Rockport Shoes

For a shoe that sells in over 30 countries to countless satisfied customers, it might take you by surprise that Rockports were originally sold out of the back of a van. Father and son Saul and Bruse Katz founded Rockport in 1971 in an effort to make a lighter, more comfortable walking shoe using advanced materials and modern technology. Not long after, Rockport expanded its technical expertise to all types of footwear: walking, hiking, boat shoes, dress, dress casual and slip-ons.

Today, the company employs a network of engineers and designers whose dedication to creating top-performing men’s shoes that provide unparalleled comfort and versatile styling has left customers raving.

Rockport shoes have always been one step ahead of the times. We believe that the perfect shoe has not been invented. It is this positive dissatisfaction that compels us to constantly improve upon our footwear. We are the first company to use advanced athletic technologies in casual shoes to achieve lightweight comfort, and the first company to engineer walking comfort in dress and casual shoes.

Rockport pioneered the relationship between performance and style that today’s consumers have come to expect. We stand out in a sea of sameness by reinventing and improving footwear - not just by painting it different colors.

Rockport has run the New York City Marathon, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, and sailed around the world. It is our enduring commitment to innovation and individuality that will continue to separate us from our competitors. Rockport shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes you'll find out there!
