Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Harding Panel Lace Up

It was fine until last week when it just came apart from one side. I probably have worn this shoe about 20 times since I owned it and mostly for business meetings/parties. I'm now very skeptical about the quality on J&M shoes.

I always buy J&M shoes. They have been my favorite shoe company for years now. However, this one was a huge disappointment. They look sharp and felt really comfortable the first two wears. I've now worn them 4/5 time total in 4 months and the sole is crumpled on the right shoe. I've tried fixing it but it is just stuck like that and it is so uncomfortable to walk with it. I must have got a lemon, but first time I've been disappointed in this companies shoes.

A gorgeous shoe, but it was a full size too small. I have a 16 size foot, and it did not fit in a 16 sized shoe. Disappointed to say the least as I cannot size up. Seems to run small so be careful. This could be just the huge foot that I have, but I don't usually have this problem with any other shoe. If anything, I have to take a size down.

Not sure why there is such a difference in experience. I read reviews that said they were a full size bigger and that didn't bother me. Size 14 I generally don't have an issue with shoes being too large. I really can't comment on the arch support because I couldn't even get my foot in the shoe. Even took my socks off to try to slip my foot in. Had to return them.

I have had these shoes for about two years now, and I have to say as comfortable as they are, I would not recommend them. As another reviewer posted they become and remain very slick after a month or two of wear, so much so I am surprised that I never fully wiped out or injured myself, they were that bad. With age they became somewhat less slick but I have now split the soles.

Save your money. After about a few months the leather had broken in to the point where the whole shoe was as flexible as fabric. I am retiring a different pair of Johnston & Murphy that lasted me six years and still wear two or three times a week, but this model made me lose faith in the brand. Go with a brand that is not pretending to be something it is not. I have two cheaper Fratelli shoes that are much better than these in every regard.
