It's been a long time since I've had Rockports, the only bladder I've ever had was a pair of Rockport Chukkas. I thought these would be good casual Friday loafers, but they're too casual for that - like they're not fully formed, they lack structure. Seems to be an odd product, almost like it's not entirely Rockport - are fakes good for shoes? Anyway, I only use them at home when I need shoes, for example to take the garbage can to the curb. I can't imagine ever wearing them in public.
