Marathon tested. Business meeting approved. Rockport's DresSports weigh less than the average running shoe—and they were put to the test in two New York City Marathons to prove the shoes' comfort and durability. Not only does the full-grain leather look professional, it's easy to clean for long-term wear. On the performance side, Strobel® technology on the inside and flex grooves in the outsole provide forefoot flexibility to aid the walking motion. The collection's lightweight, slip-resistant rubber outsole delivers shock absorption while helping to reduce foot and leg fatigue, and moisture-absorbent, odor-resistant cushioning keeps feet dry and comfortable. Added comfort features include a padded tongue and collar to help protect from excessive rubbing and prevent blisters. We've redefined what a dress shoe can be: lighter than a running shoe, as versatile as a cross-trainer, tailored for your daily marathon.
