I had previously not heard of the brand Rockport and was accidentally through a friend's attention. The shoes were available at Amazon for a very good price, so I decided spontaneously to purchase. OK then! The shoes look like work boots, that is more rustic than dignified, but the quality leaves nothing to be desired: They are very comfortable, very flexible, have a good damping and by an appropriate membrane also waterproof. The size is entirely appropriate, that the shoes are neither too large nor too small from. For everyday use, simply class! I would recommend these shoes definitely. The operating range, etc. I do not see the mountains, but for shopping, walks and hikes in "easy" terrain.
