Rockport Men's Darwyn Xband Slide

These things are actually almost perfect for me. They replace Vionics-brand slides I have been wearing, my final pair of the three pairs of this now discontinued item I bought now having given up the ghost. I specifically bought these and those because of the bold/broad cross band design. I like this design because I know from years of past experience that this design is excellent for all day, do anything, wear. (I know this because I literally climbed a mountain in Asia while wearing an foam rubber pair of this design years ago when I wore this style for everything, obviously).It is surprisingly difficult to find a pair like this that has the cross band design that doesn't also look like a pair of clown shoes emblazoned with trademark paraphernalia. Yes, this pair does have the Rockport symbol on its strap but it is mercifully small and unobtrusive.So, on style and design, this pair is right on point. The only other things one needs worry about is fit and wear. I admit to having reservations about the puffy, nylon foot bed. My fear was/is in two parts: A) the puffy bed would be slippery and not well-suited to long and hard use, including running or jogging. I am happy to report that I have made multiple extended walks amounting to miles of foot padding and these do work well for this application. They do not, however, run well causing one to have to scrunch one's toes to keep them in place. Having said that, I realize that most people do not buy these to go running in so I will table that complaint.B) I feared the slick nylon footbed would become sweaty and smelly from retained foot fluid and accumulated foot grime; many other slides and slippers having a rubbery or nylon foot bed that works as a solid surface. I am happy to report that these slides don't cause one to generate excessive foot sweat and they have remained remarkably fresh looking even as I use them more and more.I am very, very pleased with this pair of sandals and will definitely buy another pair when these wear out. Plus I recommend them to every one.

These sandals are exceedingly comfortable. Unlike most sandals of this type, I have no problem wearing these for short walks (mile or so) instead of just using them to shuffle around the yard or get the mail. The cushioning really makes these more comfortable than several pairs of my shoes. The straps hold the sandal well to my foot also.The only real downside here is the fit of the sandal. I got a size larger than normal and the fit was still very tight. When I received them, I thought I would have to return them. My toes were not close to the front of the sandal due to the tightness of the straps. However, wearing them a bit has allowed the straps to adjust and they are very comfortable to wear.

Litterally just opened the box, and one sandal looks used, has toe prints and grass and the other sandal looks new? What the heck??

Received these and was anxious to try them on. Initial thought, after slipping them on, was wow! Are these comfortable and they are. the padding, the straps, everything made these sandals perfect. Just what I was looking for. I decided to wear them around the house for the day and quickly noticed some rubbing pressure building up on the inside of each heal. Adjusted the sandals and the issue was resolved for a moment then the rubbing returned and my heel was beginning to get sore. I removed the sandals to examine them closer in the area where the lower strap, strap that passes under the top strap, was attached to the foot bed in the rear. Discovered some stitching there that seemed just a smidge abrasive. Tried to smooth the area a bit and try the sandals again. No good. After a few minutes the rubbing on the heel continued. There was no way I would be able to wear these for five minutes let alone all day. Too bad too. They are extremely comfortable on your feet as long as you are not walking. If the stitching were buried in the foot bed material, or something softer were used to attach the strap then these would be super.While researching these sandals before purchase, I read a review where the reviewer mentioned the same scenario. I thought it had to be the way he was wearing the sandals. Nope.So I sent these back and will now busy myself in finding another pair.

I have 2 pairs of these; one to wear barefoot in the summer, and one to wear with socks in the winter. Both have the same problem. The straps on the right shoe, (not the left), angle the foot so that the heel is hanging off on the inside rear of the sandal. No matter what I do, after a few steps, my foot on the right side is coming off of the shoe on the inside. I'm basically walking out of the shoe on the right side. I've worn sandals for years, but have never seen this problem. By the time that I realized the problem, it was too late to send them back. I would not buy them again, nor would I recommend them.

I'm coming from a Sandal that was all Leather with a rubber sole, unfortunately it's no longer made and it's replacement is currently unavailable. This is not leather lined but the material is very comfortable. I was surprised at first as the grip was slippery on the floor. That seems to be going away and the bottom is scuffing up and gaining grip. Not sure how long this type of sole will last so I held back 1 star for now.

I ended up buying two of these. Returning both. One set bigger than the other. For some reason these do not conform with my feet. With each pair my inside heels would be hanging off the side of the sandal about ½ inch. This is strange because I have an old set of Rockports very similar to these. My heel stays within the confines of the shoe with those.

I don't understand the design/business justification for shrinking the sole width of recent Rockport shoes. 70% percent of my sandals are Rockport/Clarks for years. I can't explain the stupidity by Rockport in shrinking the actual sizes of their shoes while maintaining the size labels. I guess I will need to explore other manufacturers now. Good riddance!

Very soft and comfortable on the feet, with a cushy sole (like memory foam). Went for a long walk as soon as I got them, and no blisters or discomfort to report. They look pretty well made, so I hope they last at least 3 years. (My previous pair lasted about that).

Bastante buenas sandalias, se ven muy casuales y son de buen material, me sorprendio el memory foam y lo bien que se sienten al usarlas, se ven bastante resistentes y tienen buenas costuras, todo es de cuero, solo la suela sintetica, en general bastante buenas.

These are the best sandals. I bought a pair in 2010, they just broke. So I expect another 8-9 years out of them.

Excellent...ship mentioned arrived on time...I am satisfied with the product. Impressed with Amazon online shopping. Will definitely buy in the future
