Slightly above average shoe - Nice looking shoe, close to what I was looking for. I prefer the Rockport Waterproof Wingtip shoe but they stopped making them 3 years ago until last Sept. but hard to get so settled for this shoe. Width was slightly smaller than what I am used to for ordering a wide but stretched out nicely after a week. I prefer a little more traction on the bottom of the shoe but after scuffing them up worked out ok just be careful using the brake pedal on your car when brand new. When I put them on they weren’t comfortable at all and almost sent them back wore them around the house for 4 hours and scuffed up the floor with the hard rubber heel. The inside is very, very stiff and has a very hard heel that I am still getting used to while the blisters heel. Could use a little more padding in the heel and around the rim on the inside, the leather is very hard. I walk airports a lot and cushioning is ok but could use a little more since insert is rather thin. Over all a decent shoe, I am still working them in after 2 weeks.

These shoes pinch - These shoes are the worst, I could only wear them one day. They rubbed my ankle raw until it was bleeding.

Great shoes - I've always liked the look of wingtips and now I have a casual pair. The suede is lush and the shoes look great. Fit well right out of the box. I get plenty of compliments on them, too.

Came through as advertised - High quality shoe. Fits fine. Looks good. I wore them all day the first time I had them on.

Sides of shoe are very unforgiving, meaning they will rub on ankles.

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.”
