I base this review on my previous purchase of these shoes first, then my experience on my most current purchase.  I first bought the Harding panel toe shoes form Johnston and Murphy 3 years ago.  They felt comfortable to wear all day, stylish, and didn't need much if any breaking in.  Fit was great.. I received many compliemtns on the shoes.  After 3 years, I finally had to replace them, which also speaks alot of a shoe that was worn at least 3-4 days per week.  The price on Amazon was great, and based on previous experience, I bought them.  Upon putting them on, they felt different. the leather was stiffer, they felt bulkier.. it just wasn't what I remembered.  I matched the size (10.5), width (D), model number (on inside of shoe tongue):  everything matched except that these shoes were made in India and my original pair were made in Romania.  Still perplexed, I put the shoes side by side and the new pair looked strangely bigger, wider, bulkier.  When I put the shoes together, heel to heel, I found that the new shoe was approx 1/2 size larger, if not slightly more, and they were a bit wider.  In the end, I was disappointed with my purchase and sent them back. So the three stars I give is not quite indicative of my recent purchase, but rather a mixed rating between the new and old.  Something slipped with J & M over the past couple of years.
