Rockport Men's Perth Loafer

Great quality, nice materials. My wife afraid it will be ugly, but it looks really great! Glad with purchase. Thank you.

These are wonderful shoes. Someone talked about how the sole pulled away. I had the same thing happen with mine...in 2003. They've changed the way the sole is connected to the shoe, and is no longer a problem. There's cushioning within the shoe that makes them very comfortable. I walk all day long, and definitely can tell the difference with these, compared other deck shoes I've had. I might mention that I do wear an A-width shoe. I purchased the B-width. I can wear them with comfort, but can slip them off without having to untie them. I can say they're true to size because I can take them off without untying them. If they were A-width, I'd have to untie them. That's not what I wanted. Really though, they absorb impact extremely well, and are comfortable all day long. I normally polish my shoes the day I receive them, to insure a barrier to water. I didn't with these, and they're doing great so far. I've literally worn them every working day since they've arrived and still love them. These are now my spring and summer shoes. My fall and winter shoes, just so you don't think I'm someone trying to sell for the company, is Russell Moccasin. I have them custom made, but they cost a crap load, and takes about nine months to receive your order. These, I received within a week. Great shoes, and well worth the less than one hundred dollars!

Having worn a number of Sperry and LL Bean boat shoes in the past, I can honestly say this is my new all-time favorite pair. I was looking for a pair of boat shoes with that classic look (not the modern, overdone ones like the Sperry Billfish), but with a comfortable sole that I can stand/walk all day in. To top it off, I have rather wide feet, so finding a perfect fit is never easy.These Perths have an incredibly comfortable sole with decent arch support. I can wear them at my standing desk all day and not feel flat-footed or sore in the heels after work, and can walk around town without feeling like I'm barefoot. The leather is of very good quality, and it took very little time to break them in, even going sockless my first time wearing them. I'm a true fan now, and will absolutely buy another pair once I wear these out -- which may be a long while, as they seem very sturdy and well constructed.

Probably my 10th pair over the years. The only thing that eventually wears is the sole, which begins to crack and allow moister in. Hope they never stop making this shoe. I wear them all over the world and find them durable and comfortable. They also make it in large, narrow sizes which is difficult to find.

Great shoes

Nice looking comfortable boat shoe. The suede leather is nice and will be appreciated by most customers. However, I had to return the shoe because the soft tongue would fold down on me when putting on the shoe. I’m handicapped and use a long Amazon shoe horn but can’t bend over far enough to reach and pull or hold the tongue.The Rockport Beeswax leather model is a heavy leather and poses no problems for me. It is about $35 more but so much more durable. I’ve worn mine hard over one year and they still look great. Love the fact that they have the narrow widths. The size is 12N and works for me. I’ve ordered a second pair of the heavier bees wax model. So, yes I do like that particular shoe.

Great shoes for casual wear.

I have been purchasing Sperry brand boat shoes exclusively for more than 20 years but, based Rockports reputation, I thought I would try these for the 2014 boating season. They have a good non-slip surface that should, based on the hardness and geometry of the sole, be as good as the Sperry non-slip sole. I am surprised to find that they will need a little break-in to get really comfortable. The Sperry brand has always been very comfortable right out of the box and just got better with age. These shoes feel a little smaller than what I expected for the size I ordered but I am assuming that they will get much more comfortable with some wear so I am keeping these rather than getting a larger size. Rockport makes high quality shoes and these are no exception. The stitching is of substantial thread size and well protected on the sole, the leather upper is flawless, the interior liner appears to be mostly leather, the laces are leather, the tong has some padding and the thickness of the sole provides cushion as well as having a good non-slip geometry.
