Customer Reviews Florsheim Kenmoor Wingtip Oxford

I bought my first pair while still in law school 32 years ago and paid [$]. The current shoes are not built to the same standard but can't be for the price charged. I would be willing to pay two to three times the price to get an American made shoe of the old quality. My most recent pair has worn in an unusual place (upper bead of trim at the heal) and has done so prematurely. That said, they are still a very good shoe at a very reasonable price. They are still comfortable for the entire day. Given the price, I don't expect them to last as long. Even if Indian made, I would pay somewhat more for the old quality.

I've never worn a dress shoe that wasn't a FI Kenmore style (or a knock off). I'm still wearing a pair my dad gave me in 1975. But their at the end. My most recent pair, which get special event duty are going into regular service. 10 years ago there was superior grade of Kenmore which apparently is no longer made. Too bad I was ready to jump. I like the ones I have but truly would pay more money for a shoe with the quality the 1975 version had even if its 3 or 4 bills. If your the looking for top end you don't whine about the price.

I have three pairs of these going on 15 years now. They are the only dress shoes I buy> Love the classis down-to-earth styling. For when you want to make a statement without shouting.

Have had many long wing's dating back to the 70's. My father always insisted "these will out live you". So just ordered another pair of black pebble leather long wings. The left shoe has a couple of upper panels that are umm, not 'pebbled', somewhat smooth looking. Not that anybody will notice but at [$], you need to QA your stuff.

Great shoes, although they are not the Imperial Wingtips of 30 years ago.

Wasn't expecting the pebbled grain, but like the shoe.

I bought a pair of cordovans about 4 months ago. I like them so much, I bought two more pairs this evening. Super supportive and stable for walking. I'd be glad to pay more for the upgrade in the leather, but you can't beat them for the price. For me, they work for everything from business casual to casual wear. Overall, an excellent value and very comfortable shoe. I'm done buying shoes until I wear these out, which could be some time.

Ordering was easy[...] Highly recommend.

I wear these shoes for work mainly. They have worked out great unless you need to stand in them for 10 hours at a time. But for a normal day of work at my desk and walking around they've been great.

Great shoes. Couldn't find them in the stores but I found online so I'm happy.

When my father died five years ago he left five pairs of Florsheim Wingtips in his closet - two are the special sharkskin models. He sold them at a store in Wichita, KS for 30 years, and he wore Florsheims every day. Sadly, he was a size and a half smaller than I, but he talked me into a pair when I graduated college and started teaching. Twenty-six years of teaching and three pairs of my own, and I'm still wearing them. Unfortunately, there are no local stores which sell the leather-soled wingtip models like the Kenmoor. Thank Heaven we can still order them! These have always been, and , I hope, will continue to be a quality, well-wearing, and stylish dress shoe for men.

I have had these for less than a year and wear them in a rotation. These shoes are comfortable and are great for wide feet. Upper leather broke-in very well. My only complaint is that the front of the soles are wearing quickly with one sole slightly misaligned. They also lack the slightly curved-in shaping on the outer part of the sole, mid-foot, that you find on my other classic shoes. Overall, however, I like these shoes and expect them to last once resoled.

This my first long wing, but I am very satisfied with them. They are very good quality. The construction has been rock solid for about 9 months now. They are worn almost everyday for 10 hours or more. I'm on my feet all day and they hold up well with zero discomfort. A cushioned insole would be nice, but for a leather soled shoe they couldn't be better in my experience. The leather quality is good/very good. Not excellent. They shine easily. The cognac color is odd for me. It has taken some getting-used-to. It is actually slightly lighter in person than the web-site image suggests. I've used a pure brown shoe polish on them to darken them a bit, and it gives them less of a "new" look. It also makes it easier to wear them with browns. Although I wear these shoes at work primarily (I'm a surgeon), they could easily be worn with jeans or a suit. I've done both. Overall, I'm very satisfied. I wouldn't consider buying the alternative brand that is twice the expense. I'd rather have two pairs of these.

Ageless style

Not the quality they use to be when made in the US.

Some things never change, meaning we know what going to get every time, with Florsheim it's great quality and excellent workmanship. Trendy is not a smart way to spend your money stay with the classic's and you want go wrong.

The shoes are well-made,comfortable,and durable; hard to find a wingtip as nice. I'm just disappointed that right out of the box, you can tell that the leather looks "cheaper" and more plastic-like than they did 10 years ago. I've had 3 pairs and they used to be thicker, better leather. Still nice, but not what I was expecting.
