Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Shuler Causal Dress Bike Toe Oxford

These are a nice change up from a dress shoe or an overly casual shoe. The look like an adult walking shoe. Comfortable and durable. Could be a little lighter in weight, but it’s not a drawback.

Johnston and Murphy seems to be leading the way on cushioned shoes that look good. The fit is true to size. So far, I am enjoying them.

The leather is very soft and supple, but the insoles have a slight ridge that runs from the left side of the shoe to right side, about where my arches are. It wasn't painful, but it was annoyingly noticeable and might prove to be uncomfortable if I were on my feet for prolonged periods. I tried on two separate pairs to make sure it wasn't a defect, and both pairs had it, so it's apparently a feature of the shoe. I have somewhat flat feet, but I've only felt a similar insole ridge with one other pair of shoes (Bostonian Cushings). I also own the Johnston & Murphy Dobson Caps (wonderful shoes, by the way), and they do not have this issue, so this is just a feature (problem?) with this model. For me, it was a deal breaker. Perhaps arch inserts would have corrected or alleviated the problem for me (never needed them before though), but for this much coin, I shouldn't have to be correcting problems inherent in the shoe. Were it not for this issue, I would have been very happy with these otherwise comfortable shoes. You might only need be concerned if you have somewhat or very flat feet, too.
