I needed a pair of leather shoes last year so I went to a department store that had some Rockport styles. Compared to the other brands of dress shoes, the Rockports only weighed about 1/2. The shoes come with a soft full foot insole arch support. Since they are so light, dragging them around all day is a pleasure. Since we have less fat in our feet to cushion the shocks as we age, the cushioned insoles take away the pain. I used to be a cross-trainer wearer, but no more. The way the pair of Rockports I have are wearing, I won't need a new pair as often.
