A Classic - Fall or Anytime - You can't go wrong with shoes in the Bostonian line - and this is no exception. You can spend a whole lot more money, but you won't get a whole lot more shoe.

Andover v. Akron- The Andover is a fine shoe, but it doesn't breathe as well as the Akron. The Andover has some sort of cushioned inner sole with non-leather materials inside and maybe some outer coating that diminishes the advantages of leather. However, I predict that the Andover will break in nicely over time. It has better support than the Akron.

Good shoe, but... Good shoe, but a bit harsh on the process to break in. Once you get there, though nice and comfy. Just a bear getting there. Nice and solid build. Real quality for the price. Dressier than I expected or the picture made me think. Not great for business casual apparel, too dressy and looks out of place. Much better for suit or dress slacks and shirt setup. All in all, damn nice shoe for dressy events.

Good Comfortable Shoe - The shoe is a good shoe but I have only one problem. It makes a lot of squeaky noise when I walk.

Check fit carefully before wearing - It is a nice looking, classic cap toe, with a little more rounded toe than some. Unfortunately, they did not fit me as well as I thought. I tried them on at home and everything seemed fine, but after a day at work, I could hardly walk in them. The height of the shoe under the outside ankle bone was too high. Ouch! Maybe a few more minutes around the house or trying them on at different times would have helped.

A good dress shoe - An overall good dress shoe, very formal in appearance. Goes well with a suit. About as comfortable as a traditional leather dress shoe gets. Very high shine and nicely finished leather. Not for everyday wear but perfect for "dress up" events.

Bostonian Andover- My shipment was sent promptly and overall I am very satisfied with my Bostonians and Zappos. The convenience of shopping on-line when searching for widths is unprecedented, efficient, and easy.

I will buy Bostonians for the rest of my life.... I am a first time buyer of Bostonians. I called because a hole was worn in the sole of the Andovers I bought. I called them up to ask what can be done, and with no questions asked, they said they'd send me a new pair. Didn’t even have to return the defective ones. As a new young professional, this is the type of customer service that establishes a lifetime of brand loyalty. I work at a powerhouse public relations firm, and I mean it when I say that I am so beyond impressed with this level of service that I see no reason why I wouldn't buy Bostonians for the next 20-30 years. The nuances of the shoes are meaningless to me...I’ve been treated like a valued customer, and because of this, will continue to purchase these simple yet stylish shoes for years and years to come. I don't care if this even gets put on the website. Read this in the corporate boardroom to the CEO's of the company and give a promotion to the person who implemented this company policy. I will buy Bostonians until my feet fall off.

Great dress shoe - For the money, this is a fantastic dress shoe. I would recommend the Andover to anyone looking for a traditional black shoe to be worn with suits or other formal attire. Comfortable, well made and nicely styled! I have been very pleased with my purchase.

Comfortable Shoe - It is a great shoe for a person with a wide foot. Best fitting wide shoe I have worn in a long time.

Bostonian Andover - This shoe is very comfortable and just what I needed for dressy occasions. However, the shoe was not quite as wide as some 4E's that I have purchased.

Bostonian Andover - Ordered these shoes after returning the Bostonian Akron. My husband loved them and can't say enough good things about them! Thanks Zappos - WE LOVE YOU!

Nice Shoe! I found these to be quite comfortable shoes for how dressy they are. They offer good support for the whole foot, which is good because I primarily bought them for ballroom and swing dancing. The leather sole was a definite selling point for me. Beyond performance and comfort, these also look great with a suit, esp. a zoot suit or a tuxedo! They are my first pair of Bostonians, but I don't think they'll be my last.

Good shoe overall - I found this shoe to be a good one for a wide foot and the design is good for business. My only concern after only a week of use is that it takes a bit of breaking in...Yet don't discourage you from buying since I think this is usual and will go away with use. It is a very good shoe overall.
