Reviewer: Philip S from Newport Beach, CA, USA
Overall:
I ordered several items from Zappos recently and for a company this large, their service is amazing. The product was shipped the same day, it shipped priority shipping (no charge for my particular order) and I received my order the very next day on both occasions! The products exceeded my expectations. Bravo!

Reviewer: Steven Hubert from NY NY, USA
Overall:
The shoes look great, people would swear they are well over $200, but they aren't the most comfortable. I am 5'9" and about 160 lbs and they hurt both the top and bottom of my feet with an average amount of NYC walking. Great price for the money, I just wouldn't spend the day walking in them.

Overall:
Extremely comfortable and sharp looking! I'm really amazed by how well these shoes feel. I've walked across San Francisco in them and my feet feel great. Easily the most comfortable dress shoes I've worn.

Bostonian Helios slip ons were superbly comfortable, great looking and true to size. I would strongly recommend them! I ordered these to wear with Navy blazer and tan wool pants. They were just perfect!

I like these a lot. I receive many compliments. Only thing negative, like others reviewers, is wide heel area and so socks slip down toward toe areas and need to be pulled back up. I am going to try see if sole insert will prevent this. Otherwise, I am very happy with the Helios.

Beautiful shoes, but like another reviewer I have found that on a couple days with heavier walking, I get a blister on the back of my left heel. The back seems narrower than with other Bostonians I have purchased, producing a certain degree of pinching for me.

Disappointed - I have been wearing the shoes for about 6 weeks and at first they felt good. The uppers are comfortable and light but the problem is with the heel. Walking to work this morning the heel fell off in the middle of the street! The heel material is not durable and has been steadily wearing down for the past few weeks until it finally came loose today. I never expected these shoes to fall apart after only a month and a half. I am very disappointed and would not recommend to anyone.

Little big, but good shoe - Shoes felt a bit large, but not enough to send them back. I added a cushion insole to make them snugger. Overall very pleased with the look and quality.

Great shoes - These shoes have the right look at the right price. It is tough to find shoes that look this nice for this price. They have padded insoles that are very comfortable. My only gripe is that small pebbles or gravel can get embedded and stuck in the heel's material.

Not sure about these... I bought a brown and black pair, and for some reason the right shoe on both pairs seems to rub a blister on the back of my heel. Hopefully they just need to be broken in, as they look great.

Way nicer than most shoes in this price range - Seems there are many cheap looking shoes in this price range. This one belongs in a price range above the one its priced in as its much nicer and the heels are not cheap rubber. They look expensive. A great value for the money. They can hold their own with an Armani suit.

Love them - Very comfortable. I have been previously unable to find shoes in an appropriate size as I have small feet (7.5). Department stores usually only carry down to size 8 so I have been wearing big shoes. These look very polished and fit great.

Style, quality, and comfort - Never in my life have I worn such a comfortable shoe, let alone a slip-on! I was amazed at the sleek and clean look of the shoes. They are so versatile - I wear them to work (at a bank) and out to dinner with nice jeans, and they match perfectly in both ensembles. They are great as everyday shoes, as the comfort level is top-notch. Take this as a statement to my support for this shoe, because the reason I am writing a review is I came back to Zappos to buy a pair in each color now.

Bostonian's shoes - My husband and I had hunted all over for a wider shoe that would fit him and we decided to try Zappos and we were very pleased. They shipped the shoes right out to us and they fit perfectly. We were very pleased to know that if they didn't fit they would also pay for the return shipping there aren't many places that do that so that means a lot. We definitely will purchase from Zappos the next time we need a pair of shoes. They are the best!!!

I gave these shoes to my husband for his birthday and he loves them! He says they feel great, and he loves the look. They arrived the day after they were ordered. We couldn't be happier!

Good shoe at a decent price - I needed a slight break in period for the part of the shoe that rubbed against my ankle, but nothing too bad. A solid shoe at a good price. Zappos was a pleasure to order from.

Comfort in a dress shoe - These shoes are the most comfortable dress shoe my husband has ever had, he says. They can be worn with khakis and a polo or with a suit. That makes them nice for business travel. He really likes them.

Good - I own a couple pairs of these - comfortable and good looking. This pair in particular has a rather loud squeak and will be returned because of it. Usually a solid stand by.

Bostonian Helios - This is a very comfortable shoe. It is easy to take off and put on and looks to be very well made with high quality materials.

Good versatile business dress shoe - I'm a 12 wide, and that's often tough to fit, but this shoe in a 12W is incredibly comfortable. Great for airport travel as the slip-on/off is very easy. Looks aren't going to be up there with the Allen Edmonds or Bruno Maglis, but neither is the price at about 1/3 of the cost. I would recommend to anyone looking for a decent second pair of black dress shoes.

Great shoes! My husband will only wear comfy shoes and I want him to look nice so these are a great combination of both. We're both very happy with them!
