Customer Reviews Johnston & Murphy McGuffey Casual Plain Toe Sneaker

I enjoyed the shoes so much I ordered a second pair in a different color

I love the McGuffey plain toe. This is my 4th pair, I have them in several colors. They wear well, look great, and are comfortable.

These shoes have a break-in period of about 1-2 days, so don't worry if they feel slightly snug on the first fit. There is a small arch support in the shoe and the overall comfort is fantastic. The clean and casual design makes these shoes go with just about anything. These are my daily office shoes.

So today I just ordered what I believe to be my 8th or 9th pair of the McGuffey Plain Toe, so I feel immensely qualified to comment. First the negative. . . Clearly I like them a lot, aside from 3 issues in the past. 1) One pair was inexplicably cut tight in the outside toe area and my pinky toes suffered through a lengthy break-in period (I've always ordered 9. 5 M). I managed to survive. 2) On two occasions, the laces were so short that tying them securely was nearly impossible. This is exacerbated by the fact that the style of lace on this shoe seems to find its way loose too easily. The positive. . . It is a super attractive and comfortable shoe that I consider reasonably durable (and I'm pretty tough on shoes). Lastly, the look has a good range, in that it can handle both casual and more formal wear very well. Versatile is perhaps a good descriptor for the McGuffey. Strongly recommend. Good value.

This was a 2nd pair of m&j shoes. These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They are durable and worth every penny.

I got the shoes for my husband as one of his Christmas gift. I love the blue color with some brown accent, will look great with casual or dress pants, blue, brown, beige & white colors. So far my husband wore the shoes once and approved it is comfortable!

I ordered these shoes pretty last minute for a Christmas present and I was worried they wouldn't get here in time. They shipped SO FAST. I got them the weekend before Christmas and they are just perfect! My husband loves them!

I started with J&M over 2 years ago. I don't even look at any other brands anymore. From athletic shoe to casual and boots . . never had a bad pair! I think I'm up to 11-12 pairs:smile:

Great looking/comfortable shoe. Could not beat the price on sale. Love all my JM shoes.

First time wearing my new shoes for 4 hours to happy hour & dinner. Best shoes ever, they were so comfortable it felt like I wasn't wearing shoes. lol Great purchase

Amazing quality materials. I'm very comfortable.

My second pair after several years in the first. These are the most comfortable sneakers/shoes I've worn. The only reason for the new pair is that the rubber soles of the first became discolored. Love the blue. I'm glad J&M continues to make this shoe!

Very nice and comfortable shoe. The Blue Leather is very expensive looking. Would like other colors like "cognac"" or maybe a rich dark brown leather. Love the rubber soles.

wore J & M shoes for may years in the 60's and early 70's and always highly satisfied with the entire process. Got away from them in mid 80's as the soft sneaker type shoe became more accepted and also more comfortable. Recently I wanted to go back to a more conventional and dressier shoe. I ordered a pair from J & M only to find total satisfaction and the same high quality as I remember meaning to me that over the years the business model has remained the same and not deteriorated as so many have with outsourcing the product

I simply love the shoe's comfort. I work in a hospital, walking miles a day. I have struggled to find a shoe that combines comfort, support and style. This shoe does it all. I've been slowly replacing all of my shoes with those from J&M. They are worth the cost.
