Spring is not just the season for renewal; it’s also a great opportunity to free ourselves of excess baggage that weigh us all down from time to time.

The Spring ’13 campaign for comfort-fashion footwear brand, Rockport embodies that sense of freedom quite perfectly.

Their “Lightness” campaign showcases how lightweight and flexible footwear allows consumers to Do More, Be More and Live More. The cornerstone of this campaign is a short documentary video that shows the brand’s commitment to sleek, metropolitan style and lightweight, all-day comfort—in a gravity-defying and captivating way:

Rockport believes in stylish shoes that allow you to move about freely through your day in lightweight comfort, allowing you to lead a more active life. Through constant research and development in the lightweight category, along with the fusion of sports technology and style, Rockport continues to be a true leader in this category.  It is their mission, to consistently drive research to bring some of the most lightweight shoes available to the market.

Set yourself free with Rockport shoes, and feel the difference for yourself!

We've always loved how Rockport manages to somehow bridge that proverbial gap between looking good and being comfortable—and this fall is certainly no exception!

For the guys, there’s the “Lite Series” featuring five collections for work and play:

Business Lite: office-appropriate with all-day comfort.

Rocsports Lite: business-casual to weekend.

Union Street: urban-inspired style blended with city comfort.

Ledge Hill: casual attitude, easy to dress up or down.

Eastern Standard: a hip, modern update to traditional styles.

One look at the impressive Rockport collaboration with Barbour, and it’s easy to see how the almost 118-year-old British clothing company inspired the very core of the collection’s design.   

There are three very cool styles in the collection: the Buckle Hi Boot, the Breaktrail Cap Toe and the Wing Tip. Rockport infuses their signature comfort into each shoe with adiPRENE® technology.

Another special feature of this collection is the CF Stead suede used. CF Stead is one of the most respected tanners of suede leather in the world, making these styles even more distinctive.

Rockport hosted a very “sweet” Fashion’s Night Out last Thursday at Dylan’s Candy Bar in New York City. There was candy, cocktails and of course, stylish and walkable Rockport shoes. A treat for the tastebuds and the feet!

Actress Olivia Munn made an appearance and celeb stylist (and Rockport Style Ambassador) Annabel Tollman gave out styling tips to the attendees.

There was also a candy shoe design contest for RISD’s Apparel Design students. Guests got to design their own cookie shoe and even purchase limited edition styles with Rockport/Dylan’s Candy Bar footbeds!

Typically, in order to wear stylish shoes to the office, one would have to sacrifice comfort for the sake of style. Well, imagine our relief when we laid eyes on Rockport’s latest fall collection. Gone are the days of having to pick between looking stylish and being able to walk at the end of the day!

From rich suede ankle boots to chic and modern penny loafers, we love the combination of classic good looks and all-day comfort that Rockport has managed to pack into each shoe. It’s all in the adiPRENE® technology built right in!

2. Grace Flat Bow Pumps: The chic and dainty bow adds feminine flair to this sensible wedge.

3. Mary Pumps: Its rounded toe and chunkier heel add to the vintage-inspired style of this fabulous basic.

4. Faye Ballet Flats: We could walk all day in these simple and versatile flats.

5. Juliet Pumps: These clean pumps are perfect for any board room meeting or cocktails with friends.

6. Jackie Penny Loafers: Traditional meets chic, these loafers are great for work or weekend.
