Rockport Shoes

Father and son team Saul and Bruce Katz founded Rockport in 1971. The main focus was to utilize advanced shoe making technologies and materials in the creation of traditional shoe styles, in order to increase lightweight comfort. The concept is quite simple, but the fact is that Rockport was the first company to focus on the desire to encourage walking. In 1985, Rockport created the ProWalker, which was the first biomechanical design for a fitness walking shoe. After being acquired by Reebok in 1986, Rockport saw further success when the company began selling Rockport shoes internationally in 1987. Today, Rockport shoes can be purchased in over 30 countries. The company introduced another major innovation in 1989 with the women's Walking Pump. The same year, Rockport's first boat shoe was also released. The XCS Extreme Conditions System was introduced by Rockport in 1990. The collection includes a variety of casual shoes, sandals, boots and oxfords that can easily perform on all kinds of outdoor terrain. Throughout the rest of the '90s, Rockport continued to release innovative lines, with the main purpose of providing stylish comfort. Today, consumers can find a wide range of Rockport shoes to meet almost any demand for comfort, style and performance. Rockport features a wide variety of men's and women's shoes at very affordable prices. So, whether you are an athlete or simply want a comfortable shoe, check out what Rockport shoes have to offer.
