Customer Reviews Florsheim Kenmoor Wingtip Oxford

First, I have to say that I have worn Florsheim Lexington (or similar) shoes since the early 1980s with no issues. The Kenmoor are the worst shoes I have ever owned. The first pair developed an annoying click in the right heel about two weeks after I got them. I brought them to a cobbler (assuming a repair would be cheaper and easier than sending them back). He declined to repair them saying as it was a mid-sole issue, the repair likely would not last. So I contact Florsheim to do the repair, but they too declined. Persistence paid off, or so I thought, and they finally exchanged them. The first replacement pair were loafers! Those were sent back immediately; the second replacement were Kenmoors like I returned. That pair, even though worn only two to three days a week, quickly wore through the leather on the topline and later developed a loud squeak in the mid-sole. Sorry Florsheim -- I was a customer for 30+ years, but I work too hard to have shoes last a few months.

This is a comfortable and handsomely designed shoe, but the quality of the finish is atrocious. The leather was hard and plasticky and came out of the box with scratches and errant dye spots. The edges of the soles were dinged. For a shoe at this price point, the quality was simply unacceptable.

The worst shoe I even had. It is just so uncomfortable and so painful to wear it.

The bottom of these shoes are made of wood. I assume they are for ballroom dancing.

Good looks don't equal comfort. Great looking shoe; HARD leather uppers; the sole of the foot feels impaled on an unyielding surface!
