Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy Harding Panel Lace Up

Really nice looking shoes. Also seem to be really well made. I have to give these shoes a poor review because they are so much smaller than marked, this will be the second paid I have to return for a larger size. I started with a size 12 and returned as they were too small. I exchanged for 13; still way too small. FYI, I have another pair of Johnston and Murphy that are size 12 and they fit perfect. You probably will return at least two paid before finding the correct size, and that's inexcusable.

I ordered this shoe at a 10.5 with a medium width. Have never had a problem with the fit on any other Johnston and Murphy shoes. The shoe was so tight that I had to have it stretched twice and it still is a very tight narrow fit. Very dissappointed in the fit.

I purchased this shoe as I needed a new pair of black dress shoes. I was immediately impressed by how comfortable the shoes were. When they came in the mail, I tried them on and they felt tight (though I was wearing athletic socks). I figured they'd need a little breaking in, but was surprised when I wore them to work the next day. I'm a teacher, so I'm on my feet all day and my feet never felt sore in the shoes. It's been two days and they really haven't needed much breaking in at all. Based on this pair, I would absolutely buy more Johnston & Murphy shoes. Definitely worth the price.

Great looking shoe which is why I bought it. Leather stiff and hard to get broke in. I went through several blisters and felt like it was going to slice through my achilles tendon. After about 20 hours of break in and adding mole skin to heel, shoe is now bearable but would still not consider comfortable. Also feels very tight across top. I felt like giving up due to the pain but at this price decided to suck it up. I have never had a more uncomfortable shoe experience.

Order a full size smaller than you typically wear. I wear a 9.5, but have to order a 8.5 to have the shoes fit. Shoe comes incredibly hard. Be prepared to have a rough break-in period (about a week). After broken in, I love them. My third pair.

First off, let me say that I am a hotel manager and I am on my feet most of day, up and down stairs and on both carpeted and hard surfaces. The first few days was a break-in period. My right heel developed a minor blister. After that, the shoes have performed extremely well. Comfort level is exceptional considering the dress quality. The insoles are well designed and padded. The shoe itself is well-made. They are a loud shoe on hard surfaces and quite slick; so be careful. After reading all reviews I decided to go with a half size down from what I usually wear. Medium width is what I normally wear and what I ordered. Initially they are very snug due to the cushioned insole. Now they fit perfect with no irritation. I will see how they hold up to continuous use. If they last at least a year, I will probably purchase another pair. GO HALF SIZE DOWN. THEY WILL BE A PERFECT FIT WITHIN ONE WEEK OF WEAR. Very sharp-looking shoe!

Don't listen to the reviews that say the shoes run small. I ordered based on that and had to exchange (Zappos is awesome). The are good shoes thus far, a few months in. The heel does seem slightly tall, making it feel stiff. So far worth the price point.

Good looking shoes that are holding up well to daily workplace wear. I have few objections about them and the Zappos buying experience was painless.

These shoes are beautiful and for the most part very comfortable. They do, however, need to be broken in on the heel. The first day I wore them I did limited walking; two blocks to metro, another two block from metro to my office and then two block to a meeting. In short order I had blisters on both heels. I will take the time to break them in. Don't plan to wear them to a special event right out of the box. When they are broken in, you'll love them.

Shoes are just what I expected. I doubt I'll ever have to go to a shoe store again. Last 6 pairs I have purchased have been from Zappos. And the return policy if they don't fit is a breeze.

I have had no problems with durability. It is easy to keep this shoe polished and looking great, and they fit well with my wide feet. Excellent professional office shoes for my DC office environment.

With all the reviews that either said the shoes were a half-size too big or a half-size too small, I flipping a coin and went with the shoe maker's recommendation of sizing up a half-size. I usually wear an 11, so I went with the 11.5...and boy were they big. They kind of fit, but there was a generous amount of toe room left over. So I took a chance and ordered the 10.5 (returning the 11.5), and I found the right fit. While the toe box is narrow, they aren't too tight, but rather out of sight and dynamite. So there you have it.

These shoes were extremely stiff and tight when I first put them on. But now that they are broke in, they feel incredible. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone. I will be buying the same pair in brown leather soon!

I bought these as a gift for my husband - he loves them! They appearance is fantastic, great quality, and the cost was low on Zappos. I highly recommend!

This shoe looks really great in person. Very sexy, masculine, and goes perfectly with a suit.

Super comfortable dress shoe. Looks great with nice jeans, chinos, or slacks. The footbed is nicely padded and provides decent arch support. This is my first go around with the brand after growing tired of Kenneth Cole Reaction soles constantly cracking. Very happy with the purchase so far. Go for it!

Love these shoes. Very comfortable right out of the box. Virtually no break in time. I have wide feet and these fit me like a glove.

These are my favorite pair of shoes. I have fallen arches and it is very difficult for me to find shoes that provide sufficient arch support without inserts while also maintaining their shape. These shoes look sharp. The soles make a solid footstep sound when walking on firmer surfaces, which sounds pleasant to me - but you won't be sneaking up on anybody in these shoes.

STYLISH and COMFORTABLE! I have probably purchased and returned, 6 pairs of black shoes for my husband. This is the winning pair...finally! He recommends it and that's saying a lot!

Great shoe! It's a bit stiff at first but loosened up fairly quickly. I recommend this shoe.

Beautiful shoes - look just like the pictures. Needed a comfortable shoe for work as my feet were killing me in my Bostonians. These did the trick! Ordered a 12 and they were true to size. This is a well-made shoe and gives great support. I give my "Big Man Certified" seal of approval. Enjoy!

Recently bought an identical pair at an anchor store at the mall. Dog chewed one of them up! So I knew the exact style, size and color of the ones I wanted again. Zappos had the exact pair, at a lower cost. Very comfortable for a dress shoe once broken in. Low rise so they don't cut into your ankles. They take/hold a polish well too.

Love the look and quality of this shoe but I couldn't get it on my foot. I have a high instep and that is where this shoe didn't work. My foot went in about 3/4 of the way and topped out at the tongue. There was no way in the world my foot was going into this shoe. I wish it would have. Love Zappos though.
