Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Melton Classic Dress Cap Toe Oxford

Fits very nicely and is quite comfortable.

I have been purchasing 1 or 2 pairs of the Melton cap toe for the past several years and I'm normally pretty pleased with the wear and performance -- especially for the value. With the last two pairs, though, I've experienced cracking at the crease just below the laces that started almost immediately after purchase. I regularly use shoe trees and in this case they did nothing to prevent the creasing and cracking. I'll be giving them one more try and then I'll be moving on to another brand.

I was a huge fan of a different pair of dress shoes I bought from J&M last year but they were discontinued! I was looking for a similar style and settled on the Melton. The biggest con is how quickly they wear out! I only wear them twice a week and walk a few blocks from the train station to the office and I had to replace tips and heels (about $45) in just a matter of months!

The shoe is not the same quality and feel of Italian calfskin leather. It looked like. A patent leather shoe. I've purchased your dress shoes for years and the workmanship and quality is just not the same.

I do love the look of the shoe, but they are undoubtedly too tight and stiff on the foot.

I wish you offered a 4E width! After a while the shoe strings loosen when they should remain tight after they've been tied.

I am retired now. When I was working I used to wear Johnson Murphy all the time to work. In this days we had a Johnson Murphy store in Austin. I always made sure the shoe fit before I left the store. I bought this pair on line. If we still had a store in town I would never have walked out with this pair. I think I can make these shoes work for me by using oversized shoe trees and stretching the shoes to make them just a bit wider. If not I will simply throw them away or give them to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. I do not like the tongue being sewn to the side of the shoe. It is very inconvenient. From past experience, this is a very good shoe.

Runs narrow. The tongue is stitched to the side, which is not good for me because I wear a full orthopedic insert.

Let me start by saying your customer service has been great so far! But the shoes are not made like they used to be made. We ended up ordering a second pair with EEE width. They still were too narrow. The pair of J&M cap toes my husband wears now is 10E and when compared against each other, the sizes differ by an obvious amount. We returned them.

Have worn this shoe for years in my corporate life and found them comfortable and versatile. However, this recent pair I purchased on sale are very stiff. The crease formed on the right shoe is digging into my big toe causing a sore spot. Am trying shoe trees to stretch the shoe top in the hopes that will stretch the crease and eliminate the discomfort. Otherwise, a good looking shoe that goes with just about everything even light blue jeans and a blazer.

Very disappointed that the flannel cloth to shine the shoes is dirty as if someone else had this box of shoes. Never expected anything like this from Johnston and Murphy

Shoes are very hard, shoes make noise when walking, the super hard leather is stiff and uncomfortable and causes blisters. Looks like your company used to make quality shoes in the old days but quality has gone down the tubes. Look Is okay, but don't like that the tongue is stitched to the vamp. Very hard leather, and shoes come unlaced which is inconvenient.
