Customer Reviews Bostonian Bolton Free

The Brown 8.5 fits Perfect but the Black same size is very tight and uncomfortable.

Bought these and had to return them as heel ran a bit wide. My husband has wide (EE) feet with a narrower heel. They looked great on and felt comfy, just too much slipping in the heel.

My second pair....I like slip ons because I enter people’s homes for work and these shoes are comfortable and quickly put on and taken off....rubber soul was long lasting on the first pair and the wide size option is what drew them to me and my EEE feet....professional looking and comfortable....I highly recommend them as a reasonably priced dress shoe that you don’t need to baby like costlier pairs.

I ordered a pair of 12 wide in brown and they are the most comfortable dress shoes I've ever had. So then I ordered the same in black but to my surprise they were a completely different fit, way too big. Don't know if it was just an odd fit and if I should try another size 12 or if I should try 11.5 wide.

The shoe felt too narrow.

Very nice fitting slip on shoe. Comfortable for a dress shoe. Looking for the shoe to break in a bit more but that will come in time.

Length was ok but toe area was too narrow.

Bought these shoes 5 years ago and they were great. Bought the same size and width now and they are really narrow. Placed them up against the old ones and the soles are a good half inch narrower. Very disappointing.

Not sure why, but all the orders I place on Zappos seem to run at least a full size smaller than my sneaker shoe size. So my typical 11.5" to 12.0" is a 10.5" for every show I've ordered on zappos. These Bostonians are no exception. That being said, seems like their quality has lessened over the last couple of years (Bostonians Specifically). Their price is better, but don't feel has thick and durable, sole doesn't doesn't have the same grip and feels somewhat flimsier. The last pair I bought in 2017 was easily my fav shoe of all time, these are still nice and comfortable but I don't see them lasting half as long.

I have only had these shows for about 6 months. While I am on my feet a little bit more then the average office worker, these shoes completely lost their shape and most of their support.

I had to return these shoes. They look nice but the EE width is not wide enough for my husband. He was not able to get his foot in the shoes past the elastic because he has a high instep and these just would not expand enough. I would not recommend them for anyone with a high instep.

Bostonian's "Bolton Free" was a major disappointment. The shoes were much more narrow than previous models. The quality has slipped since manufacturing was moved to India. After several impressive pairs of Bostonians, I'm now forced to find a new brand.

Right side of the shoe is narrow and now I get pain after 4 hours of wear. left size is OK.
