Love the shoe and not the strings - I have had these shoes for less than and month and the shoestrings have nearly disintegrated. I am very disappointed that the quality of the shoestrings does not match the shoe.

Great Casual/Dress Shoe - I hate brown shoes, but these look fantastic in brown and have the comfort to match. They are adequately padded all around and have a nice cut for good sizing. The bottoms are plush but not so soft as to feel like you're walking on a sponge, and the back and sides are soft in the right places.

Classic Shoe - Very comfortable shoe with a spot on fit; style is perfect for business dress. A great investment at a reasonable price.

Bostonian Academy - Out of the box the shoes were somewhat uncomfortable. After wearing them for about a week, the leather began to relax a bit and the shoe became very comfortable. I am very pleased with my purchase!

Extremely comfortable - I don't wear dress shoes often, but I could see myself wearing these almost daily. Very comfortable--I can walk for miles in them.

A good shoe. The leather is not pretty nor does it exude quality. It may even look slightly cheesy in a "is that vinyl?" way. But this shoe is super comfy! The padded inner sole and rubber outer sole make this a shoe your feet will love. Life is full of compromises that work.

X1 - Great shoe for a great price. Sizes are very true. Quite comfortable for a nice looking dress shoe. I wear them with dress slacks and even with suits.

Not quite great, but almost - The look of the heel sole from the side cheapens the overall quality look of the shoe. The shoes are very comfortable.

Another great shoe from Bostonian - I love my new shoes! The fit and style are great, and they are very comfortable, right out of the box. I will buy more Bostonians in the future.

Not for someone who works on their feet - Looks great...but not for someone who stands (sales) all day. VERY uncomfortable.

I ordered one pair in black, the other in brown. They are the most comfortable shoes I have found and easy to keep looking sharp! Concerning Zappoa.com, this is the best company I have dealt with. I called customer service first before ordering on line and I received the best service ever. I would recommend Zappos to anyone!

Great Shoes! I was so pleased with the price, style, and comfort of these shoes that I purchased two pair: tan and black. These are very good shoes.

Old Sarge's Shoes - Very nice looking and didn’t scuff at all with all the dancing at the wedding. Although big, didn’t make his feet look gigantic.

The shoe looks good and is well made. Shoe comfort is only fair compared to past shoes I have owned. Overall this is a good purchase.

So far, not bad... I've had this shoe about a week, and after a short break in, they feel quite good. My one complaint is that the insole on the right shoe has developed a "click" type noise when I walk a certain way. I believe it's the glue that binds it to the rest of the shoe that has come slightly loose in the middle, and the sound is the insole pulling away from what it's attached to as my weight is taken from it. I'm hoping with more wear that the sound goes away.
