Men's Rockport Shoes

Rockport, founded in 1971, is 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.

Kilimanjaro, and sailed around the world to show our consumers our enduring commitment to continued innovation.

Rockport’s innovations in technology include DMX, Walk Dry, XCS and the Vibram Sole. DMX technology are seen as the slight bulges that are massage-like in quality featuring cushions of moving air in the sole of the shoe, while the Walk Dry technology provides water-resistant surfaces and are easy to wipe clean of any dirt and assorted stains.
