Rockport Clothing Brand History

Saul and Bruce Katz founded Rockport in 1971 and sold the first Rockport shoes from the back of their camper van.

Rockport has always been one step ahead of the times. We believe that the perfect shoe has not been invented. It is this positive dissatisfaction that compels us to constantly improve upon our footwear. We are the first company to use advanced athletic technologies in casual shoes to achieve lightweight comfort, and the first company to engineer walking comfort in dress and casual shoes.

Rockport pioneered the relationship between performance and style that today’s consumers have come to expect. We stand out in a sea of sameness by reinventing and improving footwear – not just by painting it different colors.

Rockport has run the New York City Marathon, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, and sailed around the world. It is our enduring commitment to innovation and individuality that will continue to separate us from our competitors.
