Bostonian Reviews
This is the third pair of the same shoe I purchased. I have to agree with the sentiment of other buyers that the quality went down. I don't know whether it is due to the country of origin (Italy vs. India) but the latest pair does not feel as comfortable as the two before. This will be most likely my last Bostonian Tuscana.
Received shoes - but while tying heard rip and had to return. Only to find out out of my size - ugh! Easy return - reimbursement etc.
I love the comfort and classic styling of the Bostonian Tuscana. Great vibrant brown leather with beautiful toe cap. Awesome sturdy rubber sole and very nice padding. Classic and comfort, you can't beat it.
Gave these shoes in the burgundy color to my 88 year old father for Christmas. He used to love a similar looking shoe from Florsheim which is almost impossible to get anymore. He likes these shoes even better -- fit right away, no break in required, and they have a very lightweight sole.
This was the third pair of Bostonian Dennison shoes I have owned and the first I purchased via Zappos. The shoes looked and fit good. I am completely satisfied with the shoes and with Zappos.
Okay, so I'm reviewing these on behalf of my spouse who finds these are the only kidskin-lined, leather soled dress shoes that keep him comfortable throughout his 10 hour work days. (Yup, the four 10-hour days workweek has its drawbacks, but thanks to these shoes, hot, tired feet aren't one of them!)
The shoes were exactly as they looked, they ran true to size and the quality was excellent. Zappos delivered on time even during the Christmas madness. The ordering process was smooth and website easy to navigate. I have ordered before and will order again.
The perfect shoe, great with slacks and suits for work, and great with jeans. Very comfortable too.
I like them. Good Fit. Felt true to size for dress shoes. I highlight that because my dress shoes, slip on's are 1/2 size smaller then my gym shoes, etc. Buy the size dress shoe that you regularly wear.
I have been wearing these shoes for close to two decades. They have been offered under the names French Shriner and Florsheim, and now Bostonian. They are well constructed, long lasting and very light in weight. They are trim and attractive. They remind me of wearing comfortable slippers. The only negative is traction. You need to be careful when walking on very smooth or slippery surfaces.
Great shoe out of the box. No worries about breaking these in, they were so comfortable right from the start. Good casual business dress shoe.
Overall the shoes are a good quality. However, I was disappointed, because I expected to receive a factory sealed finished product. One shoe had a minor leather fuzz and the shoe box have seen better daysThe tissue paper was also torn. After all this was a gift item and I expected to receive something more pristine.
I bought a pair of these in brown for my boyfriend for Christmas 2010. He liked them so much that when his black shoes gave out, I got him another pair in black. These look nice with khakis or slacks for work. Professional but not too dressy. My BF says they're really comfy. He wears one of the two pairs every day and has no complaints.
Loved the shoe, but was disappointed in how quickly it wore out. In less than a year and a half it pretty much lost all of its arch support and the insoles detached. I walk a few miles in these every workday and they were comfortably snug while they lasted, but now they just cause back pain.
When I ordered I had read a review of the product. I was looking for a dress shoe made in the USA and Bostonian I thought was still USA made. So much to my surprise, but I am pleased with the shoe and its construction and the price was right on. Your service is 5 star.
Great Looking, very comfortable. The only thing is the loop on rear of shoe is a little large and catches your pants.
I purchased these to replace my prior Bostonian shoes. I have a particular foot in that the heel/tendon area must fit right and not be too low so as to allow for any slippage. Since I knew my prior shoes fit wonderfully I opted for the same size, style. From the moment I pulled them out of the box the shoes fit like a glove. They are comfortable and look good. They were slightly darker than I expected from the photo but that's not a problem at all. The only thing I will ding the shoe on is the feeling that my big toes on each shoe are sliding forward when I step. It's not enough to be a problem but the best I can do to describe it is that it feels as though the sole under my toe is missing (it's not by the way).
These are probably the most comfortable dress shoe I have ever purchased.
These are walking shoes so they are lightweight and the soles make no attempt to mimic that of higher end shoes. I ordered a 9W and although the shoes fit, the top of the shoes pinched down on my foot when walking and was uncomfortable. I have owned several pair of Bostonians and have been pleased with each. Unfortunately not this pair. I will be returning them.
My last pair of Bostonian's lasted me 7 years and believe me I put the miles on them. I just bought a great pair of Howes Bostonian shoes. Just one thing you need to know, they fit large so you will need to order or purchase a half size smaller. remember, just a half size not a full size. So get yourself a great pair of sophisticated and stylish shoes and enjoy.

Men trust Bostonian to give them the confidence they need. Whetherit's finishing off an everyday suit in style or going out on the town, men of all ages find what they're looking for at Bostonian.
