My first Zappos purchase -
I have wide (4E) flat feet so it is difficult finding any kind of shoe that fits comfortably. I purchased the Bostonian Marco dress shoe after reading all the reviews. I expected to utilize an arch support insert and I was right. I use New Balance stabilizer inserts and they worked great with this shoe. Overall, the fit is great, the look is perfect, and the speedy delivery was a nice surprise. Thanks Zappos. I'm ready to buy more dress shoes in my size when you get more in. Thanks.

It is hard to find any dress shoes that are 4E.

Outstanding fit... even better service -
Bostonian Marcos are good looking and very comfortable, but it is Zappos’ customer service that wins the prize. I ordered my shoes at 11pm on the website and requested free ground shipping that is supposed to take 5 business days. My shoes, however, arrived the next afternoon! Marvelous - keep it up!

Bostonian Marco -
This shoe seems to be higher quality than others in the price range and looks great. The wide sizes are actually wide. As soon as I got the shoes I wore them for four days at a conference. They were fairly comfortable right out of the box. There was a little soreness after wearing them the first day but much less than dress shoes I've had in the past. These shoes tend to rub just a little under the ankle, but again, much less than other shoes. Overall, a pretty good shoe that I would buy again.

I had to return these shoes - but I love them!
Out of the box, these shoes felt as if the last were molded from my own feet. The fit was perfect in size and width. The calfskin felt as smooth as silk. The problem I have, though, is that I am older and overweight. During a walk over my carpeting I felt that the cushioning was going to prove inadequate for the bottoms of my feet. - So, I had to return the perfect (almost) shoe!! One other matter. You should be aware that the pictures of the shoe do not show that the mid-upper (behind the vamp) is finished in pebble-grain, while the vamp and the back are smooth. Just a style item; not a problem.

Bostonian Marco -
I absolutely love these shoes. They were true to size and the narrow width fit me fine. They were very comfortable the first time I wore them and they needed no break-in period. I ordered two sizes from Zappos, just in case, and the return went smooth and very easy. Thank you, Zappos.

Quality Pair of Shoes -
Good, comfortable pair of shoes. These shoes get numerous comments from co-workers and on-lookers. They feel like they were broken in at the factory so wearing them at first is like wearing a shoe you have been accustomed to for quite a while. For someone with high arches in their feet, I would recommend arch supports as these shoes are kind of "flat footed". I'll certainly buy another pair.

I like Bostonian, Clarks, Sperry, Johnston Murph, and Bass if that helps

I love the look of these shoes - conservative enough for my husband my but still stylish enough to satisfy me. No complaints about the fit and are holding up well so far.

Best Ever in all Respects -
I am about to acquire my third pair of this model in black. I bought my first pair in 2004 whilst in Gainesville, Florida. They are extremely comfortable and yet very stylish. With a good shine they solicit an acclaimed "wow" reaction from on-lookers.

Beautiful shoe, my most comfortable and most enjoyable shoes to wear! They just mold to your foot; gorgeous when shined up, comfortable when walked around in.

A Tale of Two Pairs -
I ordered 2 pairs of Bostonian Marcos; one black & one brown. Zappos.com sent one black, and the other one was a burgundy Stacy Adams! I got on the phone, & arranged to return the Stacey Adams & have them send the brown Bostonian...Meanwhile, I like the black pair they sent... excellent quality. Of course they are not broken in yet & still have that "new shoe" stiffness.

Better Than Expected -
Unbelievable comfort right out of the box. After wearing this shoe for a few hours, I took them to a three day convention. I never expected to wear them every day thinking they would need breaking in. I was wrong. Very comfortable for hours. Good looking for comfort, not frumpy. I did get a wide for sock room.

Excellent shoe, extremely comfortable -
I bought these shoes a few days ago and I really love them. With other dress shoes I have (including a different pair of Bostonian) my feet tend to feel too hot, especially during long airplane travel, but with these shoes my feet always stay cool. They fit perfectly and are incredibly comfortable yet look very nice.

Great Shoes -
My husband wears 12B, so it's wonderful to be able to get this rare size so quickly--not to mention that he says they are very comfortable.

I had previously purchased two Bostonian (black and cordovan Florentine which I liked very much. I have narrow feet, typically 11B, and though Macy's carried them only in medium, I'd tried them in 10 1/2 and they fit and felt fine. No store carried the shoe in brown however. I thought the Chili Marcos in the dual leather finish looked similar and the 10 1/2 fits and looks very nice. Very comfortable.
I was reluctant to buy shoes or any clothes over the internet, but your site was helpful, the color pictures from many angles helped a lot and I found the whole experience to be worth my time and effort and I will shop with you again.

This is the fourth time I have ordered this particular shoe. The pair I currently have is not quite as well made as the previous 3 pairs. The leather is slightly thinner, and the heal worn down a little faster this time.

The shoes were comfortable from the beginning though they were a bit stiff at first. 5 months later, they feel great and have worn in well. I wear this pair several times a week and the sole looks good, though I'm careful to not wear them during bad weather. At this point, I'd consider buying this style again.

The shoes are working pretty well. I wore them for the first time yesterday - all day at work. The right shoe is a little tight on the top of my foot - midway, but I hope this will go away once they are broken in. The shoes are stylish - my wife really likes them and so do I. I have always used Rockports, but it has become increasingly hard to find attractive Rockports in a size 13 B. I hope these shoes work as I need dress shoes in other colors - especially burgundy/cordovan. As far as Zappos service, I could not be more pleased. I have never dealt with a company - online or bricks and mortar that provides such a high level of customer service. The shoes arrived in no time flat at no extra charge to me. I have had to return shoes in the past through no fault of Zappos, and have had no problems in doing so. I would recommend Zappos very highly.

Stiff leather sole detracts from comfort -
The two different types of leather make for a distinctive nice look. Stiff sole makes walking in these shoes less comfortable.

Nice shoes, but cut into ankles.
Needed leather sole shoes for dance. Ordered these and the Florsheim Welles. Both nice shoes, but ended up liking the Florsheim's better -- found the finish a bit cleaner and they have a slightly lower cut, sides don't cut into my ankles like the Bostonian Marcos.

A good comfortable conservative shoe -
The only reason for not granting 5 stars is that I have not worn these many times yet. However, the shoe is attractive and dressy, primarily due to contrasting textures in the leather, without being over the top in normal activities full wingtips can be.

Pretty much any of the Bostonian line that appeals to you

Marco Deerskin shoe -
For reasonably priced dress shoes that are both comfortable and stylish you cannot beat Bostonian's. The Marco is a wonderful shoe, although not as comfortable as my other Bostonian's. But they are breaking in well and look great. Great shoe for the money.
