Customer Reviews Florsheim Kenmoor Wingtip Oxford

The shoes come super shiny. First time I wore them, it looked like cheap plastic coating on the leather started to bubble up. There are also severe creases after one wear. I have several other pair of Florsheim shoes of which I have been happy with. I doubt I will buy another pair due to this pair. Very disappointed.

Excellent quality & good looks. No fit this time due to swollen ankle & feet. Would give you a 10 for your shoes on previous buys!

The piping wears out quickly unlike previous Imperials, the only model I purchase. It seems to be made of a "leatherette", not 100% leather. Where worn, I can see a fabric interior. I own Imperials that are ten-years-old that show no wear on the piping so standards have declined. Other reviewers mention this problem so I'm not imagining it. I hope that Florsheim addresses this issue soon.

I have been wearing Imperials since I was a teenager and never had a complaint about quality or quality control. In fact, I own a pair that I purchased eleven years ago that show no excessive wear. However, on two of the last four pairs I've purchased, the piping has worn out because it's no longer made of leather. Now, it's a "leatherette" product such as you might see on an inexpensive office chair. I still wear these shoes but now I'm experimenting with other brands which have not compromised their standards and when they say "leather uppers", they mean it.

The left shoe side is much taller than the right causing my ankle to bite into the leather .. very poor quality!!!

This would have been my third pair. I was very satisfied with this shoe in the past, but this pair began to wear out within months. First the heel came off, then the sole began to blister and eventually became a hole. For the money, I expected more.

I Have purchased this shoe for years. Extremely disappointed and frustrated that my size is no longer available. I have a narrow foot and size limiting shoe choice. Also, the look of the redesigned Kenmoor II sucks. The non-matching sole color makes it look like a CHEAP shoe.

These classic wingtip shoes do not compare with the Imperial wingtips of the past. The quality of the sole stitching leaves something to be desired, and the shoes are stiffer than a board. Have worn Florsheim shoes for many years and was very disappointed. Consequently, Florsheim has lost a customer.

Do NOT buy these shoes! Way too stiff and won't bend. Bought these for my daughter's wedding to go with a tux and there is no way these shoes could have been worn right out of the box for an entire day. Had a pair of these a number of years ago and could wear them immediately and were comfortable. Florsheim quality has done hill over the years.

I purchased these online. They arrived and I was dumbfounded that Florsheim allowed these to be sold. 1. The narrow leather trim, that cradles the upper just above the welt, was cut so erratically it looks wavy around the entire shoe's upper. Around the heel cup it measures 7-8mm and an inch later it recedes down to 2-3mm in height. This erratic leather cutting continues around the entire upper. Shoe looks like it was cut by blind children without hands. 2. The welt on the insole of the left shoe had a huge (pencil eraser sized) gouge 5mm deep, cut through the welt and into the sole and extends all the way up into the uneven/wavy leather trim surrounding the upper. It seriously looks like a 5 year old did the trim work. I had originally intended these to serve as my go to dress shoe for special occasions or events... but after seeing the extremely poor craftsmanship, I have relegated these for daily wear to extract the value out of these abominations as rapidly as possible. I did not return them as this pair were already an exchange for defective/used shoes they sent me the 1st time. Sadly, Florsheim's lack of quality control (on their top tier/most expensive Imperial line) forces me to shift my money preferentially towards the purchase of US made Allen Edmond's dress shoes.

The very first day I wore this shoe I noticed a scuff on the left toe. I figured I had hit it and just needed to buff it out. Upon closer inspection I noticed that it was actually a bubble. I carefully picked at it and off came a dime sized piece of reddish plastic coating. I realized that the whole shoe is coated in this plastic coating which had began to CRACK at the wear creases. A quality shoe should not come coated in plastic just to make it look better. I needed this shoe to wear to an event in two days. I took the shoes to a quality cobbler who removed the coating and had to re-dye the shoes in order to wear them. The cobbler said they are made of quality leather and what a shame Florsheim has lowered its standards and started spraying its upper line shoes with this stuff to enhance the look.

The shoes were in beautiful condition. Unfortunately, since my last purchase from Florsheim, the Imperial has apparently been redesigned with a higher outside upper, causing it to cut into my ankle. This was the problem with the less-expensive oxford models I tried on several years ago, and I was elated to discover the Imperial, which was cut lower and therefore was worth the additional cost. It still wear two paier of that model. Unfortunately, this version of the Imperial dashed those hopes, and I have returned it.

I have been buying Florsheims to wear to work for the last 30+ years. I have always been very happy with them. The quality has degraded. Even the shoe laces are absolute garbage. If it matters these shoes are Made in India.

I returned these Way bigger than the stated size 6

too tight in toes, yet nonetheless slipped in heel

Low quality. This shoe lasted about 6 months. The leather broke down quickly. I also found these shoes to be very slippery. I've never owned such a poorly made pair of shoes.

I bought two pairs of Kenmore. Unfortunately I wore one pair to work and my feet and ankles were killing me. I bought dr Schols inserts but that didn't help. Wound up in sneakers the rest of the day. Its too bad bc I like the style. But they are unwearable. I have one pair that I have not worn. The other that I wore once. What can I do?? Can I return them?

Bought these as I wanted classic styling. The shoe has that, but is the most uncomfortable I have ever bought. Wore it several days on carpeting as people suggest it needs to break in. felt it would never get to an acceptable comfort level. So back it goes. So stiff the sole does not flex at all. Would be perfect for someone in a wheelchair without feeling in their feet. I own three other pairs of Florsheims and will buy more but not this one. I have high arches. So perhaps that influences the review. Perhaps not suitable for that. Also these are quite heavy. I have a pair of steel toed Red wings that feel lighter.

I thought I was buying a quality shoe that would last several years. After 6 months of occasional use, the edge around the ankle started to wear through. It's either vinyl or a cheap corrected grain leather. Certainly not "finest leathers and craftsmanship" as described by Florsheim. This is something I've only seen occur on very cheaply made shoes. Not what I expected from the Imperial name.

I have been wearing Florsheim Imperials for over 30 years. In my most recent order I got a brand new pair of Imperials with no front insoles. I got a free return only to get a second pair ( maybe the same pair) back also with no front insoles. At that point I took them to my local cobbler and paid for insoles to be put in the shoes. DON'T ORDER SHOES FROM THE WEBSITE. I am a very disappointed customer.
