Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Activate U-Throat

Unbelievable, light airy absolutely some of the best shoes I've purchased buying another pair in grey

I just received these shoes today and put them on immediately. I ordered my regular size of 8 because that's the smallest available size and because that same size in the McGuffey GI2 Hybrid fit nicely. Out of the box the shoes look really nice--just as nice as they're protrayed on the website. They're amazingly light and very comfortable. As soon as I slipped my foot into the shoe I knew I would have the same comment as so many others have said--they run large. I could have definitely done well with a 7 1/2 and possibly a 7. I was tempted to rate the shoe less for this but decided not to since it really isn't a quality issue. The shoes seem to be of superior quality. If J&M offered a size smaller than 8, I wouldn't hesitate to box mine up and exchange them for a smaller size. I'm very disappointed that I can't do that but I like the shoes well enough that I'm going to keep them anyway. I'm going to try an extra pair of socks or possibly an insert to help with the extra room, but really, the problem is only in the length. Maybe I'll go old school and stuff newspaper in the toe. :o) Bottom line: these seem to be good quality shoes that are quite comfortable and look very nice. Some questioned the quality in their review but I think that's because they're so lightweight. They're designed to be, and lightweight doesn't mean light on quality. Only time will tell about that but J&M seems to have a bit of history and reputation behind them for support. :o)

I bought these for my husband and he loves them! He said it was like walking on air. They are a Great looking pair of shoes!

Great every day shoe. As others have mentioned, the shoes run large. I usually wear a 12, but had to return. 11.5 fits pretty well, but I think I could have even gone down to an 11.

I get lots of compliments. They are stylish and distinctive. A really comfortable casual work shoe.

I'm a size 9 in pretty much every shoe, brand and style but these shoes definitely run a half size big. Exchanged my 9 for 8.5 and the fit was fine. Very comfortable shoe and very stylish and versatile (works with jeans, shorts or khakis). There was a very slight break-in of about three wearings. After a month of wear liked them so much bought another pair in a different color.

Very comfortable casual shoe / sneaker.

Love the shoes!

Order was promptly processed and shoes were received within a few days.. Shoes are exactly what I wanted, stylish and very comfortable.. Thank you for great service and great shoes.

Comfortable, true to size and great look and style.

Great fit and comfortable

Cool and comfortable. Just what I was looking for from a longtime JM customer.

Wow! I have been crazy about your Prentiss shoe, but was looking for something lighter and sportier for the summer. The Activate does not disappoint! So very comfortable and lightweight, yet still supportive and sturdy. I haven't wanted to take them off! Another J&M winner! Thanks.

Love the shoes, they fit and look great!

Bought these for my husband. I was worried if they would be wide enough for his feet but they were a great fit. He said they are so comfortable. They look nice - not too dressy and not too casual. I am sure I will be buying more in different colors!

Great!

Best shoes ever. Don't buy them, more for me
