That said, the Bostons aren't a plush ride by any stretch. It's comfortable but it's meant for a pretty high pace when the foam really activates. If you're coming from UB a slow pace or just walking it's pretty stiff ride in comparison. I love mine personally.
If you want a plush ride the usual highly regarded models off the top of my dome: Asics Nimbus 25/26 (they saw a really big change with the 25s), New Balance 1080 v12/v13, Saucony Triumphs, Brooks Glycerine and Nike Invincible 3s. I'm unfamiliar with other brands but I'm sure brands like Hoka have their own max cushion running shoes too (think it's the Bondi or the Clifton for Hoka). Just try them out. Dicks Sportings Goods has all of these brands usually in stock to try out. They'll each fit differently and have cushions that vary from really soft to uber soft so it's up to you. I love my Invincibles but they don't really feel like any of the other shoes. Hard to explain but people either love them or hate them. Personally if I had a single shoe to jog a few miles in and don't have a stable of running shoes, the Nimbus'/1080s are sublime.
This is not what i'd recommend for a daily trainer and definitely not as a walking shoe. This is most definitely a performance trainer.
Boston 11 and 12 are a world of a difference; the 11 is quite stiff and rockered while the 12 is softer and takes a lot less to get the "snap" on the toe-off. I find the boston12 more inherently stable than the Puma DN2/Saucony ES3. Softer isn't always better.

At this price, it's hard to pass the Bostons to just throw in the rotation.
Just can not find the shoes easily and never (almost) find deals on them

I think you just convinced me to try out the ES3. Shame they're so hard to find these days in my size...they're sold out just about everywhere. Would the ES4 kinda be the same?
Forefoots are roughly the same, but it takes more force to move the b12 than the es3/dn2. In a pinch I can use any of these three for a daily run.
FWIW I didn't like the ES3 that much, I get along better with lower drops. The heel compliance was a bit much for me, along with the 8mm drop. The b12 rides more like 4mm with the heel bevel. DN2 feels like 6mm.

The upper is kinda crap. Scratchy comes to mind. As others have noted the laces, tongue, and lacing system itself is also a bummer, but not a deal breaker for me, ymmv. On the plus side they're very breathable which I find works very well with rainy runs. The sole is grippy too.
That said…please don't get these as walking shoes. You can feel the rods in them at slow pace and while they're not as unstable as other running shoes, they're still not what I'd want on my feet for any amount of walking.
