This supposedly waterproof shoe on the second day of wearing and walking through light rain is completely ruined. See photo. I do not recommend!

I really like Johnston & Murphy shoes, but I really liked this shoe when it arrived for a couple of reasons. 1) the inside is padded perfectly and feels amazing - especially if you're like me and have been wearing your "every day" brown work dress shoes for too long and the insole has become flat and hard. 2) The insole is sewn together. Many shoes simply glue the heel half insole to the front which is a huge red flag (the glue will peel apart, give it 3-6 months). That won't happen here. Inspect the inside of your shoes for the real indicator of quality. I don't love the cap toe as it's a bit more of an older man style (I'm 30 years old) but I'm keeping the shoes because of the comfort and quality of the inside. I have only worn a couple of times so if there are any issues hopefully I can edit this review. There is some rubbing on my malleolus bone (the ankle bone that sticks out the sides) but I'm hoping since these shoes are leather I just need to wear them to adjust to my foot.

Great comfortable pair of shoes. I normally wear a 10.5 nike but had to size down to 9.5 to get a nice comfy feel. Comes with a sole insert for those with wider feet. Would recommend.

It's very difficult to find dress shoes that fit my very wide feet and also look decent but these shoes definitely succeeded in combining both requirements. I got mine in tan and they feel and looked great.

the shoes appear to be good quality. they definitely run 1/2 size big-long. I bought a 1/2 size smaller than normal. They also feel too narrow (medium is really too narrow). I wear a D width and medium is to narrow. They have a very squishy insole that can be removed to make them wider, but then they were too wide, so I bought a thin dr scholls insole and that made them about right.

I liked the original design on this shoe. The current version is meant for both medium and wide width with an insert to adjust the size. The problem is that with the insert in, the shoe rides too low leaving too much of a gap below the ankle. Taking the insert out leaves a gap in the back of the shoe and makes it rub the back of the foot. I guess this was supposed to be cost saving measure, but it makes the shoe unwearable. I'll be sending it back for a refund and looking for a different shoe.

This shoe was visibly worn when we received it. Do not purchase from zappos. I can't believe they do not inspect shoes before sending out to customers.

These shoes are excellent! Well made. Hardy. Had to put some arch inserts in but I also have flat feet so may not apply to all. They do great in the rain as well. No spotting, nothing. No maintenance needed! Terrific! Will buy another pair!

Sizing is right on! There will be a break in period, but once broken in, these shoes will wear like iron. All my J&M shoes have lasted a good long time!

My original order was claimed to have been delivered by FedEx over a week ago but it was never delivered. After filing a claim with FedEx and waiting to see if they would find and deliver the package, I eventually contacted J&M directly and received a very prompt response. The lady I dealt with processed an immediate replacement order sent it to me with no charge and said they would file an investigation with FedEx. My package was on the font door step when I went out to start my car so apparently they were delivered yesterday evening. I wore both shoes and belt to work today and they were both exactly as I had hoped. Super comfortable and well made of good quality materials. It was a raining day in western Washington, so the water proof leather was tested immediately. The water seemed to bead off as one would expect and did not saturate the leather whatsoever. I'm really happy with the shoes and belt and even more impressed by their customer service. Thank you.

I had been looking for comfortable shoes for months and tried on over 100 shoes. Tried this shoe on at a department store, but they were.sold out on new ones. J&M s website was helpful and the shoes were delivered in timely manner. Loving the shoe and going to order it in brown as well.

Because of the awkward size of my feet (13 1/2 extra wide) I frequently have problems finding shoes that fit. These not only fit perfectly but they are comfortable.

I bought my first pair of this shoe about 10 years ago and this is my 4th pair (thanks for the warehouse full of them somewhere). This is a good show for me, I wear them for work mostly and they hold up pretty well.
