I bought a pair of these at a Bostonian outlet store about two years ago. They were extremely lightweight and comfortable. They are also cool; I generally do not have to worry about my feet perspiring when these shoes. I have minor foot problems (symptoms of Morton's neuroma). I wear these with a pair of Birkenstock inserts. I love these shoes. I live just about 2 miles from work and I regularly walk to work. I found them such good shoes that I quickly bought a second pair.

I normally wear size 9.5; with my inserts I found that I need to wear a size 10. One very minor issue I have is that they show water if any drips on them. I decided not to use any waterproofing on them since they are so comfortable and cool feeling as they are. So, these are not the shoes to wear if it is raining.

I have worn the soles down on my original two pair; I will probably buy two new pair when the soles are worn out. I have seen them on sale for $70 (and if they go into the clearance bin, I am buying several pair).

I was lucky enough to find a pair of these Bostonians for my husband at Marshalls almost three years ago. I loved them because of the style, quality of the leather, and how light as a feather they are. He took to them and then decided all his other shoes were clunky, so I got him a lightweight pair of black Bostonians also. He wore the first brown pair for about 2.5 years, 3-4 days a week - in the office and in the field. With a polish here and there, they held up well and I feel like Goodwill is getting a really nice hand-me-down. I was thrilled to find the style still available when I went to replace these. This shoe will never go out of style and it looks nice with suits, slacks and even jeans - year round. We both LOVE these shoes and recommend them to anyone.

I've owned several different Bostonians and these may have the been the easiest to break-in. I wore them the first time for a 9 hour day at work and never looked back. They are very light and the rubber sole makes them very comfortable. I work at a doctors office and are on my feet a lot. These are perfect and hope that they have a good lifespan.

I have had a pair of these shoes for two years and they have held up very well. They are VERY light and I did really was not expecting them to last very long as a result. However, after two years they are still in great shape. These are my primary work shoes and I wear them 3-4 days per week. They also hold a shine well.
