Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Melton Classic Dress Cap Toe Oxford

felt 1/2 size to large. with was good. finish was way to glossy, shoe was vary stiff hard to get on.

They looked nice but I found them to be quite uncomfortable.

Quite stiff and felt tiny. I have some leather sneakers from the same brand in size 10 which felt great from the start. These dress shoes in size 10 felt like a size too small. I double-checked the size printed on the shoe thinking that they'd sent the wrong size. The printing has the right size, but I'd have about as much luck getting my feet into a toddler shoe.

A bit heavier than expected. Still breaking shoe in but upper feels a bit stiff for leather. Toes still pinch but I am hoping that the leather will get more pliable with wear and stretch to accommodate foot. Will have to review after a few more wears.

Fair warning that these shoes did not come laced and were actually a bit difficult to lace up. These shoes will require some breaking in for additional comfort, which is primarily why I decided to return these. My opinion is that I shouldn't have to break into any shoes with this price tag.

I have a high arch and it makes for an uncomfortable fit. Shies look great. Wish they were a better fit.

Impressions from a try-on, not extended wear: Moderately wide toebox, but narrow mid-foot. Nice looking shoe though. Rubs a bit on ankle. Leather forefoot is very slippery.

Second time trying these shoes and second time I've been disappointed. Just uncomfortable for me and not wide enough for my flat and wide feet.

Nice shoes, but wow are they horrible to break in—I normally have issues with the heel, but this shoe is all in the right foot above the toe knuckles. I don’t know how I feel about a pair of shoes at this price point that require this much work to *not* be painful to walk in...

I normally wear a wide, size 12 Conard Cap Toe shoes in both Brown and Black. I've had great experience with them so much that I've bought like 3 pairs of each color over the years. I'm 330lbs so I normally have to buy a new pair of I wear them everyday for work. I'm a high school administrator so they get plenty of use! I bought the Melton thinking it'd probably save me money over the long haul but they aren't comfortable at all yet and very hard to break in. The tongue is literally like "melted" to the shoe so it was very difficult to put the shoe on at first. The Conards, for me are instant for relief and feel like a cloud. Almost no need for breaking in because the tongue actually "gives" when needed. For me, and maybe other heavy set, wide foot guys, the Melton doesn't work. They do look great though and I do wear them to interviews or to church when I'll be sitting down most of the time.

Nice looking shoes. I wore them to a wedding and danced for a few hours. The sides of the shoe dug into my ankles and made them really sore the next day. I think they'd be fine if I was just walking around, but they were quite uncomfortable for dancing.

The shoe part itself fit very well and was comfortable, but the tongue was rather rigid & came up too far, so it rubbed the top of my foot.

I've had two pairs of these, the first I returned as the front fell off, the second wore through very quickly. A good occasional shoe, but wouldn't recommend for daily wear.
