The Bostonian Story: From Whitman, Massachusetts to Clarks
Bostonian Shoes FAQ
Clarks, which has owned Bostonian since 1979, has reduced the line in recent years. New Bostonian styles are rare, and similar shoes now appear under the Clarks brand.
Bostonian is owned by C. & J. Clark (Clarks). The brand began in Whitman, Massachusetts, in 1899.
Bostonian earned a reputation for durable, comfortable dress shoes at mid-range prices. FlexLite and First Flex models are lighter and softer than traditional leather-sole dress shoes.
Most Bostonian dress shoes fit true to size in medium and wide widths. If you wear thick socks or orthotics, consider a half size up.
Some older Bostonian collections were made in Italy, while most modern pairs were produced in Asia. Check the listing for the country of origin.
The remaining Bostonian shoes are sold at Clarks Bostonian outlets, DSW and on Amazon — the pairs above are linked, along with Clarks alternatives.
