Review on Rockport Spruce Blucher Walking Shoes in Mustard: Style and Comfort for All-Day Adventures by Jacob Sriubas

I ordered a size 12 wide as other shoes I wear in a size 12 seem a bit narrow to me. I was expecting more room in the toes, which is what it was. However, the shoes were also wide with heels. I had to apply two different types of heel grips to take up the extra space. The laces are also terrible - too slippery. I had to rub them in beeswax and tie them in a double knot so they wouldn't come loose as I walked. It took about a week to walk 4 miles daily for the hot spots to go away and for the shoes to become comfortable. After two weeks of socks, the laces begin to tear due to sharp corners at the eyelets. The underside is quite thick and provides good cushioning. The outsole also seems to be quite durable.
