Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Activate U-Throat

I ordered another style (amherst u-throat) that fit perfect and did not expect this different style to run smaller and more narrow. My recommendation to a friend would be order a 1/2 size larger.

They are very

Very comfortable

Shoes are quite comfy and very white.

I love the shoes, but the suction cup effect on the soles is SO annoying. Otherwise, I'd want to give them 5 stars. Won't buy another pair unless the sole is redesigned and can't believe they didn't catch this during quality testing.

Shoes are beautiful and well made, sizes just run a little large

Never before I had to "break them " First time I wore these ,ended up with blisters.

Shoes look great but seem to be cut higher in ankle area than comparable tan shoes. Plan to take to shoe and speak to sales about cut and if another alternative or adjustment

Narrow near my toes

These shoes are wonderful. I actually ordered a replacement pair for ones I wore out. Order online and received a new pair from the local Raleigh store. They were new, but obviously tried on or looked at previously. No biggie. However, the air holes on top of both shoes were grossly uneven. Tried contacting JM corporate for an exchange, no response. Tried the local store and they were out of this shoe. Setup a return via the included receipt. No where did it give an option for an exchange. Now I have to wait for it to process and repurchase.

Toe box is too wide.

The quality was extremely underwhelming. I've exclusively worn JM's for the last 6 years and these were disappointing. Sad to see the price keeps increasing and the quality keeps decreasing.

Color did not work for me. Returned and bought another brand.

after a few weeks of wear, the black trim is peeling off, can't really wear them anymore to work,

Not quite as nice looking as similar shoes from other manufacturers.

I think the shoe itself is very comfortable and breathable. I have the blue full grain and the light blue trim peels off after limited use. I love the shoe, but the appearance makes it unwearable after a few times wearing it. I own many JM shoes that I love. I have the tan and they are great since they don't have any color trim.

I would have preferred that the sole be white instead of gray.

Shoelaces too short Seems narrow for a medium width

Not quite the support of the prentiss my favorite.

the sneaker isn't cut high enough in the back it keeps pulling off the back of my heel when I walk which started to irritate the back of my heel above my ankle

I feel like I'm walking out of the back of the shoes when I wear them.

great looking shoe. just runs small with a small toe box. but i will keep them.

Too bulky
