Right out of the box these shoes conform and comfort at the same time.  Reasonably light, these are slips ons that stay on and do not slip around, while still providing ample room in the toe box.  My experience is that they were sized right (12W shipped - which corresponds to 12EE in drop down menu); meaning that they are similar in internal size to previous Bostonian purchases (e.g., the Prescott model).  Color is a rich, moderately dark brown, which is accurately portrayed in the picture.  And at less than 1/2 the list price these are a real value for the quality offered.
