Great shoes. Need to break in. Heels are too stiff. Need softer heel

Disappointed. Had much better J&M shoes. Too bad they aren't made anymore in USA. Better quality when they were made in USA.

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.

I were this shoes to work, they need to Break In because there are like a hard like rock, but durable. I have a black and burgundy color, there are very elegant shoes.

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.

Good looking shoe. Good workmanship. Decent price. Not comfortable at all. Probably wouldn't buy if I had tried them on in w store.

They were shiner than the picture (like a black lacquer finish but not quite patent leather) and the leather was much stiffer than expected. Similar to another review, the tongue was stitched to the upper which I found rather bizarre. I struggled to get the laces in and gave up at that point - put them back in the box for a return. With Zappos' free shipping I will not spend much time messing with shoes at this price point. Disregard my Comfort and Style star ratings as I never tried on the shoes, but apparently these fields are required to submit a review...

The tongue was sewn to the shoe. I could not get laces to thread. I tried it on with the laces. It felt comfortable to the sole of the foot but the tongue was hurting the front of the ankle.

While I like the style and how the shoes look, it is taking a LONG time to get them broken in. I wear them 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week. It has been 3 weeks now and I'm still wearing heavier socks for comfort reasons.

I wear this shoe 2 to 3 times a week and they still have not broken in well. I have a pair of crown aristocrats and there is no comparison. Those shoes are great! I wish I'd spent the additional $200 and purchased those. The Melton cap-toe shoes are stiff and cheap by comparison and still cost almost $200 with shipping. I'll do my due diligence and shop around next time.

I wear Allen Edmonds usually but tried J&M. Bought two colors - Black and Burgundy. Started wearing Black since last week and not too happy because of the squeak. Hoping it will go away once it breaks in. If it doesn't will return the Burgundy and go back to Allen Edmond.

Beautiful shoes but be warned - they are much narrower and smaller than you think. Add leather uppers that won't give (even with a professional shoemaker stretching them) and you'll end up selling or giving them away as I did. I bought Merrell shoes at the same size and the difference in sizing is very significant. I recommend that you buy half to one size larger that you normally do.

Great shoe! I've worn this shoe for years. Fits comfortably right away. This pair seemed to show excessive wear on the leather sole very quickly though. That is very dissapointing when you spend this much on a good pair of shoes.

There was no non skid pads on the sole of the shoe. Had to take them to a local shoe repair to add them.

Purchased what was described as a burgandy show on the website, but received bordeaux. When I inquired I was told they are the same color. The truth is that this color is much, much darker than the color in the catalog. I had to return them.

Great classic shoe that will last a while - only problem is that they squeek when I walk! I feel like I am in an old episode of Cheers anytime I walk down the hall at work.

The bottom lining peeled back on the first pair after about 3 wears. I had to go to the J & M store and exchange for a new pair. The store manager asked if it was ok to send them off for repair - I was a bit disappointed she would dare ask that question since they were out of the box defective. She did immediately provide a replacement pair when I said I didn't prefer having to take them to a repair shop to have the lining glued down. It was unfortunate and a hassle that didn't sit well with me. I haven't had any issues with J & M so maybe I was just a bit unlucky.

Dear J&M,I have bought this shoe many times and I wear it everyday to work. I recently bought a new pair and there are some major inconsistancies. What I have noticed is that the shoe is made in two places (Mexico and India). The shoe I get from Mexico is perfect, fit's like it should/ like a glove ... no complaints. The same shoe I get that is made in India is not good .... does not fit the same ... wider in the middle and back half. Slips up and down on the back-end/ back side of my foot and makes a lot of noise. This is the second pair I have gotten like this ... and both made in India. The same pair I get that is made in Mexico is perfect. I still might go back to the store and request a refund or the same pair made in Mexico; however it would be better if J&M contacted me directly for a refund or another pair. I am seriously considering changing to another brand; however I don't want to because I love this shoe. Please advise?Thank you,Bob Lamkin[...]

Good shoes- can't say they are the best I've ever owned, but I like them nevertheless. They run just a shade big; as my feet warm up in them, they tend to squeak when I walk. I'm sure I'll have them for a long time. I was a little aggravated that none of the shoe stores around carried my size (13), as I really would have liked to have tried them on before ordering (not necessarily J&M's fault, but problematic).
