Known the world over for incorporating athletic technology into ordinary casual shoes, the Rockport company was founded in 1971. Rockport shoes are known their slip-resistant soles, as well as weather-resistant uppers. The company, headquartered in Massachusetts, is owned by Adidas today – but still maintains its independence by producing a solid selection of sensible shoes for men, women and children.
Arguably, Rockport’s most famous footwear collection is the ProWalker series. Rockport shoes include a variety of technological elements to provide wearers with the comfort and support that makes wearing the shoes a pleasure. Some of these innovations include Rockport’s: DMX technology, featuring moving air cushions in the sole that reduce the impact of walking; Walk Dry surfaces, keeping water out but letting air move freely; Vibram soles, which provide flexibility and stability; and, XCS, which provides protection from damage when shoes are worn for outdoor activities.
