I've been buying these types of shoes from Bostonian for a couple of years now and have always found them incredibly comfortable. With this CURRENT shoe design, I found the toe fit to be exactly as it should be (previous versions of this shoe were a little tight). The soles are firmer than previous versions of the shoe so I expect them to last longer. The tread on the bottom is also a bit more aggressive and non-slip compared to the old version. They even added linings to the inside of the shoe to make it more comfortable when you stand or walk a lot. If you are looking for a slip on dress or dress shoes, I definitely recommend them. When it comes to sizing, it's hard to say what the "right size" is, as different shoes tend to come in different sizes. Please note: I wear these shoes in 10W with minimally padded/thin socks and they fit perfectly. Most of my other running shoes are men's 10.5, my boots are 10.5 W (with thick soft socks) and my (modern) sneakers are 11 (with moderately soft socks). I hope this helps people trying to determine their size.
