I searched and searched for a great pair of shoes for my husband.  He has always worn Johnston & Murphy and everyone said these were better.  He is on his feet constantly and needs something durable and comfortable.  He wore holes in the bottoms of these shoes in two months.  We didn't even bother sending them in to get fixed, they were always stiff, they scratched really easily and just weren't great.  He went back to a cheaper pair of Johnston & Murphy shoes and they have held up really well and are a lot more comfortable for him.  He has a narrow foot and he finds them a lot more comfortable for him than the Allen Edmond's shoes.
