Rockport Men's Margin Oxford Customer Review
I wear orthotics. I have a hard time finding proper fitting shoes, since the orthotic raises the foot. You usually end up with cramped toes and your heel slipping out of your shoe. In my previous job, it was casual dress, and I wore ankle-height workboots (such as Timberlands). Roomy toes, and no worry about my heel slipping out.
In my current job, I now need to wear a suit...and dress shoes. Dress shoes tend to have pointed toes and a low back, worst possible combo with orthotics. But I'm happy to report that this shoe fits well...even though it's only marginally a dress shoe. First of all, it has a removable insole (not glued in), so you can take it out, and recover some inside room. Second, it has a square toe, which means less cramping. Third, the uppers are very soft. Even if the top of your foot is pressed against it, it doesn't chafe.
Didn't take any break-in at all...that of course will depend on your particular foot. The collar is lightly padded, not deeply cushioned like a running shoe...so it can pass as a dress shoe. The soles are flexible, non-slip rubber and will outlast leather soles. The soles do not have deep treads (running shoe or hiking boot style)...so it can pass as a dress shoe.
The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the quality of the linings. It's lined with cloth and vinyl. Given the relatively low price, that's OK. An older pair of Rockports I have (now discontinued) was all leather lined. I don't like to change shoes often, so I'd rather pay an extra for leather linings.
Won't garner any points for high fashion, but it's at least passable with a suit. On the clunky side, but the square toe sets it apart from steel-toed work oxfords. Some people wish for a higher-gloss shine. But the dull shine has a great advantage: scuff marks aren't as noticeable, and you don't need to shine them frequently. If you want good day-in/day-out comfort with orthotics, I highly recommend it. I wouldn't recommend buying them online though, unless you're buying exactly the same shoe model that you previously wore. With orthotics, the proper size varies a lot with the shape of the shoe and the pair of orthotics.
