While I liked the color and roomy fit, I'm not at all happy with the length of the tongue. It is too short and requires excessive strength and grip to pull out and reattach the short tongue to tie the laces after putting on the shoes. After wearing them all day, my ankles were chafed on the sides. I have worn Rockport shoes for most of my adult life but they have been a total disappointment. I don't recommend them at all. Needless to say - I sent them back.
