Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Waterproof XC4® Tanner Plain Toe

Pros: Probably the most comfortably shoe I have used for work. I transitioned from Ecco after using their shoes for many years. Nice looking, good overall quality. Easy to maintain. The leather is very resilient and keeps it good appearance through time. Cons: Some of the sections of the sole started to come loose, I glue one back together, it worked. It had me concerned enough not to buy it again. But I still did, maybe with this feedback it can be improved. With that fixed, it would be 5 Stars.

Great looking shoe but only giving 4 stars because I expected that the shoe would be more of a walking shoe. They are very rigid and provide great support all around but heavy and go a little high up to the ankle bone causing some irritation at that point. Perhaps they run about half a size too big.

Good looking shoe that can go casual or "more" dressed up. Unfortunately for me, the M/W sizing does not work. Wide is not wide. And pulling out the insole to make these "wide", just removes some of the padding. If you have a narrow foot, you will love these shoes. If you have a wide foot, I recommend a different shoe.

Break in is hard. I've had for two weeks and the heal is still very still. I love J&M shoes and think they will break with wear.

This was the only pair of 5 that I tried that lived up to the wide fit. I like that it is waterproof as well and is comfortable -- still new so a little stiff but I expect that to change.

Very well built shoe. Very comfortable. The bottom is a bit too shiny like a sneaker but again comfortable.

Took a while to break them in to my feet

It seems your sizing keeps changing. I have purchased 6x pair of this style abs the sizing is inconsistent. If you could qualify control this issue you would win more customers

I had to order these as the were unavailable in the store. They are a great looking shoe, as are most of J&M's mens offerings. The issue was the fit wasn't the same as one of a different color I did try at the store. For my size 11.5, I experienced some heel lift. Sadly, I returned them.

They are a really great shoe. Very comfortable, as a pilot I end up walking through airports a lot sometimes even running. These are like wearing tennis shoes. One problem I have with them. Shoelaces don't last long. I had to buy new ones within a month. They just ripped. So have a spare shoelace with you in your bag.

Beautiful shoe, but it didn't fit my wide foot. There is a liner than can be removed to widen the shoe but it's still not as wide as the W width. The Johnstone and Murphy wide fits like a glove. This pair was very tight. If it ever comes in a W, I will buy a pair.

Runs a bit narrow

Good look. Will see how they fit after they are broken in.

Nice durable show. Not as comfortable as it appears.

Great look and comfort. Break in period is long with a lot of rubbing around ankle and heal area.

Good fit, good look, good shoe.

IMO these are great looking shoes and extremely comfortable. However, I can't tell you how disappointed I am that the shoestrings have frayed and are about to break after only 3 months of occasional use.

The shoe strings are extremely too long. The shoes are not as comfortable with the dual width feature installed and too loose and not as comfortable when it is taken out. The width feature should be two different shoes not incorporated in the same pair of shoes.

I got a pair of these just over a year ago, and they are very comfortable right out of the box. But, 14 months later, the glue has come apart on my right shoe, so now my sock gets wet whenever I'm wearing these with the ground wet. I paid just over $220 in a mall for these shoes, and I would have expected them to last a lot longer! I mostly sit up front in an airplane most of my day so I'm not hard on my shoes. I expected more.

very comfortable, but color fades very quickly....

Laces are too long. Fit is a bit loose. Should've found a store or purchased something else.

They were great for a day. Then the left shoe started to rub my heel. They seem to run low in the back. I have talked to others and they all say you have to wear thick socks or you will get blisters. I love how they look and felt for a day before they started to hurt.

bought 3 new pair of XC4 to replace last ones... all were made different and did not fit the way I fell in love with before

Size fit smaller than other J&M shoes. Not as comfortable as other XC4 models

Shoes are Great. After about three wearings the laces blue outer layer stripped away and the bright white inner layer is showing. Very Disappointing
