Rockport Men's Darwyn Quarter Strap Platform Slide Sandal

I tried on quite a number of sandals in my local stores. These were the most comfortable and affordable that I found. I have worn Dockers sandals in the last few years, but they have always fallen apart (especially the foot bed and the sole getting cracked) rather quickly. These Rockports seemed of a higher quality. I found a lower price on Amazon and bought them. So far, I absolutely love them. Super comfortable right from the start. I like the real leather that doesn't have that plastic look.As for long term quality, I'll have to report back later this summer.Additional note (8/6/19) - I've now worn these sandals every day since I received them. I work at home so I wear them all day every day. They almost look new! The foot bed of the sandal is probably the best made foot bed I've ever had. Other sandals always show wear, tear and holes in the foot bed, but not these Rockports. They stand up to the punishment my toes and feet offer. The soles of the sandals also seem built to last as they haven't cracked or worn down very much.Everybody's feet are different so comfort may be good for one person and not good for another. For me, though, these are most likely the most comfortable sandals that I've worn in the last 40 years. They fit so well that my foot doesn't slip and slide inside the sandal which helps slow down wear and makes them comfortable all day long. I don't find any areas where it feels as if something is poking me, is too tight or is too loose. The overall support is just perfect.I feel like these sandals may last for two seasons if not three. Still, I might buy another pair to put away for the day that these super-sandals wear out.Additional note (8/3/22) - The verdict is in: Rockport Men's Darwyn Quarter Strap Sandal is the GOAT sandal. I'm now on year 4 with these sandals and they're still going great. They look almost as good as the first time I wore them and I wear sandals every day for about 5 months out of the year. I finally noticed a small worn spot on the footbed caused by one of my toes. I fully expect to wear them for the remainder of the summer, but I ordered a new pair for next year when the worn spot becomes a hole. Incredible!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Looks, comfort, and price. I’m already wearing them and they are very comfortable. All of Rockports shoes are great.

The Rockport sandals need a little more tie to break-in but they do have a nice under the foot feel with a nice pad. The straps work well and don't slip when walking. The overall design is very nice with quality construction.

I've had these for a while and they are very comfortable and have good arch support.

Great sandals, sad my local store closed, but glad I can still get these great sandals, comfortable and easy to wear. Last about two years before I had to buy another pair. But more has to do with my wear and feet than anything else. So no complaints, good support and help with pains from walking bare foot in the house, wear these instead and good to go.

Very very stiff not like old ones we bought last year… seems cheaper made… It took my husband a while to break in

Perfect fit. Very comfortable and they look great!

I would buy this product again.
