Incredibly comfortable! I needed an updated pair of black shoes and these were perfect. There is a little shine to them as well so I’ve even worn them with my tux...much more comfortable than my formal pair of shoes!!

These are great classic shoes to wear with all my business suits. I had 2 pair of J&M years ago (Black & Brown). Wore them for work every day in Manhattan. Eventually had them re-soled and wore several more years. I plan to get another pair in Brown very soon.

Ecco and Merril are great for more casual shoes with wide sizes

My husband just purchased these as a replacement for a similar Johnston & Murphy Cap Toe shoe that always got compliments but were not wide enough(in regular width). We ordered a wide in this shoe and he LOVES them. Worth the extra money for all the padding this shoe contains. He can stand all day with no pain.

Extremely well-made shoe. My husband has VERY wide feet (3W) but he finds that a size 9 fits better than the 9-1/2! Go figure. He is keeping the size 9

I am on my third or fourth pair of these shoes. I wear to work and Church while suited up or dressed down to biz casual. The shoes take some break in. But, they become comfortable friends. The stitching and leather hold up quite well - usually 5+ years for me - wearing basically six days week. The leather soles do wear thru. I normally have a shoe cobbler put on a rubber sole when the first sole wears thru. That holds up for the rest of the upper's life. The replacement sole enhance waterproofness of the foot bed and also the traction on smooth surfaces. I tend to wear the outer corner of the heels ... I have the cobbler add heel taps now and gain. If you take reasonable care of these shoes, the leathers stay beautiful. They take polish and buff wonderfully. The airport shoes shine guys love them and I have been whistled over for a shine ..."bring me those J&Ms buddy". I love these shoes. I have a few co-workers who wear them as well - yes we are sales guys. They run nicely through airports, handle cobble stone Munich, and endure the US midwest winters and salt (especially one the rubber sole are on). Parade Gloss Black shoe polish from Kiwi.. polish the heels too. I'm hard on shoe strings in these shoes, find a strong brand and stick with them. Do them a favor .. use shoe trees at night. Enjoy

I bought my first pair of Johnston and Murphy Melton's in 1997, and have had that same pair resoled three times. Now the leather on top has finally shown enough aging that I have to buy a new pair. Two decades of wear from the Melton...more than justifies the price. We will soon see if they are as well made now as they were 20 years ago!

I have 3E wide feet. Quality and width were the two things I was looking for when I began my search for new dress shoes. These shoes are doing a great job! The width is about right for my feet and they are certainly of good quality. My pair came with two sets of laces, which was wonderful! They are all leather and good quality. They are my new office shoe and I am happy with them.

I wear this shoe every day to work -- As a teacher, I am on my feet for about six hours of a ten-hour work day. This shoe is a comfortable as any pair of sneakers. It quickly breaks-in to your foot and has the right combination of cushion and support.

These shoes look great with jeans (business casual look) or a suit(a more formal look). The color of the shoe coordinates well with most everything that I wear. A break in period is needed, as with all new shoes, but very comfortable wearing after that. I would highly recommend these shoes. Can't go wrong.

The Melton cap toe is the perfect shoe for a business environment. It works well with a suit or the typical slacks and a button-down shirt. It is both stylish and comfortable. The rubber heel adds a degree of safety for those wet surfaces! Every man should have a pair in his closet

The Johnston & Murphy Melton is a great looking shoe. The size runs a little big. I normally wear a 10.5 D(M) and I should have gotten a 10 D(M) in this shoe. I bought this shoe to wear with a Tuxedo and later decided on a Patent Leather Shoe instead. I will definitely buy this shoe again when I need a good black dress shoe.

I enjoy the comfort and style of this shoe. This is the second pair I have owned and purchased. I had my original pair reconditioned 3 times in a 5 year period - that's how much I enjoy this timeless classic. Strongly recommend this to the businessman who enjoys looking stylish, but is conscious of cost.

Fantastic look and feel. This is definitely a high quality shoe. The leather soles take a little getting used to if you are a first-timer, but nothing to worry about. Lots of compliments on this item in the first couple of wears.

Like the shoe. Good overall. Good style. Seems high quality leather that should and be able to be refurbished. 3 star for comfort for now as I have only worn them one time. I am sure they will break in, but now they are a little stiff.
