Customer Reviews Florsheim Kenmoor Wingtip Oxford

I have had these for less than a year and wear them in a rotation. These shoes are comfortable and are great for wide feet. Upper leather broke-in very well. My only complaint is that the front of the soles are wearing quickly with one sole slightly misaligned. They also lack the slightly curved-in shaping on the outer part of the sole, mid-foot, that you find on my other classic shoes. Overall, however, I like these shoes and expect them to last once resoled.

This my first long wing, but I am very satisfied with them. They are very good quality. The construction has been rock solid for about 9 months now. They are worn almost everyday for 10 hours or more. I'm on my feet all day and they hold up well with zero discomfort. A cushioned insole would be nice, but for a leather soled shoe they couldn't be better in my experience. The leather quality is good/very good. Not excellent. They shine easily. The cognac color is odd for me. It has taken some getting-used-to. It is actually slightly lighter in person than the web-site image suggests. I've used a pure brown shoe polish on them to darken them a bit, and it gives them less of a "new" look. It also makes it easier to wear them with browns. Although I wear these shoes at work primarily (I'm a surgeon), they could easily be worn with jeans or a suit. I've done both. Overall, I'm very satisfied. I wouldn't consider buying the alternative brand that is twice the expense. I'd rather have two pairs of these.

Not the quality they use to be when made in the US.

Ageless style

The shoes are well-made,comfortable,and durable; hard to find a wingtip as nice. I'm just disappointed that right out of the box, you can tell that the leather looks "cheaper" and more plastic-like than they did 10 years ago. I've had 3 pairs and they used to be thicker, better leather. Still nice, but not what I was expecting.

Some things never change, meaning we know what going to get every time, with Florsheim it's great quality and excellent workmanship. Trendy is not a smart way to spend your money stay with the classic's and you want go wrong.

It’s a quality shoe. Definitely a tight fit for the size and since the leather is very hard, takes time to break in. However, comfortable and almost indestructible once broken in.

I bought a pair of the burgundy Kenmoor some time ago and I want to love the shoe, but the corrected leather won't let me. I get the cost cutting, but why would a shoe company cut costs on its flagship product? To add insult to injury, they've discontinued the pebble leather offerings, so we're stuck with black and burgundy standard.

When I first bought my Kenmoor's a year ago I was pleased. They fit okay, but with time two things happened. First the leather "gave" in such a way that my foot would move around in the shoe. A size 9D as with every other shoe manufacturer has been a Size 9D. Not bigger. Then about two weeks ago, the leather right behind the "wingtip" started to tear. Yes, tear! Florsheim has amazing customer service since I submitted photos and style number etc. and they gave me a refund in the form of a gift card. However, I keep reading about sizing problems and now the leather faulting (on an expensive shoe). Don't know If I want to invest in an another pair.

The goodyear welt and double leather soles are like putting lipstick on a pig. The uppers are constructed of "natural leather" a term that has no required meaning. What it certain is that "natural leather" is not "full grain" or "top grain" leather. I was hoping that the textured grain surface would mean that a lesser grade of "full grain" or "top grain" leather would be used. Instead, the material used appears to have a top layer of plastic.

I will gladly frequently order these shoes if you add more width sizes. i.e. widths "E" & "EE". Presently you only offer extremes it's either "D" or "EEE". In my case one width is too narrow and the other is too wide. Remedy this situation and you have yourself a new and continuing customer.

I bought the Kenmore II in brown and they are great. Decided to get a pair in black but these are disappointing. First of all the leather looks like plastic. I'm pretty sure it's Corrected Grain Leather which is a real disappointment and should have been disclosed. Not only that the insole underneath itself. That should not have gotten by quality control.
