Nice Shoes!
These shoes are very comfortable and they look great. If you are looking for a cap toed lace up, you will be hard pressed to find a better shoe. I like the fact that they are made in Italy.

Impressed with Bostonian -
After a short break in period, I was very impressed with Bostonian. It is comfortable for me for about 12 hours. I bought the shoe for the thick rubber sole, due to the Ohio weather. My Rockports that I bought before are great, but they had a leather sole. Not good in wet/cold weather for me. Since I bought these I have yet to get cold or wet in normal winter city walking.

Practical and Comfortable -
This is a great shoe - I wear a size 14, so comfort and fit are paramount. While the look is pretty basic, the fit and value make the difference.

Heavy but great fit -
The shoes were a lot heavier than I expected but when I put them on they felt great. They are a little less "dressy" than I thought. The arch support is excellent and I feel it as my previous shoes were not giving me support.

Disappointed -
I've been wearing these shoes for several days and have noticed two big problems.
First, after several hours, the insole is 50-75% soaked in sweat. And this is the dead of winter in Ohio, where temps have been ranging from 0-30 degrees F. The toe area especially gets soaked and makes these shoes very uncomfortable; it feels like my toes are rubbing around on sandpaper because of the change in texture of the insole. I am not a heavy sweater, but I probably sweat a bit more than the average man. Still, this problem should not exist.
Second, these shoes are conducive to building up static electricity. Since I started wearing these shoes, I have been getting shocked many times during the day.
Now to the positives: the shoes are decent looking, fit well, clean up easily and are built like a tank. They should hold up longer than the average dress shoe under daily wear conditions, which is why I bought them.
I am very happy with Zappos service and selection, but unfortunately am not happy with these Bostonians.

It is a good multi-use shoe -
I'm on my feet 9 hours a day. They held up well. At one year Still in good shape. I did need to replace the insole a week ago. I'm going to order the same thing. Very happy with it.

Built to last -
These shoes survived two years of dirt, mud, water, and walking 15+ miles a day on streets and roads made of rocks. If they got muddy/wet, I just cleaned them off and polished them up again and they kept on trucking. Of course under such conditions I did have to put new soles on them after about a year and a half, but the leather held up without getting holes or anything, even the laces lasted such brutal treatment. So if you plan on using these for "regular" white collar work, I'm sure they will last for a long, long time. They are comfortable, too, although I did get blisters on the backs of my feet, but then I was walking around in them for 10-12 hours a day.

Nice shoe, a little narrow in the toe -
When I first took these out of the box, I immediately tried them on. They felt really good and I loved the look. I left town and didn't wear them for about a week. When I returned, I wore the shoes the next day and they felt really tight around the front of my foot. Hopefully they'll stretch out with time because they are a very well-made, attractive shoe.

Disappointed -
I wanted to like these shoes more than I did. I find the uppers very handsome, and the all-leather lining was very nicely done - overall it seemed like a great value. They seemed a little narrow at first, and took some breaking in, but were very comfortable afterward.
But, after 6 months of weekday wear, the soles and heel are falling apart - all worn out and cracked through in several places. Granted, I weight 250 and walk 1.5 miles each day, but my previous everyday shoe lasted nearly 2 years. The uppers look brand-new without ever having been polished.
A decent shoe, but the sole/heel isn't up to snuff.

Great Entry Level Shoe -
I would suggest this shoe to anyone looking for their first real business casual black shoe. I have had the pair I own resoled twice now as it is very difficult to find shoes that are this comfortable, and at the price point it's really hard to match. My only gripe would be that once the sole begins to fall apart (it really would benefit from a solid rubber sole instead of the more orthopedically amenable one it comes with) You have to replace it but will find replacements do not attach as well as they would with non-rubber soled shoes.
Otherwise, a great purchase for any college students or young adults out for their first pair of really quality shoes, will never hurt your feet in these!

Fantastic buy!
I received this shoe in brown less than 24 hours after ordering. It felt perfect right out of the box! It looks mighty spiffy, shines up fairly decently, and is most certainly worth the coin to pick up. I'm planning on buying the black pair pretty soon.

Cheap shoe -
This shoe fits great, has good support and is comfortable, but the quality of the sole and interior of the shoe leaves something to be desired. The sole squeaks on tile floors and has developed a ridge down the middle of the left shoe from my clutch pedal. The interior of the toe area also is completely falling apart.
The shoe still looks great after 6 months and is still comfortable, but it's really falling apart. Other shoes in this price range that I've tried were much more durable, just as comfortable, and had better quality.

Classic Look, Comfortable, Great Value -
This is my 4th or 5th pair of Bostonians. It has a classic look with great comfort. I own both a brown and black pair. It pains me to throw away the ones I have worn out because they have been so good to my feet. I am glad that Bostonian keeps them in production. I'll be back in 15 months or so to buy another pair. I highly recommend this shoe.

Great Service - Nice Shoe -
This was my first experience with Zappos. I was very impressed. I placed the order at 11am. FedEx had by 1PM and I had the shoe the next morning. The shoes looked great and are comfortable. I would suggest treating them with some type of leather waterproofer or they will spot when they get wet.

Shoe does not breathe enough. My feet are staying hot all the time; I sell cars so I am on my feet all the time. Every time I go out in the sun they really cook. Other than that they are great.

Forgot I had them on...
OK, I'm a first time user and ordered these shoes somewhat skeptical of how they would be. I walk 20 minutes through NYC each day and comfort is of tantamount importance to me. I put these shoes on and all I can say is that after about an hour, I finally realized I was still walking around the house in them - they are that effortlessly comfortable! I did not find them the least bit heavy as some have said - they are truly one of the most comfortable pairs of dress/casual shoes I've ever worn outside of tennis shoes - really - I kid you not...I even tried to order the black pair immediately, but they were out of my size.

I used to buy the Bostonian Tuscana in my local retail store but they no longer carry the line. I like the shoes because it has the extra lining in the upper which makes you feet feel real comfortable. This is only one of few shoes I have not had to have a break in period. I can put them on and work all day and my feet are not sore or tired.

 |  | I want to let you know that I am a customer that GREATLY appreciates this extra bit of service! I have ordered these shoes for a wedding and am nervous they might not work with the dress. Having them sooner is, in this case, giving me the chance to order another pair if I need it. And because of this great service, I'm very positive about doing that with your company! So thank you VERY much! Eveline L. |  | ~ Eveline L., May 22 2008
