Rockport’s Latest: adiPRENE by adidas Technology
Did you know that Rockport was the first company to use advanced materials and technologies in traditional shoes to create lightweight comfort? But that wasn’t this father-and-son company’s only first. They were also the first to engineer walking comfort in all types of dress and casual shoes, which created more options than just the sneaker for foot relief. All of this was and still is possible through the use of their cutting-edge engineers, designers, components and technologies.
Amongst the latest technology being used is adiPRENE by adidas. It was invented by adidas to provide their athletes with the ultimate in comfort and agility. Now, for those of you who want to experience sneaker-like comfort in all of your dress shoes, adiPRENE technology can be found in many great pairs of Rockports! This innovation works because of a two-part attack: adiPRENE absorbs the shock of each step in your heel, while its counterpart adiPRENE+ pushes up on the ball of your foot, working together to deliver a more comfortable walk, and to create a light spring in your step. For you, the benefits are endless: increased comfort, long wear, and durability all in one shoe.
Experience Rockport’s comfort today with a pair of adiPRENE shoes, and see what some of our customers are saying!
Women’s Styles
Rockport Comfort Craving Spring Park
If you’re looking for a pair of lightweight, summer heels that “look great and are comfortable”, then Spring Park may be the style for you. The soft knitted fabric is cool and durable, while the rubber bottom provides traction and support for all day wear.
Rockport Emily Ankle Wrap
One customer, Erin, raved that “The footbed is so comfortable. They are adorable on your feet. They look great with shorts, skirts, and jeans.” Indeed, the Emily Ankle Wrap provides colorful, youthful style to any outfit, all with the durability and cushioning that adults want and need.
Rockport Emily T-Strap
This is not your average wedge heel! The Emily will keep you up-to-date with the latest trends, while featuring an easy-to clean leather upper, rubber sole for durable grip, latex foam to cushion the foot, and an adjustable t-strap for great adjustability. Strut your stuff with stability and comfort!
Rockport Bonneau Blvd
This classic loafer is part of Rockport’s Function First Collection. But after function definitely comes comfort, with its jersey lining, EVA midsoles and footbeds, and of course the adiPRENE technology for extra cushioning. “I like the professional look of this shoe. But most of all, I like the feel of the shoe. It is comfortable all day. I never want to go back to uncomfortable shoes again.” – Donnamarie
Men’s Styles
Rockport Marovey
8 hours at work is nothing in these oxford style shoes! All the features ensure a comfortable feel around your foot all day, from the padded collar and tongue to the soft California construction. As one of our buyers simply puts it, “This is a comfortable, light-weight shoe.” And that’s all you need sometimes.
Rockport Neher Ridge
If you think just any sneaker is comfortable now, you need to try one with adiPRENE and EVA midsoles like the Neher Ridge. This walking shoe will withstand miles due to its durable rubber outsole and TPU heel stabilizer for additional support. What’s the recommendation from an owner of this pick? “Buy this shoe. Your feet will love you at the end of the day.” – Jim
Rockport Milark
The Milark is a classic oxford that will add style to any formal ensemble, yet finding a dress shoe with sneaker-like comfort that you will “love to wear to work” is anything but classic!
Rockport Mornos
This men’s dress shoe offers a stylish look and a comfortable fit, making it the perfect shoe to keep you happy at work. Crafted using full-grain leather and a California construction, the Mornos was given a soft touch.

I like the looks of the Neher Ridge sneaker. I’ve had several pairs of Rockports in my closet (including two right now), and I expect these to perform to the same high standard.

I found a decent pair prowalker’s that looked sporty and causal. Also I look forward to purchasing a pair of white oxfords, too.
