Bostonian Men's Bolton Free Oxford

Comment

I have purchased this style of Bostonian shoes three other times before and they have fit great. Takes a little bit of time to break in, but they are durable, long-lasting, and comfortable for a dress shoe. I decided to buy them on Amazon to save a little money instead of the store since I felt confident that they would fit well. Unfortunately, as soon as I purchased them I knew I should have returned them. I figured they were just new and had to be broken in. The right toe box felt tighter. I have had these shoes for 4 months now and wear them everyday for work. The top shoe in the picture is the left shoe and the bottom shoe is the right. You can see the differences in the stitching that create a smaller toe box in the right shoe. It may not look like a lot, but it feels noticeably tighter. And now having worn them for months, I am starting to feel the effects. Im starting to develop a Mortons Neuroma because the toe box on the right shoe is smaller than the left. Im sure not every one of these shoes are like this, but the quality does seem inferior from other Bostonian shoes of the same style I have purchased in the store. I am having to replace these shoes sooner than I expected because of the poorer quality.

This is my second pair of Bostonians and I really like them. I tried Clarks and Rockports before these and the soles on both shoes split in less than a year, plus they were more expensive than these. The last pair of Bostonians lasted me several years, I lost my receipt so I dont know exactly how long. I wear these for work and Im in them 9-10 hours a day. They are quite comfortable. Very happy with them.

They look great, fit like a glove and were immediately comfortable. I was surprised at how light weight they are.

I bought these shoes to wear with my tux. I have a brown pair that I bought a couple years ago, and while they took some "breaking in", they now fit great and look classy. The black pair, I expected a break in period as well, but, lo and behold, they fit perfect right out of the box. I wouldnt wear them in the rain or mud, but I am very pleased with the price and the product.

If ithe shoes fit Id give a 4-star rating. Unfortunately, the shoes shipped were 1.5-2.0 sizes too large despite being labeled the size I ordered. These are not expensive shoes but are fine for occasional use. They are lightweight, attractive, and decently constructed. I wouldnt expect them to last very long for daily use.
