Good value -
This model is comfortable from the moment it comes out of the box. There is no break-in period. The shoes are well constructed and designed. For the price, you could not ask for more.

The only dress shoe I'll ever buy -
This is THE classic business shoe. I don't care for wingtips -- I can't take the sole sticking way out. The lines of the Akron are so clean and conservative that they are stunning. I always buy a slightly larger shoe so I can put a thin Dr. Scholl's pad down inside the shoe. I can walk around all day in comfort. They changed the construction of the shoe a few years back, and there is a slight ridge in your instep. Maybe they added some padding to the heel, but they should have extended it all the way. I was able to get used to and comfortable with the new construction. I like to get 'wide' for comfort.

Great classic cap-toed shoe -
After the initial break-in period they are very comfortable. The cap toe breaks on a bad spot on my foot and rubbed a little the first day I wore them, but from that point on they were fine.

2nd pair -
I like these shoes so much I purchased a second pair after I could no longer "fix" the original pair. At roughly half the price of what I was paying for similar Florsheim shoes the Bostonian’s are quite the value. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable daily work shoe, business casual or business suit, you won't be disappointed. They do take a day or two to truly break-in in my opinion.

Met Tony Hsieh (CEO) at a conference, where he was presenting. He said to give the customer service and quality a try. Second pair of shoes I bought in a month. Shoes are very nice, professional and super comfortable. Very impressed by your company. Thanks.

Excellent -
I was looking for an inexpensive, yet nice looking dress shoe. This was perfect. True to size and was pretty comfortable out of the box and as always, arrived the day after ordering. Only worn a few times so far, but no troubles walking through Manhattan. Zappos has been nothing but excellent. By far the best customer support (actually called the manufacturer of another shoe I wanted to find out if/when the style would be available again. They offered, I didn't even have to ask!) and service.

Classic and classy -
You can't go wrong with this shoe. The cap toe makes all the difference in styling. Make sure you have exactly the right size. This shoe resoles well, so you will have it for decades to come and it will still be in style.

2.5 yrs -
I had my last pair of these shoes for 2.5 yrs and wore them most days to work. I am inside and outside on pavement throughout the day. These shoes held up very well to the abuse I put them through. I had the soles caped twice and had 3 heels put on them before they split out where the cap toe is at. They are comfortable as can be for long term wearing (10.5 hr shifts). I will keep buying these because they hold up well.

Very nice shoe -
When I first got my pair, I was sure it was too big for me, but I just make sure to tie these very tightly and it works fine, even though my toes must be almost an inch from the end. It doesn't hug my feet like my other Bostonians yet, but it may in the future. This is a very nice shoe.

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.

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.

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.
