I used to love Rockport. Quality was amazing but now it's terrible. Wasn't it bought out by Reebok or something?
If you want nice quality shoes at a discount you just have to find a sierra trading post. That's my go to these days when I want quality for half price.

I received mine. Don't buy. Shoe is like a rock and you definitely don't want them to go on hike. Go find a good pair of shoes. Your body will thank you. Mine is going back.
Idk I got on the deal that was posted a couple weeks back with the Dickinson trekker. I'll definitely be throwing some insole into them. They were a good price and look good, but there are like completely flat and hard on the inside. Not comfortable at all. I think with a nicer insole they'll be fine, but I'll stick with my Merrell or new balance for most days.
Picked up the Faulkner on the last deal and it's an excellent shoe. So comfortable. Not sure why people talk about water proof..etc.. it's not water shoes
what kind of color is 'breen' (breen nubuck mocs) anyway?? Other than as shoe descriptors, the only reference to 'breen' I see are things like from star trek, of all things.

As someone who just turned 60, Rockports or New Balance?
If it's a Slickdeal, get both! (seriously though, I see Rockports more as comfort shoes, for walking, hiking, casual. New Balance does cover the same, but they also have a larger athletic performance leaning, with more shoes specifically for running and similar activities.)

I'd go new balance.
Think he was being a bit sarcastic, as both brands are known to be particularly popular with older shoppers.

Yes, Rockport is definitely not what it used to be. They were excellent quality, durable, and light weight. I think quality went down right around the time company got bought out.

But wouldn't want the laces to touch the floor of the bathroom.

Think of it like this - Sears vs new balance - no comparison- different league. These are low end like sears or champion or Fila sneakers.
