text: Out of the box, the quality of these shoes is suspect compared to other Bostonians I've purchased.  Insoles have little-to-no cushioning compared to the Dockers bike toe shoe, which is less than half the price of the Bostonian's full retail.  Clark has capitalized on the Bostonian name and compromised the quality.  To make matters worse, the shoes are ridiculously narrow.  Not impressed.
