Washables: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rockport Machine-Washables Collection?

The Machine Washable collection by Rockport offers stylish casual footwear for men and women, developed using combinations of leather, nubuck and breathable mesh, providing shoes that are comfortable and look like new, no matter how many times you wash and wear them.

For its Machine Washables collection, Rockport utilises premium renewable leathers — a unique material that is resistant to water damage and helps prevent colour and texture loss when wet.

When was the Washables Collection first introduced?
Rockport first introduced machine washable footwear in 2005 with the launch of a nautical boat shoe collection. Now sold in nearly 70 countries, Rockport Washables has evolved into a diverse group of casual and sport casual styles for all seasons.

What is the inspiration behind the styling?

Rockport Machine Washable styles feature distinct modern casual style complemented with an array of popping colours and sporty silhouettes derived from global trends.

How do I care for my washable footwear?

Rockport Machine Washable footwear should be placed into a washing machine with liquid detergent (not bleach) in cold water using a gentle wash cycle. After wash, lay the footwear on a surface to air dry overnight. The footbeds can be washed separately in warm, soapy water and then air-dried.
