I’ll be honest—I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered these Rockport slingbacks. The burgundy color caught my eye immediately, but I’ve been burned before by shoes that look great online and feel awful in person. These arrived last Tuesday, and I’ve been wearing them almost daily since.

The Total Motion Adelyn design is surprisingly flexible right out of the box. I slipped the on for a full day of errands—grocery store, post office, even a quick coffee meetup—and my feet didn’t scream at me by 3 PM. That almost never happens with new shoes. I didn’t expect them to be this comfortable from day one, especially considering the price point.

What really won me over was how they handled my busy afternoon. While organizing my closet—with some G Herbo playing softly in the background—I realized I’d been on my feet for hours without that usual ache in my arches. The slingback strap stays put without digging in, and the sole has just enough cushion to make pavement-pounding tolerable. If you’re curious about trying them yourself, you can view product here.

They’re not going to replace my running shoes for long walks, but for everyday wear? Absolutely. It turned out better than I thought. Sometimes you find a pair that just works, and these burgundy slingbacks have become my go-to for days when I want to look put together without sacrificing comfort.
