I have been loyal to the Bostonian brand for some time now due to the high quality shoes they make to fit my large, wide feet. Not only are these shoes comfortable and stylish they are also high quality. The leather on every pair I have ever owned has withstood the rain, sleet, snow and summer heat without issue. I am usually replacing/patching the sole before the shoes show any sign of wear.

Shoes fit great and wear well. That is, until 8 months in they develop an annoying squeak when walking. Not pleased.

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.

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.

Bought these for my boyfriend and without a doubt they are functional as well as fashionable. Beautiful color and nicely padded.
