Customer Reviews

No Break in at all
As with all Bostonian shoes they are comfortable right from the start! Wear well and are priced right.

Disappointed
Bostonian shoes have been a favorite mid-priced brand of mine for several years. The shoes that were US or Italian made offered good fit, style and value. But what's an American to do in a global market? Since most, if not all, US brands have gone off shore to manufacture their shoes in an ever widening number of countries, finding a shoe that fits correctly is increasingly difficult. I have found that sizes vary a great deal depending on where they are manufactured as well as the brand. Shoes made in India have tended to be wider / longer than the old American standard.

These shoes are made in India and the 9M was long and very wide. Sent them back for an 8 1/2M - same thing. Sent those back for an 8M and the shoe is somewhat short and still too wide. I was able to compensate for the width with a tongue pad but they still do not feel right because of the length. If you have a wide foot, the seller offers free shipping and returns and you have the time / patience to send back and forth then you may be able to get a good deal. But if you have to have them right away, or you have to pay for the return you may not want to purchase these mail order. If you really want this style, go to a brick and mortar and try them on to make sure they are going to fit and be comfortable.

These are light weight, thin-soled, lightly padded, all leather shoes except for the heel which has a rubber insert. Not made for a lot of walking. I have only worn them a few times and have noticed loose stitching on the top trim on the side of one shoe.

Grossly Missized
My husband wears 8W. We ordered this shoe in that size; it was way too long and wide. We ordered 7.5D. Width OK but still way too long. We gave up!!
