Customer Reviews Bostonian Akron

Got these for our groomsmen to wear with their tuxes. Everyone loved them and thought they were extremely comfortable. These shoes can also be worn as regular dress shoes (they are not so super shiny to be tux only shoes, which is why we picked them so they could wear them again). Highly recommended!

These shoes are a great value. I'm on my fourth pair in the last five or six years. They look good for work, they last a long time, and they don't cost too much. I have a narrow foot, and these fit me well. As with everything on Zappos, shipping is very fast.

Great shoes. Really like the style. The "wide" version fit perfect for my slightly wide feet. Regular shoes were giving me a 'neuroma', essentially a pinched nerve in my foot. Even some other wide shoes I bought recently would aggravate it. After wearing these shoes for 2 full days, I can say they performed really well. At a recent wedding I didn't even have to take them off discretely under the table to give my foot a rest. Two complaints: the heel material is very soft and allows small pebbles to embed. Minorly annoying. And the material used in the sole insert isn't as comfortable as in the Rockport Business Lite Bike Front - which is phenomenal. All in all I am very happy with the shoe. I give style and fit both 5 stars, and give performance 4 stars. I sized down to a 10.5, when I thought I was an 11; The last 3 pairs of shoes I bought, with the exception of the Rockport Business Lite Bike Front, have all been 10.5.

Shoe takes a short while to break in, but once they do they are very comfortable. It takes a short while, but if you have high arches it does break better than other shoes before the cap toe, not as many lines. This shoe stays very polished/shiny and I am very happy with it.

These are nice shoes. I am pleased with the wide-range of sizes available. They are high quality with nice leather soles.

Great choice! So far I've worn them to an upscale night club, to a funeral, and to church. Got compliments each time!

Shoe was exactly what I expected and I love the fact that I received them the next day! Fool-proof returns available as well, even though I sure didn't need to return them!

Beautiful shoe but tight for me. At 5 foot 10 I have big feet and these were tight. They would have looked great with my Tux

First time online buyers for shoes and we loved it. My boss wanted Bostonian Clark shoes and I tried for weeks to find them in Southern California, the stores advertised on the website either didn't stock them any more or didn't stock wide in his size. So I thought- why not try Zappos. I heard its free returns you don't even have to pay mileage. So a few days later we had 8 pairs delivered to our door - all Bostonian all his size and all wide. He tried them on, found a pair he loves. We returned the rest and were refunded within a week. He ordered two more exact same pairs! Boy, is life easier as my boss is very busy and was about to go to a mall an hour drive each way.

I've had trouble finding shoes that fit me my entire life, 64 years. I wear a 10-5E, and as a result I've had foot problems. No one made shoes that wide and I was unaware of Zappos until 3 years ago. I have ordered numerous pairs over the last 3 years and had one pair that did not fit quite right, my 1st pair. Zappos overnighted a size change and the new pair fit like a glove. All I do is type in my special size in your search engine and there are always plenty to choose from. Thank you Zappos. You've saved my life, I mean my feet.

These shoes are just perfect for a shoe size 6 1/2 they are luxurious looking, wonderful fit, not to mention a great price. The next day delivery was awesome. Thank you Zappos! I love it and will buy from them again and again!

This shoes were what I expected. Looked nice, fit right and feels right. Color and leather quality is good. I would buy in other colors.

These are nice shoes that fit well. They are very easy to get comfortable. I only had to wear them a couple of times.

Very attractive and stylish shoe. The D width runs a bit narrow but the wide width fit me perfectly.

Great, well built shoes. These shoes are a classic, Good looking dress shoe. My big toe joint is gradually fusing so a wide toe box is essential. These fit the bill perfectly.

Great shoe, takes some breaking in but after it does they last a long time and are very comfortable.

Great classic cap-toed shoe - After the initial break-in period they are very comfortable. The cap toe breaks on a bad spot on my foot and rubbed a little the first day I wore them, but from that point on they were fine.

The shoes were exactly what I was looking for and the best price. Zappos customer service was exceptional!!

2nd pair - I like these shoes so much I purchased a second pair after I could no longer "fix" the original pair. At roughly half the price of what I was paying for similar Florsheim shoes the Bostonian’s are quite the value. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable daily work shoe, business casual or business suit, you won't be disappointed. They do take a day or two to truly break-in in my opinion.

Zappos - Met Tony Hsieh (CEO) at a conference, where he was presenting. He said to give the customer service and quality a try. Second pair of shoes I bought in a month. Shoes are very nice, professional and super comfortable. Very impressed by your company. Thanks.

Excellent - I was looking for an inexpensive, yet nice looking dress shoe. This was perfect. True to size and was pretty comfortable out of the box and as always, arrived the day after ordering. Only worn a few times so far, but no troubles walking through Manhattan. Zappos has been nothing but excellent. By far the best customer support (actually called the manufacturer of another shoe I wanted to find out if/when the style would be available again. They offered, I didn't even have to ask!) and service.

Classic and classy - You can't go wrong with this shoe. The cap toe makes all the difference in styling. Make sure you have exactly the right size. This shoe resoles well, so you will have it for decades to come and it will still be in style.

Great Product Excellent Service - I was shocked how quickly my order was delivered. I had to return it for a smaller size, but the return was just as quick. The shoes are top quality. I'll buy again.

2.5 yrs - I had my last pair of these shoes for 2.5 yrs and wore them most days to work. I am inside and outside on pavement throughout the day. These shoes held up very well to the abuse I put them through. I had the soles caped twice and had 3 heels put on them before they split out where the cap toe is at. They are comfortable as can be for long term wearing (10.5 hr shifts). I will keep buying these because they hold up well.
