A really beautiful shoe, and very comfortable. I wish they were cheaper, though. Great with navy or grey suits, but I will say this: they are almost too formal for some settings, e.g., an academic conference or for teachers. Would be good for weddings, business people in interviews, lawyers, etc., but not for those of us who actually have to try to look a bit nerdy and less formal.

Cheap leather upper creased across the toe almost immediately. Within 6 months it was cracking and flaking despite never getting wet, wearing at most every other day, using cedar shoe trees when not wearing, and careful cleaning and shines every other week.Thin, cheap leather sole showed significant wear after a year, was worn through within 18 months. I see they are now using a plastic sole that looks like leather. No idea if that will last any longer, but be aware Bostonian no longer uses real leather soles. Toebox upper is too wide and loose relative to the sole. Felt like my foot was overhanging the sole, but the next size wider had too tight upper and ridiculously wide sole. I strongly recommend stretching your budget to around one hundred fifty dollars and getting something from Florsheim or Johnston & Murphy.

Great shoe, true to size. Had previously purchased the Akron from a brick and mortar. Found it a bit too narrow for my taste (although it was extremely comfortable). No blisters, no heel or ankle rubbing after the first day. Felt broken in almost immediately. I highly recommend this brand/style... and Zappos! was as great as ever with shipping and customer service.

I ordered these shoes for my father-in-law to wear to my daughter's commencement. Because he wears a narrow I went straight to Zappos and I found this shoe on the first try. He loved them and they fit perfectly. He was in them for 10 hours and said they were so comfortable and felt like he'd already broken them in. They looked so good, even better in real life. It was his first time shopping Zappos and he was so impressed with the way you could view the bottom of the shoe since he wanted leather soles. Also the speed of service, and of course his shoes. Thanks for saving the day! (We used over night shipping, that's how fast we needed them and you came through!) Thanks again!

This is my first pair of oxfords in a long time, and these Bostonian's are a comfortable pair. I normally wear a size 7, but tried these out in a 6.5 W (EE) and couldn't be more happy. Worn first to a wedding, they provided plenty of comfort.
