Customer Reviews Florsheim Lexington Wingtip Oxford

I look to Florsheim for long-lasting use and appearance; for over 40 yrs that's what I've found; relocated to ice and snow and doubled up my "good" shoes, one size for regular wx and the next .5-1.5 size up for cold wx (thicker socks); normally wear an 8, but too tight; bought 9 D 17066/393852 07 GC, partly made in India; no 9.5 or 10 available; the black edging at tongue opening and foot insert opening began to flake off like cheap vinyl; wear infrequently, use cedar block and use horn when donning. Disappointed.

Nice looking shoes, however the rubber sole insert will peel out of the sole quickly and flap around under your foot. Terrible product idea.

My father used to wear his Florsheim wingtips several days every week and get years of use out of them. I remember getting a pair of hand-me-downs from him as a teen that were quite durable. When I got my new Lexingtons I was immediately disappointed in an apparent lack of quality. The leather feels near paper thin with very little depth to the broguing. The leather is very stiff and cardboard-like out of the box and closer inspection gives the appearance that the soles are glued rather than stitched to the uppers. After wearing them once for 4 hours, I want to sell them so that I can invest in a quality pair of wingtips.

I'm truely sorry but, I thought the shoe was a leather upper but it looks and feels plastic or synthetic which proved too hard and un-yielding. I was looking for a soft leather shoe much like the one prior to the Lexington and Clayton purchase. The shoes remain un-touched at home and if I thought I could return at this stage, I would. My last purchase has been my only disapointment with Florsheim.

I love Florsheim, always have. Had my eye on the Lexington wingtip shoe for a long time. But shortly after purchase, the ever-present squeak became quite embarrassing. Being pretty adept at heel work...often remove old tack nails, re-press cork, and renail my shoes, I hoped this was the issue...it wasn't. Sadly, got a lemon.

Very nicely constructed; however, the size 9EEE was STILL too narrow !!l

I regret selecting this style shoe because it resembles a corfam shoe, should have gone with the Midtown style.

The shoes arrived quickly but the tongue of one was frayed on the end. I returned them, then the problems started

Shoe was more hard plastic than leather. The shoe did fit but looked very cheap.

Very uncomfortable

Sad, I started off good, went very bad very fast once I contacted a Human. The quality was good, sizing info is wrong and I could not get anything other than, "sooooo, U want a return? Yes, Human meatsack. No brains at all. I was dealing with a F...n computer AI. Sad to say, but I'm seeking a new brand. I'd pay 5 times the price to avoid Stupid people. The most important thing to a client, is getting what they purchased as advertised. One star failed. If you have Humans helping clients, U could get more stars. I guess U have rm 2 improve!

Normally their shoes are great these are stuff uncomfortable and crease immediately. Unhappy about this purchase unfortunately.

too big

I have been a loyal customer of Florsheim's shoes for over 50 years. However, I am unsatisfied with the quality of the shoes I have purchased within the past 5 years. The shoes are poorly constructed and seem to last less than a year before I have to purchase another pair. I am a professional and am employed by the Department of Defense and wear the dress shoes on a regular basis. I often get compliments on how well the shoes look. However, it is only because I change shoes everyday and keep them clean and serviceable. I don't encourage any of my peers to buy the shoes as the quality of them has become very poor. The only reason I continue to buy the shoes is because I am hard to fit, have fallen arches and bunions and these shoes are the only ones that my feet can tolerate. If I could purchase a shoe from another manufacturer that offered at least the same feel as the Florsheim's I have used year after year, I would. I just purchased two new pair of shoes and if these last less than a year as I expect them to, I will start looking for an alternative to the Lexington. I have saved two pair that I purchased last year that are only used to walk my dog. I should have returned them but as I said, but didn't want to pay the cost of shipping, standing in line to do so and haggling with a customer service person. Loyalty to the Florsheim brand thus far, in the last five years has caused me nothing but grief in having pay a hefty cost for a poorly constructed shoe. I suspect that this review will fall on deaf ears or be ignored. Prove me wrong. Sincerely, Larry Young Sr. (719) 246-1320.

Too tight. Gave away.

Shoes are way too tight. Size on shoe is NOT the size. Supposed to be a WIDE. Nope.

I have worn this exact model in the past, so this was a reorder--17066. Side-by-side, the shoe changed width, and length. Attempts to contact Florsheim and the WEYCO Group has met with negative results.

Very rough shoe... would not recommend.

The top of the front of the shoe was very stiff and high and dug into my ankle. Very uncomfortable design. I returned the shoes as soon as I tried them on.

I have worn Florsheim all my life. I lost 6 pairs that were average 25 years old in the recent big fire here in Northern California. I ordered a new pair of wingtips from you because I could not locate local shop. I was very badly disappointed when I tried them on as they seriously chaffed my outside ankle bone! A close examination showed that they were cut much higher in that area than prior shoes. After two minutes I was getting serious chaffing. The shoes looked great but they were unwearable. As a long time Florsheim users I was devastated! I sent them back and am now waiting for my refund. I am lost as to wear to find a pair that I can try on ahead of purchase. I truly hope that this experience is not reflective of a general reduction in your quality.

This is the worse part of shoe workmanship I have experienced. The sole separated from both shoes, which would have been totally embarrassing if I was still at my church service. Tailored suits and shabby constructed shoes. Please Florsheim....upgrade your shoe fabrication standards!

After three wears, the sole is separating from the shoe. The shoe initially arrived with scrapes on the toe of the left shoe. I should have returned them at that point. Upon taking the shoe off last night, the heel and sole separated from the shoe to the midpoint, leaving tacks from the shoe sticking me in the hand. I have never purchased a shoe with such poor workmanship. I am totally disappointed!!!

I have worn these shoe three times and I just noticed right sole is coming apart and becoming detached from the shoe. I have never purchased a shoe with such poor workmanship. I was initially tempted to return them when I received the shoes and there was a scuff and scrape on the left shoe. I figured I would keep the pair, since they may not have another size 14 in stock.
