These shoes are extremely well made from the highest quality materials.  They are better shoes than most of the premium Cole Haan and Allen Edmonds shoes that I have seen, and they sell for half what Allen Edmonds shoes routinely cost.  The quality Italian leather uppers will quickly mold to your foot shape and feel like slippers on your feet.  The soles have rubber inserts for traction and durability.  Enjoy your new Johnston & Murphy Harding Panel shoes.
