Johnston & Murphy Aldrich II The Quality Has Declined

Reviewer: Dean from Virginia
I have worn this model of shoes for 30 years. The higher end J & M shoes used to be made in Tennessee by quality craftsman. These shoes used to be calf's leather and very comfortable. They are now made in India.The quality is less. I find the leather much stiffer than before and I have worn them now for a few weeks. They don't feel that great.

I purchased my J&M Melton shoes in 10.5 3E, Black to have a more professional pair of dress shoes around the office or for meetings. I own 3 other pairs of J&M shoes over the years which include 2 pairs of the Bicycle Shuler, and a Harding Panel Toe Oxford. Those two models are not refurbishable whereas this new Melton is (for a fee).The leather upper feels higher quality than the other J&M shoes I own and appears much sleeker and professional all around. The sole is quite stiff in the beginning but just after a few days of wearing the Melton, it has become much softer.Before this, I also tried a pair of Allen Edmonds Kenilworth in 10.5 3E but the width was way too small. My feet felt cramped as soon as I inserted them into the shoes. The soles were also much stiffer than this pair of Melton's. It would have been a pain to break in the Kenilworth so I returned it.I would recommend this shoe if you're looking for a nicer pair of dress shoes by Johnston & Murphy.

This is a very good shoe, with sizing that seemed right on. Fit better and truer than comparable Allen Edmonds.
