Really love these boots. They are a little looser and scrunchier than how they appear on the picture. Since the boot is so loose, it's easy to tuck your jeans and it actually looks very flattering (makes your legs looks skinny!). Towards the bottom buckle, the shaft gets a little scrunched. If you are looking for a more structured boot, this isn't right for you. I like the fact that there is a 1 inch heel; it gives me a little extra lift without feeling like I am trying too hard or towering over people. The boots are not too "Cowboy", but are overall pretty casual/comfy looking. I'm very happy with them!

Awesome boots. Really comfortable. The calf is really wide; if you have thin calves, they won't work. First I bought the sandy color, love, but my really dark blue jeans rubbed off on them. I know I'll destroy them within a few wears, so I ordered the black, too. They will hold up a lot better. Worth the money

Love these boots! The leather is so soft and creamy! I love the color (desert) because it's really versatile; I've worn them with both black and brown. I love how the soft leather scrunches down. As another review said, the wide shaft is really flattering on my legs. I have pretty skinny calves (not bone-skinny but definitely not large) and I think the width of the leg is perfect with skinny jeans. I haven't tried them with leggings yet, but if I had to guess, they'll look fabulous with them, too! By far my favorite boot I've bought this season. Tres chic!

Nice boots, leather is really soft. Received many compliments since wearing them. They scrunch down, too! I would buy grips for the soles though, they can be slippery!

Comfort and Style...but where's the Durability? They are very comfortable, and look wonderful; although they may appear a bit small, which can also be said for the fit [it's about half a size smaller than marked]. With glamour comes horror, as these shoes have some of the worst durability imaginable. The day I bought them was the day I needed to wear them, sounds simple, aye? I wore them the whole night (with no real active movement apart from casual walking) and when I came home the top-front part of the shoe was completely crinkled! Horrible.

Comfortable and affordable - Very nice shoe. Exactly the same as the Florsheim Riva but much less expensive. Comfortable out of the box. I haven't worn them enough to know about durability, but so far, so good!

Comfortable but lasts about 3 weeks - No joke these shoes are really nice and comfortable. It really is like wearing slippers. But within a week the leather on the front was starting to peel off, within 3 weeks, the tread was virtually gone. I would not purchase these shoes again because they only last 3 weeks.

Comfortable walking shoe! I travel a lot and hate carrying multiple shoes and have found myself walking great distances in these Bostonian Prescott. Very comfortable ... in fact, I prefer them to gym shoes.

Best dress/walking shoe I've ever owned - This shoe looks great and is supposed to be a dress shoe but for walking, I prefer it to a tennis shoe ... it's that comfortable.

Feel like slippers - Usually I wear NB or Rockport walkers to the office but was looking for a loafer to ease travel through airports. 1st try were Rockport Grand Falls which were horribly stiff & clunky & gave me a heel blister. Then Florsheim Rivas which were great except 1/2 size too big and unavailable in B width the next size down. Got these today & they feel true to size (9B) and so soft they're like slippers. The front sole on both shoes seems to flap a little when walking but both shoes are identical & it looks like they're designed this way, hope they hold up. Arch support could be a little better.

Dad's Shoes - My dad has a hard time finding shoes in his size, 7EEE. I was glad I was able to find your website and order shoes for my dad. The free shipping was great, too, and I was able to have the shoes go directly to him in Las Vegas. I understand he wears the moccasins every day. Thanks!

Excellent Shoe - This shoe is a true find, I wear B width and these are perfect. They are very comfortable and stay that way through the entire day. Looks are good and they serve well as a business shoe, and you should believe the other reviews which say these shoes feel like tennis shoes. The only drawback is that they do not last quite as long as I would like but that is a small price to pay for a perfect fit and excellent comfort. I will continue to buy this shoe. Zappos has been nothing but excellent, no problems at all and excellent service.
