Great shoe -shopping for my 2nd pair. The most comfortable, real dress shoe I've worn. After more than two years of daily wear, I tried having mine re-soled, but it didn't work -the flexible sole is the key. 'Off to find my next pair online; the store here is out of my size...

Great shoe. This will be my 3rd pair. Great looking shoe, shines good, light, flexible, very comfortable for walking long distances in airports.

They look great, don't they? I've had these pair of shoes for almost two months and they're really great looking. But, after a whole day of wearing them, my feet ache.

Look good - too long for break-in. I'm pleased with the look - they shine well, and I've received compliments. Unfortunately, I thought they would be like other Bostonians I've purchased and break in quickly. I made the mistake of wearing them on a trip and raised blisters on my heels. Now that I've worn them consistently for six weeks, they are broken in and comfortable.

Excellent shoes. My first pair is 18 months old. I sent my wife looking on the Internet and she found them in less than a minute. Got the first pair from J. C. Penneys, but they no longer carry them in the catalog. Glad to find them now!!

These shoes look great! However, after wearing them to work for several days my feet are killing me. 'Can't wait to get them off! They're not for anyone who has to be on their feet all day. Maybe for meetings or church.
