Buy Bostonian Shoes Compare Prices

Review by Glenn A. Quinlan:

I'm forced to purchase shoes over the Internet given my shoe size and that the local (Caribbean) stores don't often have my size in the styles I like. I'm partial to Bostonian and Giorgio Brutini as they seem to have standard styles. This Bostonian is the first shoe I've purchased unseen and I am pleased with the fit and the look. The shoe is also stitched at the bottom and that's very important to me. As I've only had the shoes for a month, it's a little early for me to discuss longevity and will update on this characteristic if durability becomes a factor in the future

Review by Nathan A. Edwards:

I am now on my second pair of this particular shoe and I would have to say that I am just as pleased with the second pair as I was with the first. I have to admit that the price is what I find the most appealing. These shoes are very hard to distinguish from its more expensive peers and I believe that few individuals would be able to tell the difference. My only complaints are that they do not hold a polish quite as well as I would like and the sole wore out a little quicker than I had expected. These problems can be cured, however, with frequent polishing and a trip to the cobbler to have a rubber sole glued on for a minimal fee. Even without the addition of the rubber sole, my first pair lasted for about six months with daily use. These shoes are perfect for those on a budget, and will certainly get the job done in style.

Review by Cary Babka:

I have had a pair of these for several years; they were an incredibly lucky find. They're *extremely* comfortable, better than many pairs of sneakers I've tried on. They've worn very well, and I'd say they're well made: I've only had to replace the shoelaces once. A bit of polish, some Kiwi leather cleaner and protector for water, and they're perfect. Trust me, you can walk for miles in them, and they look great, I think. A great purchase. If you're looking for a pair of dress shoes, and nervous about buying them without trying them on, well... my feet love them. Don't know how far that will carry yours, but there's my two cents. Excellent!

I have to completely agree with the review by Cary Babka "Bookworm-in-Chief".

These are the best shoes I've ever worn before. Period.

I have worn my pair for several years. I wore them daily while walking everywhere I went in Europe. Then I wore them daily while walking miles a day in the advertising business. These shoes have never let me down. The only thing I had to replace was the shoelaces - one time.

I never felt out of place wearing these shoes. Never did I feel that I was too formal in these shoes, nor too casual when meeting clients or attending formal dinners. My so called "casual" sneakers got demoted to strictly playing tennis after I bought these shoes.

As for the comfort, my feet have probably been spoiled because of these shoes. Even if I have to work 16 hour days my feet are still fine. For as much as I've worn these shoes and worked 80 hour weeks in them, the shoes still don't have an odor to them other than that of well worn leather (and it's barely discernable). I've never applied anything to the shoes, save for shoe polish.

I'm having to buy my second pair now because my first pair I've worn out after owning them for almost 5 years. The top of the shoes are fine, only minor abrasions are visible if I don't polish the shoes once in a while. It is the soles that are wearing out, I've worn them down to almost nothing.

I was very lucky to discover Bostonian and I believe I'll never have to hunt for comfortable shoes again that also look great!

Review by Liz:

My husband stated that these were the most comfortable shoes he's ever worn. The soft leather is so flexible that he feels like he's wearing slippers, and for the moderate price, it's absolutely worth purchasing!

Review by H. Noble:

Being familiar with the brand and model we purchased these because they dropped down to an unbeatable price. We paid for these shipped. For that price it was silly not to buy these but my husband who wears dress shoes frequently is particularly fond of these because of past experience. He finds them very comfortable with plenty of cushion, he likes the black leather finish that wear well and of course the quality and workmanship is great. The shoes are well made, the price was the only reason we chose to purchase them from Amazon, they were the cheapest around. So if your in the market add them to your 'save for later' cart and watch for a price drop!
