Formal yet comfortable - I bought these shoes for a friend's wedding. I usually wear skater shoes for comfort but I was pleasantly surprised that these wingtips were just as comfortable! The leather uppers take a good shine and look great with a suit or tux. I will be wearing these shoes to more semiformal occasions as well.

Great Dress Shoe For The Money - I've been buying Bostonian shoes since high school and have always been able to wear them right out of the box with no really break-in time necessary. I have had several pairs of these in both black and cordovan and they’re a staple in a work shoe. I dress everyday for work and depending on if I in a suit of sport coat and slacks I alternate between these and their loafers. They resole well and top stays very good and even if they get a little shabby I can buy three or four pairs for the price of the high end brands, which I haven't found any more comfortable.

Dress Shoes by Mail - For several years I have bought casual shoes through Zappos, but this was my first time to buy a pair of dress shoes. I found the shoes to be exactly what I wanted, since I was able to specify a brand with which I was familiar. I got exactly what I ordered - no surprise there - and I got them fast - no surprise there, either. My vote goes to Zappos, anytime I need anything -- they have it all.

Good Value - Very comfortable and classic look. Good cushioning under the foot and the shoe overall feels "substantial" (not too light weight or flimsy). Tried the Florsheim Lexington first but just felt "cheap". This was worth the extra few dollars.

Repeat purchase - This is a great classic dress shoe: comfortable and easy to break-in.

Additional Brand Information

Tired of exposing your worn out socks to countless strangers? Frustrated with untying and retying your shoes while rushing to catch a plane? Or are you just plain sick of the amount of time it takes to get through security lines at most airports? Bostonian, a leader in stylish, comfortable men's shoes for over 100 years, has a welcome solution for you and millions of other frequent fliers.
Bostonian’s new Nonstop collection enables wearers to breeze through metal detectors thanks to the use of nylon heel shanks for stability. Traditionally, dress shoes makers use metal shanks. According to Glen Arentowicz, Bostonian Business Director, the nylon shanks offer equal levels of support and stability as the metal shanks, without the resulting travel headaches. “At Bostonian, we continually assess the benefits of using new materials to better address the needs of our consumers. The nylon shank in our Nonstop collection is the perfect example of how improved shoe technology can help us make shoes designed for the way men live today.”
Additional benefits of Bostonian’s Nonstop collection include fully waterproof construction, durability and instant comfort. Soft yet dressy full grain uppers stand up to the elements and leather covered poly-foam footbeds provide cushioning and breathability. Lastly, the polyurethane sole is both lightweight and durable. “Our consumers tend to be professional men living active, hectic lives, states Arentowicz. “With Nonstop by Bostonian, nothing will stop them, not the weather, not airport security, not the test of time.”

Excellent for the price - These are very well constructed, nice looking shoes, at a reasonable price considering the quality. They are a little stiff out of the box, but will break in eventually. Since I only wear them on Sundays and special occasions, I would expect them to last a long, long time.

Great look horrible product - I purchased a pair of the Maldens last August and within 4 months the welt was cracked and unrepairable. Zappos was great and offered an exchange, not even 2 months later the welt was cracked and the heel had split on the new pair... DO NOT GET THESE SHOES!!!

Bostonian is satisfyingly predictable - My new Bostonian Wing Tips are classic and timeless. They look swell. Though they will never be mistaken for a $400 pair from Italy, they will serve me well. Predictably well.

Wonderful for a large size! So excited to find a pair of reasonably priced wingtips for my size 14 husband! He loves the shoes and they fit nice. The only thing is the heel is a little low in the back, but otherwise a great shoe at a great price!

Great shoe that won’t break your budget - I was looking for an everyday shoe to wear to work and I think I have finally found it. The shoe shines up nicely and keeps the shine too. I have been wearing it a few times a week since the beginning of the year. I am very satisfied with this shoe and will probably repeat my purchase.

Fathers Day Gift - I gave my husband these shoes a little early. He likes them so well he wants a pair in back and brown. This is a man usually wears tennis shoes or casual shoes. I will be buying them again.

A Small Defect - The shoe is a little more cheaply made than in the past. Also have a small defect at the top of the heel where the leather started to separate the first day I wore it. Okay value.

Best classic shoe ever! True to size, fit great, look awesome. These shoes are a classic; they will never go out of style. They took less than 20 hours to arrive!! I could not be more pleased with Zappos or the shoes.

Dealing with Zappos - When an older pair of Bostonian shoes started to peel and showed defects, my wife suggested that I contact the shoes company to complain. I was hesitant. After some thought I agreed with her and I was referred to Zappos for customer relations. Aside from a beautiful, comfortable pair of shoe, the Bostonian Malden, that I was able to get through Zappos due to the problem I indicated, I can't comment and commend enough the Zappos service model. I got immediate service on a defective item, an exceptional response on the part of someone who let me know that she wanted to be of help and I couldn't be more satisfied with the beautiful shoes that I ended up with. Then, to "boot", she offered to have it sent out to me via overnight express, at no extra charge to me. I am absolutely sold on Zappos and I am a happy ambassador on their behalf and on the Bostonian shoes that they represent so well. Thank you again and again. I am a grateful customer and a willing reference on their behalf.

Great looking, comfortable shoe and even greater service - I ordered this shoe for my teenage son who had outgrown his old pair of Bostonian shoes. I guessed at one size bigger and they fit him perfectly. Because of Zappos excellent overnight service, he was able to wear them to our trip to NY city to see Phantom of the Opera! Thanks Zappos. He loves the shoes. I gave the shoe an overall 4 stars instead of 5 because the shoe's footbed is glued in which made it just slightly more difficult to remove to accommodate orthotics.

Nice shoe: Good quality, well worth the cash. This is a good shoe. I work for Polo Ralph Lauren and my associates think these are the wingtips made by Polo. The only downside is that these shoes will start to wrinkle in the middle of the shoe. Also, the sole seems to wear out pretty fast. I would definitely buy another pair of these.

AWESOME SHOES - I'll never own anything else in a dress shoe. I've had a pair for 5 years and except for normal, sole and heel wear, they look new and hold a shine forever. They’re comfortable but could use just a little more cushion.
