Rockport Shoes files for bankruptcy protection

Rockport is stumbling into bankruptcy, with the shoe maker saying Monday that it is filing for Chapter 11 protection. Newton, Massachusetts-based Rockport Group will sell its assets to private equity group Charlesbank under a bankruptcy plan as the shoemaker struggles to compete in a tougher retail market. Charlesbank will serve as the "stalking horse bidder" in a court-supervised sale process. That allows the company to accept other buyout offers Rockport, whose brands include Aravon, Dunham and Rockport, said it will maintain operations through the sale process, but the company is seeking court authorization to close retail stores that are not acquired by Charlesbank or a potential other buyer. It plans to focus on its wholesale, independent and e-commerce sales.
These were the shiz when I was a teenager.

I thought the point of hell was that it was terribly uncomfortable.

Rockports were probably better shoes but Eastlands were where it was at back in the day

Rick port was mid grade quality but were pretty comfortable. They just weren’t very stylish.
ETA: my grandma wore rockports almost exclusively, I believe

My father died 5 years ago so as their best customer I saw this coming.
In the last year of his life-as he had begun hiding his own Easter eggs I remember talking to my mother nightly and she would say “another god damn box of shoes showed up today. The Salvation Army truck isn’t big enough to haul all of these damn things off.”
He bought a lot of guns that year too that I benefited from so I never complained.
