Rockport Men's Darwyn Xband Slide

I've had these sandals for 4 years now and finally felt compelled to review. I do a lot of outdoor work in these things (digging, planting, etc.) Probably more than I should be doing in sandals and they've held up way better than expected. Easy to slip on and off, thick soles with traction, and comfortable. I'll be buying another pair when the time comes.

My boyfriend loves them. They are just as pictured, true to size and they are so comfy. Yes, I tried them on 🤣. I need a female pair.They are very sturdy, the stitching are intact. He has worn them on the beach, to a casual night out etc.

Have always prefered slide sandals over flip flop style, as in my opinion they are more comfortable. These Rockports feel great, appear to be be well made.

These things are actually almost perfect for me. They replace Vionics-brand slides I have been wearing, my final pair of the three pairs of this now discontinued item I bought now having given up the ghost. I specifically bought these and those because of the bold/broad cross band design. I like this design because I know from years of past experience that this design is excellent for all day, do anything, wear. (I know this because I literally climbed a mountain in Asia while wearing an foam rubber pair of this design years ago when I wore this style for everything, obviously).It is surprisingly difficult to find a pair like this that has the cross band design that doesn't also look like a pair of clown shoes emblazoned with trademark paraphernalia. Yes, this pair does have the Rockport symbol on its strap but it is mercifully small and unobtrusive.So, on style and design, this pair is right on point. The only other things one needs worry about is fit and wear. I admit to having reservations about the puffy, nylon foot bed. My fear was/is in two parts: A) the puffy bed would be slippery and not well-suited to long and hard use, including running or jogging. I am happy to report that I have made multiple extended walks amounting to miles of foot padding and these do work well for this application. They do not, however, run well causing one to have to scrunch one's toes to keep them in place. Having said that, I realize that most people do not buy these to go running in so I will table that complaint.B) I feared the slick nylon footbed would become sweaty and smelly from retained foot fluid and accumulated foot grime; many other slides and slippers having a rubbery or nylon foot bed that works as a solid surface. I am happy to report that these slides don't cause one to generate excessive foot sweat and they have remained remarkably fresh looking even as I use them more and more.I am very, very pleased with this pair of sandals and will definitely buy another pair when these wear out. Plus I recommend them to every one.

Haven’t worn rockport shoes in a long time since I’ve moved on to using custom inserts.But at home, these sandals give me excellent support for wearing around the house.

The sandals are too tight and dont stretch AND The wrong color sandal was sent in a box labeled as black. Amazon refused to give me my money back after I returned them in the same box they shipped them in!!!!!!!!!!

Received these and was anxious to try them on. Initial thought, after slipping them on, was wow! Are these comfortable and they are. the padding, the straps, everything made these sandals perfect. Just what I was looking for. I decided to wear them around the house for the day and quickly noticed some rubbing pressure building up on the inside of each heal. Adjusted the sandals and the issue was resolved for a moment then the rubbing returned and my heel was beginning to get sore. I removed the sandals to examine them closer in the area where the lower strap, strap that passes under the top strap, was attached to the foot bed in the rear. Discovered some stitching there that seemed just a smidge abrasive. Tried to smooth the area a bit and try the sandals again. No good. After a few minutes the rubbing on the heel continued. There was no way I would be able to wear these for five minutes let alone all day. Too bad too. They are extremely comfortable on your feet as long as you are not walking. If the stitching were buried in the foot bed material, or something softer were used to attach the strap then these would be super.While researching these sandals before purchase, I read a review where the reviewer mentioned the same scenario. I thought it had to be the way he was wearing the sandals. Nope.So I sent these back and will now busy myself in finding another pair.

Fit well although they are about a half size small until the leather relaxes. This is my 3rd pair as I literally live in them.
