Love the shoe and not the strings -
I have had these shoes for less than and month and the shoestrings have nearly disintegrated. I am very disappointed that the quality of the shoestrings does not match the shoe.

Great Casual/Dress Shoe -
I hate brown shoes, but these look fantastic in brown and have the comfort to match. They are adequately padded all around and have a nice cut for good sizing. The bottoms are plush but not so soft as to feel like you're walking on a sponge, and the back and sides are soft in the right places.

Out of the box the shoes were somewhat uncomfortable. After wearing them for about a week, the leather began to relax a bit and the shoe became very comfortable. I am very pleased with my purchase!

Extremely comfortable -
I don't wear dress shoes often, but I could see myself wearing these almost daily. Very comfortable--I can walk for miles in them.

A good shoe.
The leather is not pretty nor does it exude quality. It may even look slightly cheesy in a "is that vinyl?" way. But this shoe is super comfy! The padded inner sole and rubber outer sole make this a shoe your feet will love. Life is full of compromises that work.

Great shoe for a great price. Sizes are very true. Quite comfortable for a nice looking dress shoe. I wear them with dress slacks and even with suits.

Not quite great, but almost -
The look of the heel sole from the side cheapens the overall quality look of the shoe. The shoes are very comfortable.

I love my new shoes! The fit and style are great, and they are very comfortable, right out of the box. I will buy more Bostonians in the future.

I ordered one pair in black, the other in brown. They are the most comfortable shoes I have found and easy to keep looking sharp! Concerning Zappoa.com, this is the best company I have dealt with. I called customer service first before ordering on line and I received the best service ever. I would recommend Zappos to anyone!

I was so pleased with the price, style, and comfort of these shoes that I purchased two pair: tan and black. These are very good shoes.

Very nice looking and didn’t scuff at all with all the dancing at the wedding. Although big, didn’t make his feet look gigantic.

The shoe looks good and is well made. Shoe comfort is only fair compared to past shoes I have owned. Overall this is a good purchase.

So far, not bad...
I've had this shoe about a week, and after a short break in, they feel quite good. My one complaint is that the insole on the right shoe has developed a "click" type noise when I walk a certain way. I believe it's the glue that binds it to the rest of the shoe that has come slightly loose in the middle, and the sound is the insole pulling away from what it's attached to as my weight is taken from it. I'm hoping with more wear that the sound goes away.

 |  | I just wanted to write and say "Thank You" for the phenomenal customer service I received recently. I am a long time customer of Zappos (since 2003) and have always relied on you for your great selection of wide shoes. I take a medication that causes my feet to swell, so buying shoes can be rough for me. Your free shipping both ways and no hassle return policy lets me order several pairs to try on and I just send back the ones that don't fit. Fortunately, I live in Florida, so I can get away with sandals most of the time. Finding closed in shoes is something of a nightmare for me. Recently, my aunt passed away and I was determined to attend the funeral in appropriate shoes (not sandals). I contacted Zappos customer service regarding my shoe order of three black slip ons and advised them that I needed the shoes quickly as the funeral was in just a few days. To assist me in getting the right shoes on time, they upgraded my order to overnight shipping at no extra charge to me. After trying on the shoes, I needed a size change and they sent out the new size overnight and processed the exchange without even having gotten the original shoes back yet. They just trusted me to send them (which I did). By the next day I had the perfect shoes for the occasion and they fit. All thanks to Zappos. The next day there was a knock at my door and to my surprise it was our local florist. She had a basket of flowers for me. I assumed they had to do with condolences regarding my aunt's death and thought they must be from a friend. Well, they were from a friend, but not the kind I thought. The flowers were indeed in sympathy for my loss, but the card said they were from Zappos. I couldn't believe it. I was just dumb-struck that an internet company would care so much. I told all of my friends about this and everyone just says "Wow". I have worked for Walt Disney World for many years and I know a thing or two about customer service, but Zappos beats anything I have ever seen. Thanks Zappos.
