Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Copeland Casual Chukka Boot

Boot is tight in my usual size

I really wanted to like these shoes. My brother-in-law swears by them, so I bought a pair. I could immediately tell I either bought a size too big or they just weren't going to work with the shape of my foot. I could feel rubbing on my right heel right after I put them on and knew if I wore them for an entire day, I'd get a blister. I went to a local outlet and returned them for a size smaller, but the problem persisted. I was told they'd break in, but after wearing for a day, lo and behold, blister on my right heel. The shoes are great, but just beware of that. I returned the second and bought a different pair that I'm extremely pleased with.

Too narrow

They looked great, but I couldn't get my feet into then. The instep is too shallow for my foot. I usually have this problem with loafers but not typically with an Oxford or a chukka. In this case, they were no good for me. Too bad

I like this shoe, but what I thought would be a problem, definitely is a problem. Virtually anything leaves a scratch on this type of outer shell. The store employee showed me a polish that helps to remove a scratch so I bought both. The polish helps, but it quickly dries, and the scratch is still there. It appears there's nothing that can be done. Now, when I wear these shoes, I'm constantly making sure that nothing ever touches the shoe. This is almost impossible as your feet are constantly touching an assortment of things (sitting at a bar, while driving, under a desk, as you get in/out of a car, life). Let me know when you make the same shoe with a much more durable outer shell.

For starters, the Copeland Chukka has the feel of a premium boot. The materials, fit, and finish feels nice. I've only worn the Copeland's twice now. I wore them to dinner the night purchased, they felt and looked great. Then I wore them the next day on a shopping trip. By the end of the day I could barely walk and had blisters on both heels. Didn't think I would have an issue with these being new, but unfortunately I was wrong. So I haven't worn them since while my heels are healing.

I was Leary in what size to get since a lot of comments said it runs too small, however I still got my normal size. I wear a 10.5 in Nike , ASICS and my other pair of more dressy Johnston and Murphy so i was disappointed when I bought these and only brought these on a cruise and they are too big because now I'm stuck with them. They also are a slightly different when it comes to putting them on your feet because of the design not an issue just worth noting if it's not a style you are used to.

Runs larger than expected and just enough to send back

A bit narrow for true comfort.

Like the style, the fit is a bit narrow for my foot however. If I had tried them on prior to purchase, I would not have made the purchase.

Good looking shoe, but really tight across the forefoot. JM shoes have always been good and consistent fits for me and ordered my usual size--just not working this time. Hoping it loosens up after wearing, but hasn't happened yet.

The grey color in photo is darker than what I received. The light color with what appears to be a burnished suede toe doesn't look correct?

Runs too small over top of foot

They are good for work and fit our current look of business casual with jeans. Wish they were a bit lighter.

The back of the heel is quite abrasive and in order for this shoe to be wearable I need to use several band-aids on my heel and thick socks. Hopefully the inside layer of leather softens up over time, but in the meantime it's pretty uncomfortable. On the plus side, the sole is terrific and insole very comfortable!

I'm hopeful this pair is big improvement to my last pair which were "EXTREMELY" disappointing.....all the cons listed above applied to my last pair. I do note that J&M seems to have changed/improved the the new pair vs my last pair. This was clearly noted as my new pair were made in India vs my last pair that I was "EXTREMELY" disappointed with were made in China. One again and as a long time J&M customer I was "EXTREMELY" disappointed with my previous pair which I simply had to trash after a relatively short period of ownership/ware!!!!!!

The shoes were meant for work but on wearing them I felt like someone had tied a weight to my feet. The shoes were extremely stylish and the finish was great... J&M needs to make shoes that do not get dirty so quickly
