactly what I was looking for in a pair of shoes. The Rockports are not only comfortable, but they look great, too! The shoe has more than 28,000 reviews, all with many outstanding ratings. I found a great way to test them out to determine their comfort, and that's on the treadmill. UPDATE: Unfortunately, I am returning the shoes. My initial thoughts on the shoes was a bit premature. As others have mentioned, the tongue on the left shoe is too short, resulting in the corner of the tongue digging into my ankle. I've given enough time (walking on a treadmill for miles) to break them in to see if that would correct the problem. Also, I was in a fast food restaurant while they were mopping the floor, and I walked outside the wet area where there was simply a lightly damp area, and I slide as thought I was on a skating rink. I love the style and fit of the shoe until I start walking. It appears there may be a quality control problem. I've read numerous reviews about the issue and yet it continues to be a problem. I changing my rating from a 5 to a 3. I hope the company will correct the issue, because the shoe is a great shoe! The shoes were made in India. I do believe that my problem is not everyone's problem, and every shoe manufactured does not have this problem, therefore, I am still recommending the shoe with a 3 rating. Read more
I bought these walking shoes for my husband six years ago as an everyday work shoe, and I honestly can’t believe how well they’ve held up. They looked great right out of the box and felt even better, and he ended up loving them so much that they quickly became his go‑to shoes for everything—work, casual outings, even church. At this point, he wears them all day, every day, everywhere. What amazes me most is the durability. After six years of constant use, there are still **no holes**, the **soles are completely intact**, and while they’re showing a little wear, it’s nothing you’d ever notice unless you were looking closely. For the amount of mileage he’s put on them, that’s incredible. Comfort-wise, they’ve been fantastic for him. He does wear an orthotic insert, and the shoes accommodate it beautifully—definitely a plus for anyone who needs extra support. If you *don’t* wear an orthotic, they might feel a bit different comfort-wise, but for us, they’ve been perfect. The only reason I’m buying him a new pair now is simply because he deserves a fresh set after all these years of faithful service from the first pair. These shoes have been an outstanding value, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Read more
I like these shoes. I bought the Nubuck Chocolate color. They are quite comfortable to wear and walk in. I saw in some other reviews that people were having issues with the tongue length on one of the shoes, and that the tongue was either too long or short, but I have found the tongue to be fine, and doesn't create any uncomfortable pressure on my feet. I will say though, that I was hoping for a shoe that looked really classy and well-made, and this is the only issue I have. It seems to me that the shoes don't look as well made as they probably are. In other words, they don't give a super-quality appearance. But, I think at this price point it's probably what you should expect. Good shoe, comfortable, looks nice, but doesn't look super expensive. Runs true to size. I would recommend to buy. Read more
I've got wide feet and usually have difficulty finding shoes that fit. For a long time I was buying Tom McCann's from K-Mart because they came in wide widths and were reasonably priced but the quality has gone done drastically in the past few years and selection now of wide widths is very limited. So I decided to try these Rockport Eureka Walking Shoes and ordered from Amazon with free prime shipping. They arrived promptly packaged well. Upon opening them they are visually a nice looking shoe casual shoe. Trying them on they fit very comfortably, a true double E width. The right foot was a little more snug than the left but that's due to the anatomy of my foot and not the shoe. Construction of these shoes looks to be very good - nice looking leather uppers, even well constructed and sturdy seams, and a nice even and secure joint with the sole all around the edges. The bottom of the soles have a decent grip pattern on them that looks to give good traction on a variety of surfaces. The soles flex where they should at the ball of the foot, but are very stiff in the middle of the instep back to the heel, which is what you want for both comfort and support. Having worn the shoes now for about a week and a half I can say these are the most comfortable shoes I've had in a very long time, maybe the most comfortable ever. I probably walk at least 8 miles over the course of a day between work and other activities and these shoes feel as good at the end of the day as when I first put them on in the morning. My feet are well supported, I have excellent stability and comfort when walking. These shoes are much better quality than what I've been wearing - I wear them 7 days a week, based on how they've done so far I expect to get excellent wear and use out of them. I was paying about $35 before for what were basically pretty cheap shoes that didn't hold up - at $63 these are worth every penny I paid, I am very satisfied and highly recommend this shoe. I'll update this review later on and report how the shoes hold up over time. Read more
