Customer Review

A little snug - I like the styling for a wide shoe. The leather is very soft. When I first tried it on I thought I was going to have to return the shoes as they were a little tight on the width, which was odd since they were already a wide width (are my feet getting wider?). After breaking them in for a couple of hours around the house, they became much more comfortable. I now wear them on a regular basis with no issue.

Good looking dress shoe - This shoe is built with the usual Rockport comfort and is the most comfortable shoe I could get away with wearing with a suit. Look good, too. I have these in two colors.

Fits well - I wear orthodics so I need a large (13) extra wide (EEEE or WW) shoe. I find that the best fitting and most comfortable shoes to get "off the rack" for me are Rockports with rubber soles. Unlike other brands, their sizing was consistent with other Rockports I have bought so I don't have to worry about sending a pair back because of size inconsistency.

Terrific shoes - I needed comfortable dress shoes. I went to several stores and tried many other brands and models, including Mephisto, Bruno Magli, Ecco, and other Rockport models. These were the only shoes that felt comfortable as soon as I put them on, and they have only gotten more comfortable as I have worn them. In fact, they feel more comfortable than my running shoes. Highly recommended.

I walk a lot, typically wearing a suit, sometimes in wet weather. So I was looking for a shoe that is comfortable, well padded, water-proof, and at least respectable looking. The Crowthorne seems to hit all four criteria. The soft top is very pliant. The sole is great for long walks on pavement.
