For the past 10 years, I have been buying Kenneth Cole shoes. I always get stuck on a brand and never deviate; however, this time around I decided to go with something less expensive. I wanted something stylish, comfortable, and versatile enough to accommodate my work life and my social life. After reading review after review, I finally decided on the Bostonian. I have been wearing them for about a month now. They are great! Comfortable, professional, but stylish and so far they seem to be as high quality (or higher quality) as my previous brand.

The shoe was a little stiff and took some walking around in to break in but otherwise nice fit; shoe size was on the money. I would buy a 2nd pair when I need them and would recommend them to my friends.

Good enough -
This was my third pair of Bostonian's of this general type. The shoes are comfortable, though not soft and there is a slight cushion feel in the heel. The fit is as expected. The toe leather seems to be somewhat resistant to accidental scuffing. Water resistance is good (tested in Boston spring weather).

Just the right shoe!
This is a terrific shoe! It took me only five minutes to break then in. I purchased them in brown and they go great with jeans, chinos and even dressier slacks. I have worn them at least six times and they are wearing superbly. After a long day, I hardly feel them on. I strongly recommend these great shoes.

Great shoes, great service.
This is a great pair of shoes. They fit true to size and are made with quality materials. The split toe gives a nice twist to the classic oxford. Thanks Zappos!

Love the shoe and not the strings -
I have had these shoes for less than and month and the shoestrings have nearly disintegrated. I am very disappointed that the quality of the shoestrings does not match the shoe.

Great Casual/Dress Shoe -
I hate brown shoes, but these look fantastic in brown and have the comfort to match. They are adequately padded all around and have a nice cut for good sizing. The bottoms are plush but not so soft as to feel like you're walking on a sponge, and the back and sides are soft in the right places.

Bostonian Academy -
Out of the box the shoes were somewhat uncomfortable. After wearing them for about a week, the leather began to relax a bit and the shoe became very comfortable. I am very pleased with my purchase!

Not quite great, but almost -
The look of the heel sole from the side cheapens the overall quality look of the shoe. The shoes are very comfortable.

I love my new shoes! The fit and style are great, and they are very comfortable, right out of the box. I will buy more Bostonians in the future.
