Rockport Men's Perth

You do not buy these kind of shoes for superior arch support. You buy them for comfort, casual wear. They are made extremely well and last forever. These are my second pair....but the first pair lasted me almost 10 years and I wore them a lot. I answered No" on the arch support question because its excellent for these kind of shoes, but its not a shoe (and no shoe like this, should be worn for arch support); but these are not the kind of shoes one should be buying for "good or excellent arch support"! Others may differ with my opinion.

I wear a 12 4E in New Balance tennis shoes. That being said I bought a blue pair in 12 2E and they are perfect when I wear them with no socks. I also bought a pair in brown at are a 12 3E, and they are a tad too wide, but I still like them..I can easily wear the 3E with thicker socks and be fine...the 3E is a tad loose with no socks, so I just lace them a little tighter. I think these are more comfortable than Topsiders. Much better quality for sure. You know how Topsiders have very flat soles...kind of like karate shoes? Not that thats bad, but these have just a little better support while still feeling like a boat shoe.

Terrific boat shoes. Very well made with a strudy counter and heel seat. These replace a pair of mephistos that I had for many years and are just as good at one third the price. Mephistos are now made in Turkey and are just not the same quality as they used to be. Funny thing; I went to a Rockport store and they did not have these. The sales person said that this model is a year and a half old and only on line. I bought another style at the store, and while they are nice, this style I purchased on Amazon is a better shoe. I am very happy with this purchase

These are a great pair of boat shoes. I previously had a pair of Rockports from years ago that I recently got rid of due to issues not related to wear and tear and knew that Id get another pair. They run a little larger than some shoes, so while I wear a 9 for some brands, Im an 8.5 for these. Knowing this, they fit perfectly. Since I have a bit of a wide foot, I untied them, put them on, and then retied them. Overall a nice fit, comfortable, and just as good on an hour long walk as they are just heading to the mailbox. For a casual summer shoe, I highly recommend these.

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 Im 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. Im 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.
