The shopping experience with Zappos was superb. The shoes are just what I ordered and they arrived even earlier than expected.

A very nice dress shoe - comfortable, stylish without looking like it's trying too hard.

He likes it!
I bought these for my husband to replace some Cole Haan shoes he'd worn out. They are nearly as nice at half the price. Very comfortable and great looking.

A classic.
This is it. Every man should have this shoe in their collection. This no-nonsense shoe is a solid foundation for a sharp look.

Good overall shoe -
This was a similar shoe to one from Bostonian that I have worn for year, through several re-soleings. This shoe looks good, but the leather seems just a bit thinner than the older shoe (was a more expensive shoe). Despite this, after about a week of wearing it is quite comfortable.

Great shoe, comfortable -
My husband loved these. We find it difficult to fit his small 6 1/2 size foot. They were comfortable, satisfied his fashion sense and were a great price. We'll definitely buy them again.

Bostonian Akron -
This is a great shoe. I wear this dress shoe more than I do any other. It is very comfortable and stylish. I have one in burgundy and it looks great. The leather sole is very nice and wears long. The shine is very good and wipes clean. The only complaint that I have is that the shoe seems to squeak a little at first, but fades away as you wear the shoe. If you buy this shoe you won't be disappointed.

Every day business shoe -
This is my third pair of this particular style Bostonian shoe. I have a wide foot and it is available in a comfortable fit. It is dressy without being too "heavy" looking and stodgy. I wear it every day for work.

A must have business style shoe.
I am 6'5" and 250. Big wide feet have made it practically impossible to find dress shoes at any physical department store. Zappos product line has opened my options at least ten-fold. These shoes were some of the first that were cut full and true to size. Many others say they are 14 WWW but are still snug. Not these, they fit just fine and broke-in in just a couple short wearings. A classic that will last for quite some time. I will and have bought again form Zappos.

Happy Feet -
Bostonian is by far the best shoe I have ever worn! They are extremely comfortable. I can wear my pair all day long and my feet are not sore at the end of the day. This is my second pair of the same style, I decided to get a different color I liked them so much.

Great Shoe For The Price -
I have had a pair of Bostonians before and needed to get another pair. These are great shoes, esp. for the price here. I had them broken in and comfortable in less than one day.

It's alright.
I bought the same type shoe about six(?) months ago and when I compared this one to my prior purchase, it seems like this one is cheaper quality. The top is nice but the leather sole seems cheaper; not as hard leather as it should be...

Bostonian Akron -- comfortable from the start -
Excellent shoe. I was anticipating that dreaded several day break-in period where your feet hurt and your new shoes were stiff and uncomfortable, but that never happened. The first day I wore these, it felt like I had been wearing them for months. Comfortable from the start. And as usual, Zappos got the shoes to me overnight. Excellent shoes, excellent service!

This shoe is high quality and broke in really quickly. I am very happy that I bought this Bostonian shoe. I am also happy using Zappos since I have a difficult time finding shoes in my size. Instead of running to 10 different stores, I found a great shoe in my size without leaving the house!

Great Shoe -
This shoe was ordered as a replacement for a Stacy Adams shoe that I have been wearing for a long time. I am pleased with the look and feel of the shoe. They did require a little breaking in but it wasn't too uncomfortable a time. I teach dance and need a good comfortable shoe that has a smooth leather sole. I would recommend this shoe.

My trusted dress shoes -
I have bought this particular dress shoe three times during my working career. Wearing them every work day they last about two years. I have always been very happy with them. This was the first time I ordered them from Zappos.com. I ordered them just before midnight on a Wednesday, and they were delivered the next day at 1pm. Fastest delivery time I have ever seen and the Zappos.com warehouse they shipped from is over 400 miles away from my house. Highly recommend Zappos.com for great and quick service. I have found that a good fit is a half size smaller than I wear in athletic shoes.

Decent shoe, could be less expensive -
This shoe looks great in the photo, but once you see it up close, it's disappointing. The shoe seems to be well made, but it is fairly dull and applying shoe polish and buffing does not seem to make much of a difference. The soft leather scratches easily, so expect to buff these shoes regularly, even after fairly sedentary office activity. It's too soon to tell how durable they are, but I take care of my shoes and I expect that they will last a long time. I'm curious to see what others say.

Excellent Service -
Excellent Service. Ordered and they were delivered the next day, not even 24 hours later.
Good fit. Good looking, in my opinion. The only reason I am giving the comfort 4 stars in lieu of 5 is probably due to my decision to order a D instead of wide. Still waiting for them to stretch a bit. They are getting there, though.
