I bought these as a gift for husband for work. He loves them! They go great with jeans or dress pants and do not look too old. They are great, comfortable, and stylish. Zappos' price is better than other online, or brick mortar stores. Thanks Zappos!

Bought these shoes for my husband. He's very picky about his work shoes but he loves these! They are very lightweight and sleek, perfect for a business casual environment. We haven't had them long, so I don't know how they'll hold up yet.

This is the second time I have ordered Bostonian from Zappos and the fourth pair of shoes. This is the most comfortable casual dress shoe I have ever worn. Best fit ever! I wear this shoe with Hagar Kaki pants. Durable and easy to maintain.

I bought these for my husband. These shoes are unexpectedly light and comfortable. The two types of leather complement each other quite well. We finally kept this pair after trying out two other pairs of ALDO loafers.

What I like about this shoe is the balance of business and casual. It has such clean lines that it would look natural in most offices, but it's also a soft enough shape that you can wear it with jeans without looking like you're trying to make some kind of fashion statement. If you could only own one pair of loafers, these would do the job.

These are great. Look good fit well. Price was right and they are extremely light. Only negative is that they slide on my foot a little and I stumble more often than with a similar shoe I had. Otherwise go for it.

So far, these shoes are great! Very soft exterior, and easy to get one from day one. That flexibility, though, means that they have molded out of shape a bit already in the month or so I have had them.

Good, functional shoes, but they seem to be very light and a bit "flimsy." Once the leather is broken in and softened up, they are a bit more casual than the dressier appearance. Overall, solid shoes though.

I wanted so badly to keep this shoe, because I'm a huge fan of the color and the comfort of Naturalizer. I started with the 8.5, but it ran too big, so I ordered the 8 (which I can almost never wear), and it was too tight. The shoe gaps too much in the 8.5 to keep it. Such a shame, as these look like great shoes for spring!

I'm an 11.5N and the 11N fit great in terms of overall width and length. The heel was a little too loose so my heels slipped out of the shoes so I'm sadly returning the shoes. It seemed like a comfortable shoe, especially if you stand all day (like teachers).

I want to try a smaller size as these shoes are just a bit loose. They are so cute and I think the shoes will be more comfortable with a smaller size.

Not enough grip in heel to keep shoe on my foot. The little strap across the top is too close to the toes to be useful. The shoe is narrow, and so the leather was uncomfortable in the toe box (too many seams rubbing against my skin. Love the color, but couldn't keep the shoes on while walking. Back they go.

These are the perfect little vacation flats. They are easy to pack, easy to wear. And the bright summer color mixes with all the bright summer colors in my suitcase -- mint green, navy, orange sherbet and sunny yellow! They are perfect for casual nights and short strolls. These are not walking shoes or working shoes. But they are great summer shoes with linen dresses and cool leggings and tops. They are just right.

Very cute shoe, and looks like it might have worked if the sizing was correct. I ordered down a half size as suggested by other reviewers. It definitely runs almost a size larger than stated by the manufacturer. Have to return because shoe does not come in a 5 1/2 AA width.

I usually wear a 7N or S. After reading the reviews, I ordered the 6 1/2. It was huge. Had to return, but ordered the 6. It fits! It is an adorable shoe.

The shoe is pretty comfortable. Unfortunately you still have to "break it in" even in the double wide. But once broken in they are pretty good. I actually went out and purchased the turquoise - the color was gorgeous but not wide. To me the wide felt like a medium with. So I went to the double wide.

Tried three different sizes, but the heel kept slipping. I really liked them but could not find a size to fit.

I love these shoes! This is the 3rd time I have purchased shoes from Zappos and each pair was perfect! I appreciated the comments about running larger. It saved me from having to return the product. The photos from all angles allow me to find the right shoe and I have better succes with Zappos than going someplace and trying shoes on. This is also due to the great selection as well as excellent shots and accurate color photos. Thanks once again Zappos! Sue M.
