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...

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.

Zappos - I stopped ordering on-line in 1994 due to never receiving the coreect order, product or size in the time frame stated. I was completely surprised to see the order I placed with you on Sunday delivered Tues., with no additional charges for shipping, and to actually have the products I ordered fit. Thank you. I will recommend you to all my clintele and associates.
Brands I'd also recommend: They can pick whatever they want, I recommend the whole web-site

First Pair of Bostonian's - I have trouble getting a narrow in dress shoes. I have worn Florshein s for years and have a number od them now. When they fit they are generally good. The past month I tried two pairs and both were too wide. These Bostonian Akrons fit true in size and width(Narrow). Great looking shoe. Had good leather and shine. I will try others I am sure. Zappos has the best service of any company I have done business with. Just two weeks ago I sent a pair of shoes back to Nordstroms. Their service was not even close to Zappos. Keep up the good work. A satisfied long time customer.
Brands I'd also recommend: Florsheim

Excellent Shoe - This is my first pair of Bostonian's. The shoes felt very comfortable right out of the box. I was very pleased with the appearance and style of the shoe. I would definitely buy another pair.

Recent purchase - The service on my purchase was terrific; Zappo honored the price guarantee, and I had my shoes in three days. If I can find the shoe I'm looking for here I'm not going anywhere else.

Good Value - The Good: Nice looking shoes. Good fit at a good price. The Bad: Shoes come unlaced (certainly not a big deal). The Ugly: Made in India, a nation with a cast system, who's people discriminate against its own Harijan people (Once Harijans were called "untouchables," allegedly unclean.) Bostonian should consider outsourcing to a vendor in another country.

Dressy but not stodgy - I tried these shoes on at a local shoe store so I was fairly confident that the ones from Zappos would fit. They do. Also, the price was almost twenty dollars less than the local shoe store. I received the shoes in two days. They are dressy without looking stodgy. The ordering process was great and I would not hesitate to use Zappos again .

Whoaaa, I can't believe it! I ordered shoes last night at around 10pm eastern time, and just received the shoes this evening--7pm eastern time! This is the best Internet service I have EVER heard of. I am a first time customer of Zappos, and have been left quite impressed. I will recommend this site to every one I know! This site was highly recommended to my wife by a co-worker. This is the first time I have ever ordered clothing or shoes online. It is so much more convenient than the hassles you encounter at the malls! Oh yeah, and the shoes fit and feel great!!!
