They don't match other Rockport shoes I've had, they are loose in the heel and too tight in the toe box just above the bottom lace. It's not because they aren't wide enough, it's because the shoe is too low in that area. Also, thanks to the "waterproof" design, these shoes don't breathe at all and my feet get VERY hot from everyday walking; I couldn't imagine doing anything sporty or outdoor in it. They are also heavier than they look.
