"I bought a pair of these at a local DSW store. The shoes I had been wearing (my only pair) split while I was at work so I had to go and buy a pair of shoes that same evening. I finally settled on the Rockport Eureka. I don't recommend this shoe for two reasons. First and foremost, they make my feet hot and sweaty. Very unpleasant. Second, they look "frumpy" in my opinion. They don't look that way in the photos, but they do when you're wearing them. They seem to have become more frumpy looking as I've worn them. Don't know why. Comfort-wise, they are just slightly uncomfortable. I don't have a problem with the build quality though. They seem well made in that respect. That's the only reason I gave them 2 stars instead of 1."
