Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Melton Classic Dress Cap Toe Oxford

These are great shoes for the price. They are reasonably comfortable so far. I ordered true to size and they fit well even for my slightly wider feet. Break in has been taking a while but I am definitely getting improvements. Not same caliber as some of the more expensive shoes but good to have as an alternate when needed!

I wear a pair of dress shoes everyday. After having broken in this pair of shoes I can say that they are better than acceptable. I am not thrilled with their comfort or fit but on the occasions that I wear them they are not uncomfortable. I do notice that they are not as comfortable as my other shoes. They seem to be lacking any cushion in the sole. The instep and the heel have worn in but also are not the most comfortable. They also cost less than my other shoes. I would recommend these for occasional use.

This is a nice, classic, dress shoe. I ordered these and the Boston Andover. I prefer the lower gloss and stitching of the J&M shoe. I wore these with a tux and they looked great. They are also great with work slacks and suites. They were broken in after about four days of wear.

I'm about to get two pair resoled. Need a another pair in the mean-time. Have to buy a pair for work.

Fit is pretty good. Size runs accurately. Leather is rather stiff and hard. Long break in (but I wore mine for 20 hours straight on the first day with good comfort, which speaks well of them. Just scuff the soles before wearing.

Pros: great looking, durable. Cons: not very comfortable, my feet get tired after only 15-20 min of walking, leather is difficult to break in.

Nice looking, but too narrow. These were EEE but not wide enough for my foot. Florsheim EEE so far has been wide enough.

Although the Melton's are very nice shoes they felt a bit tight on the width. But after using my shoe trees for a few days along with leather conditioner they fit nicely.

Good Zappos service. Good price on an all-leather shoe. Not the most comfortable "high-end" shoe but reasonable, and look sharp.

Sharp pair of shoes for the price. Very nice, and look sharp. They aren't replacements for the $300 J&Ms that you would purchase, but I think these will wear well for a few years. Leather bottoms are sharp.

Shoes look great and are pretty comfortable. The leather is a little harder than I anticipated. I purchased these instead of the Allen Edmond Fifth Avenues because of the huge difference in price. We'll see how they hold up! Overall, happy with the purchase.

I am happy with this pair primarily because it has a 3AAA size which works well for me. I got a lot of help and encouragement from the sales persons I worked with to zero in on the right shoe for me. Thanks guys!

The shoes look good and are well made. The first pair I ordered were two small. At the next size, however, they are slightly larger than I'd like.
