The shoes look great, but I think the sizing is off. I purchased an 8.5 W (EE), and it is not quite wide enough. The shoe also flexes at a weird place when I walk and compresses the bone leading to the big toe.

Great looking but poor soles - These are very comfortable and good-looking shoes. However, the heel wears out very, very fast. I have had these shoes less than a few weeks and have worn them perhaps a half-dozen times. They are already showing notable wearing on the rear heel, far more than customary for a dress shoe.

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.”

Great fit and comfortable from day 1 - I have a hard time fitting shoes since I have a wide foot. I normally wear a size 10, but fit a size 9.5 in Bostonian brand, which is actually truer to size. These shoes are high quality, look great and feel great.
