Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Holden Plain Toe Oxford

Narrows too much in toe box and the leather is very stiff and unyielding. When I first tried it on, it felt okay. After wearing while traveling to a business meeting, my feet were killing me.

Leather is very hard around the ankles. Causes blisters.

Color was much darker than displayed in the picture.

I really liked the look of these shoes. But, only a few hours into wearing them the very first time, I could feel blisters forming on the back of my heel (achilles area). I was surprised since I've always had pretty good luck with JM shoes. But, these were just very uncomfortable.

Purchased 10.5 size same as a previous shoe purchase different brand but they are too small. I wore them thinking they would stretch out a bit but they did not. I'm stuck with a shoe that don't fit!

I bought these in gray expecting a combination of business casual style and athletic shoe comfort. They look nice but the color seemed more brown-gray than I expected. Even worse, these shoes were anything but comfortable. I've worn them twice and my they chafed the skin off both of my heels. I already threw away the Bo's they came in but I plan to return them if not too late.

I've bought many J and M shoes from you for many years. Horrible blisters after only a few hours of wear. Very disappointing.

Purchased these Dec 22 in tan oiled full grain as a gift. Very nice classic look with the updated white sole. Began wearing them mid January 23. Out of the box, they're a little difficult to get into but no big deal assuming a little break in. However, I'm noticing they're already beginning to separate at the sole after 3 weeks of casual office wear. I would post pictures but site doesn't have that feature. Secondly, the sole material annoyingly squeaks on most tile floor surfaces. Finally, the material seems to make my feet sweat or produce moisture more than other oxfords I've had. This is my first pair of JMs and was excited but will not be buying again.

The with of the show is not the correct as the box depicts. The show run smaller as well. In addition, I am a bit to far from a Fed Ex location.

Heal shape cut very large blisters in both of my feet, first time problem with this brand as I've purchased many J&M shoes - unwearable shoes shouldn't be for sale in my opinion.

Runs small. I am still waiting for the next size bigger. No response to my email inquiries.

The style and quality are amazing but i dont think ill keep them because the cut up both my heela

Most uncomfortable shoe I've ever worn. They looked great but the leather around the heel was so rough it cut my ankle just walking around the house testing them out.

Terribly painful on both ankles. Had to change shoes after wearing for an hour to avoid breaking the skin, and that was after attempting to break in for two days of indoor wear.

I have been a long time customer. For the first time, I was not satisfied with quality of shoe. The sides are pulling away from base stitch of shoe. I have been able to wear them, but not the quality I have become accustomed to.

They are my size, I always get 11.5 in JM shoes, but they are so tight I can't wear them.

The XC4 in black has the appropriate "in style" sole but then the toe has some cheap looking embossed wingtip effect that ruins the shoe, The Holden Plain Toe upper is fine but the funky brown and gray sole trashes the look. I like J&M shoes fit and quality but can't buy these

Gorge too short could not get shoe on

The shoe is very nice looking and I received a lot of compliments however, if your are looking for a shoe that is comfortable this is not the shoe to purchase. I am flat footed and need support and these shoes offer no support and are not comfortable as your feet will hurt after about an hour. I have Purchased many shoes from johnstone and murphy that are very comfortable and durable it's just a shame that these are not. Unfortunately I cannot return them as I threw away the receipt so this one is a lose.
