The shoe is a little tight in the toe area (but only in the left shoe...weird), but overall, I'm happy with them. They look great and they are a good value for leather soled shoes.

These are incredibly comfortable shoes. They might be the best value dress shoes out there for men!

Took a little while to break in, but these shoes are excellent. I have given them quite some abuse and they have held up well. Even after having almost worn through the sole, the shoe still looks great. I am buying my second pair of these and might buy a third pair as a backup. Felt true to size for a 15.

Great shoes! Bought these about a month ago and they've been a good fit for me. Stylish and comfortable enough to wear to the office. Shipping and ordering from Zappos was easy and will order again.

These shoes are absolutely amazing! I went to a wedding this weekend, and I received countless complements on these shoes. I will definitely keep buying Bostonian shoes in the future!

This is my third pair. The shoe looks more expensive than it is and is made from quality material. I work in a school and they do scuff pretty easy and are probably not meant for the wear and tear I put on them but I wish they were more comfortable inside.

Simple and classic black leather shoe. Comfortable for dinner or parties, but probably not healthy for daily use.

Solid dress shoe for the price. Goes well with a suit or just slacks. Like many new shoes it took a couple of weeks to loosen them up and make them feel as comfortable as my previous pair. They aren't there yet, but they are on their way. And of course, buying through Zappos.com saves so much time. Very satisfied.

Never ordered from Zappos before. The order process, free shipping and the product are more than enough to have me shopping here again and I have recommended the site to all my friends.

Excellent accompaniment to my Tux! Good leather heeled shoes for dancing. Flexible enough, yet not mushy. Laces stayed tied the entire evening.

I\'ve had these shoes for 2 years and have worn them to death (out dancing, out on long walks, to work, at formal events) and they still look almost new. And I find them to be basically as comfortable as sneakers. Great shoes!

What a great shoe! I have had the black Akron for over three years and it has been nothing but excellent. When it came time to buy a dress shoe to go with my navy and brown suits, this seemed like the perfect option. I've had it for a few weeks now and it has definitely lived up to my expectations!

At first open, they were a little stiff, but comfortable. After wearing them for 4 (10 hour) days the leather loosened and were more comfortable. It has been 3 weeks since I started wearing them, and they are by far my favorite shoes. I bought a black and burgundy pair and both are great! I can wear these all day without being uncomfortable. I walk or am standing for 95% of my day and they are comfortable for all 10 hours. I ordered the wide shoe and they fit perfectly. I will be buying more!

Well-made, perhaps one of Bostonian best value shoe. A very respectable dress shoe. I have purchased several pairs over the years. One of the few models that doesn't seem to change within the brand.
