Nice shoes - These shoes only took a couple of hours to feel like I'd been wearing them for years. Very comfortable. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

These are great looking boots, wonderful color and nice and tall. However, they are listed as having a 12 inch circumference and I just measured the size 8 which is 14.5 inches around. A big difference to me. I have long thin legs and they look too big. Also they are roomy in the toe area so I am going to try the 7.5 size. I am afraid that will not help the circumference though. The measurement should be changed on the description so that people with larger calves will not be afraid to try them.

The shoes came promptly. I was totally satisfied with the look, style and color (I have bought these in the past from retailers). The comfort level however was a little stiff, unlike what I remember the shoe feeling like. I own several pairs of ECCO dress shoes and they are more comfortable by far.

Excellent product - A little smaller than expected, but an excellent shoe for the money.

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.”

Bostonian Lakewood - These shoes are wonderful and fit great. They look just as good on as they do in the picture, maybe better. They are very comfortable and I give you 5 stars on everything, especially the service. They were in my hands before I even expected. Thanks for your terrific service and for the great shoes.

The perfect loafer! Great shoe. Shiny, black, classic loafer with comfort and good sole. It is true it runs about a half size big. Looks great with jeans or black suit.

At last the right last - I have always had difficulty finding a good fit because of a very high arch. Thanks to Zappos return policy I was able to search several brands until finding Bostonian which works perfectly for me out of the box...no I know where to go in the future. Thank you Zappos.

Bad finish - Over all the shoe looks great but after wearing it twice (18 hours total) the finish on the shoe began to peel. I bought the cordovan color. On those areas where the shoe bends it is very noticeable that the "shiny" finish is beginning to peel. Not sure if this is common because of the color or if it's simply a bad quality finish. I have written Zappos to arrange for a replacement with the same color but different manufacturer.

Best Penny Loafer Made! I've worn many brands of penny loafers over the years. Never realized Bostonian made a traditional P. Loafer. I buy nothing but Bostonian dress shoes, period. Shoe is outstanding. True fit, not super tight over the top, true to size & width, top, top quality. Very comfortable. Carries a nice shine, works with slacks, Dockers or jeans. Quick break-in. If you want a penny loafer, look no further than this Lakewood. ***Zappos - Impressive as always. Have all styles, sizes and these were on my door step 12 hours after ordered!

Too big - My 8.5 size shoe seems too big for me. Maybe I'm shrinking in old age.
