Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Melton Classic Dress Cap Toe Oxford

Wow! I have size 15 and I have, for my entire life, so far, have had a hard time finding shoes that fit, feel good, and look good. This shoe did all three out the box. I weigh 250lb's and I am up and down all day. These shoes hold up well and I don't feel fatigued later in the day, nor do my toes get cramped. Great shoe. I am looking for a brown pair but their sold out. :(

My first pair I ordered a size too large, based on some other reviews I read. After returning for a smaller pair (thank you Zappos!), I can tell you that these shoes are as close to perfect as can be! I stand for roughly 2/3rds of my workday, and the excellent arch support found in this shoe definitely makes the cut. This shoe is not only comfy, but durable as well. No scuff marks or deforming after the first 3 months of daily wear (I polish these every once in a while, however, so your results may vary if you don't). I do wish they made some narrower options in the small sizes, as they didn't have my perfect shoe size available.

The shoes are stiff until broken-in. Be sure of the size, but do not expect immediate comfort. After they form to your foot, they are great. Break-in may take a few wearings. They are true to size. And they look great.

I wear a size 10.5 in most athletic shoes (Nike, Adidas, New Balance) and where a size 9.5 in these which is in line with how most dress shoes fit. The leather is a bit firm, but breaks in relatively quickly.

Needed a more formal shoe for business and events. I liked the way this one looked on line and the positive reViews. Having worn them several times I am completely satisfied.

These shoes fit perfectly out of the box. Since I had been wearing slip on for many years, I found them somewhat tight around my upper foot. It took about three wearings before they felt comfortable. After that, I hardly noticed I had them on. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Five stars for Zappos. The shoes were everything we had hoped for. Very decent price for the quality. We will be coming back to Zappos again.

The shoes are very sturdy but surprisingly comfortable. I was afraid that there would be a long break-in period, but I felt comfortable from day 1.

Very pleased. Very high quality. Of course easily scuffed, but like any other leather shoe. Laces easily come undone, but I solved that by double-knotting -- which actually looks nice. Comfortable in the main. One day I began to develop a sore on my heel, but that didn't occur again -- perhaps I tied it too tight. I've worn them for as long as twelve or fourteen hours and my feet were still comfortable -- comfort is a win for this pair. Very classy look. Very sharp. Again, very satisfied.

I think the shoes is great. Like any other shoe it does require some breaking in it will take about 3 to 5 wearings which is standard. I will admit the leather was firmer than other shoes but that is what you want with cap toe shoes since you want a more rigid look. I think the people who were complaining about the weather being too hard have not broken in or worn enough work shoes!

I appreciate the service Zappos offered in getting these shoes; we do not have a shoe store in my community that carries this type of shoe, and I needed it for my daughter's wedding; I received it in a timely manner--as beautiful as it looks in the photo. And the size was right. What a service. Jim N.

These are beautiful and well constructed shoes. The fit is perfect for me. I have tried other well known brands but I keep coming back to this brand because they last beautifully.

I have size 12 length but ball and arch need size 13. On top of that I am a 3E with a high arch and a short instep, at least relative to a size 13 shoe. These JMs fit perfectly and are as comfortable as a dress shoe can be - that is, better than most.

First pair of really nice dress shoes that I've bought and I am not disappointed. They fit is great and they look sharp. Highly recommended.

I have a wide foot and the "E" fit very well. It's nice to finally have a quality dress shoe that looks as good as it fits.

Great shoe. I've bought this in both colors. Very true to size. Good for a high instep as well.

Okay, I'm finally popping for a pair of these shoes. I wore these to my concert with tux last night and they definitely live up to their heritage. My dad owned a pair of their shoes, so I've known about the quality workmanship all my life. I have very narrow feet - these work, holding my heels in. It took a bit of warming them up to loosen up the toe box. Totally worth it.

Very nice shoe! I have wide feet, and these fit well. They look really good. They take about a week to break-in - after which they are very comfortable.

Great looking and quality pair of shoes. They are a little stiff at first. Especially putting them on. After about 8 days of wearing them they fit perfect.

Attractive, comfortable, and fairly priced shoe for the quality. Provides a solid balance for much of my professional wardrobe. I plan to buy another pair and would especially recommend the shoes for executives on a budget looking for decent quality at a fair price. And of course, the folks that I have dealt with at Zappos exude what excellent customer service is all about. Thank-you all for your patient assistance on the telephone and the expediency of my receipt of my shoes. Truly a positive experience.

Shoes look and feel great! They look exactly like AE Park Ave, which is good since that shows classic style. The leather is high gloss, but is still pliable, unlike most that are so hard they start to crack. Also, I didn't have a break in period. They were comfortable from day one!
