    WARNING: ONLY SELLING *USED* PAIRS

    4 years ago
    First, I love my current pair of Howells. HOWEVER, these are USED SHOES they're selling now. I tried to order a back-up pair since they're on sale and *twice* J&M SHIPPED ME HEAVILY USED SHOES with dirty soles and scuffed and creased uppers. If you're willing to pay this much for USED SHOES, they are comfy, I just prefer to break in my own shoes.

    Great shoe, unfortunately a terrible sole. Bought two pair in different colors. After about 3/4 months wearing them 3 days a week these “crepe” soles pick up any and everything stepped on. They turned dark brown then black. No way to clean them. The material wears quickly and uneven. It’s a shame because they are great looking and very comfortable. My advise, buy any of these incredible shoes, but avoid at all costs these type of soles.

    Loved these shoes

    So comfortable and great looking. Unfortunately by dog loved them as much as I do. My blind Weimaraner, Dane, found these amongst many others and devoured the left shoe. It must speak to the quality of the leather. So, I am buying another pair. Thanks Dane!

    Disappinted in my Howell Plain Toe Shoes

    5 years ago
    I have been a big fan of Johnson and Murphy shoes for many years and have owned many many pairs through the years. Not long ago I purchased a pair of the Howell Plain Toe shoes in Navy. Nice looking very comfortable shoe. Soon after I purchased these shoes I noticed the gummy style sole got VERY discolored almost day one. I wasn't happy but figured it is fine since these are J&M shoes. These soles are very poor. Over a short period of time these tan colored soles turned black fast and are completely worn out. In around 6 months these shoes are no longer wearable because the sole is almost completely worn away, and I don't wear them everyday. Very unlike J&M shoes, very disappointed. I have to say my confidence in Johnson & Murphy shoes is lost. Sorry. If anyone from J&M cares I could send you photos of these poorly constructed soles.

    Professional yet casual

    I actually just purchased these shoes just yesterday and I have to say these are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had the pleasure of sticking my feet into. I stand mostly all day at my job and finding comfortable casual shoes are such a drag. Thoese shoes blew past my expectations. I wore them about 8 hrs and no pain in my knees no horrible break in period They fit like a a glove. I definitely be looking into another pair sometime down the road.

    Excellent & Smart Looking Shoe

    6 years ago
    This is an excellent shoe for both comfort and mid-upper style that is casual fancy. I have owned two pair of these and they have been very good for the past two years (one pair is a backup since you sadly discontinued this shoe). Soles are very comfortable but unfortunately turn black as they age and are used which is likely why JM recently introduced their new suede shoes with dark brown soles. Great all around shoe for wearing at home or out for a casual semi-dress evening...just don't get the suede wet and be sure to brush it weekly to keep the color and maintain cleanliness. A+

    Stylish

    You're probably wondering why I selected comfortable as a pro and poor cushioning as a con, well its because overall they are comfortable but they could've put more support and cushion in the arch and heel. I love the style and they go with many suits. I get tons of compliments on them and they are very durable. Just a warning that the crepe bottom although being nonslip they do get BLACK! But its worth it when you don't slip on oil or water. I would recommend these to anyone.
