Life can get really busy, and you need footwear that keeps up.

From daily commutes to meeting friends, from rushing to appointments to heading off on your next adventure, sometimes there’s hardly any time to stop and smell the roses.

Throughout the journey, your feet carry you through every activity, so it’s probably time to start thinking about treating them right!

In this blog, we’ll explain why Rockport is a game-changer when it comes to hacking the comfort code.

Technology That Sets Rockport Apart From The Rest

From its early conception, Rockport valued one thing above all: comfort that doesn’t compromise style.

For years, the brand has dedicated itself to developing technologies that support your feet throughout busy days. Today, we’ll delve into some of these features that make the Rockport collection stand out from the rest!

● Trutech

Our Trutech technology refers to the foam disk that is embedded in the heel area of the footbed. This absorbs shock as you walk.

Shock absorption is a crucial feature in walking shoes, as it reduces the impact forces that occur when your heel strikes the ground. This plays a role in supporting your joints, spine and reduces foot fatigue.

● Comfort Footbed

Our Comfort Footbeds comprise a layer of foam, topped with a layer of memory foam, and also feature a built-in Trutech heel.

This ensures that your soles have ample cushion throughout the day, while relieving pressure. Memory foam is prized for its ability to mould to your feet, allowing our footwear to properly contour and support your feet.

● Activ-Sole

The Activ-Sole refers to the soft, tactile, cushioned EVA midsole that provides comfort underfoot.

What’s unique about this feature is the lightweight cushioning it offers, all thanks to the EVA. While walking, you’ll also experience a slight rebound after each step, providing excellent energy return.

You could say that our shoes quite literally put a spring in your step!

● DMX Powered By Reebok

This technology refers to our unique underfoot air system that shifts air from your toe to your heel when you walk.

These air systems offer superior shock absorption, pressure distribution and a longer-lasting midsole cushion.

● Step Activated

Our firm curved counter piece, together with the stitched-down tongue, means you get to enjoy a hands-free experience when putting on your Rockports.

Gone are the days of worrying about adjusting the tongue or tramping down the collar. Simply slip on, and off you go - what could be better than that?

Comfort That Doesn’t Compromise Style

Let’s face it. Whenever we hear the term ‘comfortable shoes’, it’s easy to picture those clunky-looking, orthopaedic-recommended styles.

While we certainly aren’t bashing the benefits of these types of shoes, we also recognise the modern world we live in.

People still want to look good, whether it's a personal confidence booster or to capture the perfect outfit check for Instagram. In today’s world, fashion is a creative outlet for many individuals, so we would never ask you to give that up!

Enter the Rockport footwear collection: styles that are fantastic for foot health, but can still look great to wear to the office, and even your after-hours plans with friends.

And if you don’t believe that footwear can look this good while feeling like an absolute dream to walk in, then just take a look at Rockport's former executive, Tony Post. Back in 1990, he wanted to show the world just how comfortable our Rockport technology is, so he ran the NYC Marathon wearing our iconic DresSports.

If this initiative doesn’t scream comfort, then we don’t know what does!

Live Life In Motion & Dress The Part For Every Occasion

Truth be told, life is measured by the steps you take, and when you add a pair of Rockports to this mix, you’ll find that the journey is far more enjoyable.

If you aren’t already considering your foot health, then perhaps this is your sign to start treating your feet right. Because, whether you like it or not, comfort is key when it comes to footwear.

So, let’s take that first step and find a style that fits your aesthetic! From sneakers to loafers, boots to boat shoes - there is a pair of Rockports waiting to take you on the wildest journey we call life.
