A very elegant pair of shoes at a reasonable price. What really amazed me was the intact condition upon receipt. I must say that this is the first time I buy shoes online. No minor scars or damage...better than buying at the shoe store! The shoes come wrapped in protective material inside a very nice box, conserving the fresh leather smell and shine. 5 stars

I previously owned a pair of Bostonian oxfords and enjoyed them so much I've gone back for seconds! These shoes however, fit my wide feet (11XW) perfectly. They arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The price can't be beat for a quality pair of dress shoes. 5 stars

These shoes have thin lather (~3/8 inch) sole. You can also zoom in the image and see the threads to bind the sole with its top. Once the lather teared off ~1/16 inch, these threads will tear off too.

Another drawback I found is its heel are too hard, just like a wood, they sounds when you steps on the floor (some people may like it). Heal have flat bottom, it should be little curved from the rear end. Being a flat and hard heel they will make you walk like a girl atleast for 2-3 days until they are curved by themselves.

Good part is these have excellent shinning top and they looks very good.

Above review is written after 3 week experience. Will update the review after about 6 months if I found them on my shoe rack.

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 5 stars

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. 4 stars
