Overview:
These are a fantastic pair of vintage RocSports by Rockport moc-toe oxfords — the kind of substantial, well-built walking shoe that Rockport built its reputation on. Made in Portugal with a full-grain leather upper and a genuine Vibram Norflex outsole, these are a pre-athletic-revolution comfort classic. The cognac brown leather has developed a rich patina, and the soles show minimal wear — these clearly didn't see much use.
