Just got these today and still on the fence. The
sole does indeed, as one reviewer said, feel like "walking on marshmallows." Unfortunately, it also takes up most of the
shoe's interior height -- probably why people have been complaining that it feels too small or rubs. I'm wondering how much the sole's going to flatten down. I took out the
sole, shoe height is perfect, but the length is the other extreme -- I ordered a 7.5 W (don't have super wide feet, but definitely not narrow) based on reviews, which is at the small
end of my fit span, and it's a bit long. So, without the
sole, a bit floppy. With the
sole, not enough height for the foot. Very complex shoe fit. Pluses, it's actually really cute. I've always associated
Rockport with Grandmas, but faced with three weeks walking vacation I need something comfortable. These don't look like I'm in my Grandma's
shoes, or a nurse, or in
Crocs. I'm going to wear them around the house a bit and see how they feel.
