 Very comfortable and well constructed December 31, 2008
I've purchased over a dozen pair of these shoes over the past decade. The fit very comfortably and are well constructed. I have always purchased the model MWT18. Rockport offers several models called "World Tour" and they are not all alike. These have a nice pebble finish. I believe the inferior models others found were not the MWT18. Many years ago, they came out with the World Tour 2000, which was far inferior. At that time, Macy's discontinued carrying the MWT18. My only complaint about these shoes is that they perform poorly on wet surfaces. Their light-weight Vibram(tm) sole doesn't grip to wet surfaces.
 Stiff December 20, 2008
While undoubtedly a fine shoe it is a little stiff for my taste. I'm not sure I will be able to wear it except occasionally. They make better ones at Rockport.
Not quite as good as I expected November 19, 2008
They are very good quality construction. They provide good support. The shoe fits well.
They are Superior in comfort to my "dress shoes" but not quite what I had expected from a "walking shoe". After upgrading the inserts, it became a very comfortable shoe but still did not offer the shock absorption expected. I would buy them again but my expectations are changed.
Rockport Shoes November 16, 2008
Rockport's are always as advertised. Comfortable and well constructed. They generally run wider than other shoe brands of the same width. Overall satisfied with the purchase.
Fits right, looks good - some shortcuts in quality November 13, 2008
I have worn Rockport walking shoes for years, but this is the first time I tried the World Tour Classic model. On the basis of other reviews I was concerned about the size -- some people think they're too big, some say they run small. Well, in my experience the fit was perfect.
This was important to me, because the other model I've been wearing (Prowalker) is in fact now running smaller than it used to. Weird. Based on comments from other users here, evidently there is some real inconsistency in Rockport's overall quality control since they moved production to Vietnam. So, maybe I just got lucky, who knows.
I have the Nubuck version of the shoe, and I suspect the material is more pliable than on other shoes made of so-called "tumbled leather." In any case, the shoes I received fit right out of the box. And, to my pleasant surprise, they still fit fine even after having custom orthotics inserted in place of the original footpad.
Ironically, I had the shoes for a day or so before I read the tag that had come with them. The tag bears the "American Podiatric Medial Association Seal of Acceptance" which is described on the Amazon product page. I don't know if that Seal means anything, but I will say that the shoes seem quite stable and give plenty of support.
The construction of the upper could be better, where the laces and tongue join with the front of the shoe. There's a very large, rough-edged piece of leather and stitching at that point, which could rub the top of a person's foot, especially if they have a very high arch.
It was strange and disconcerting to find that, because the rest of the shoe's interior is quite smooth. I thought it would be an issue for me, but luckily it has not been, and I've worn the shoes a couple of days with good results so far.
The chocolate nubuck is a good-looking color and design for casual or dress-down wear. All things considered, I think it was a good choice at the special sale price Amazon offered when I got mine. But I do not think I'd be nearly as happy if I'd paid $80 or $90 or whatever the "list" price is. Try to catch a sale if you can.
