I have a wide foot and normally wear Johnston & Murphy, Cole Haan or Allen Edmunds shoes.  I decided to give these Bostonians a try and have not been disappointed.  They fit like a glove right out of the box.  Only time will tell, but the construction seems every bit as good as shoes on which I have spent 2.5x the price I paid for these.  I liked them so much I purchased another pair in tan.  Good luck.
