I'm sure these are wonderful shoes if they fit you well. They look very well-made, and the waterproofness should be very convenient for anyone in a wet climate. The leather upper feels heavily treated, and almost feels like a fancy rubber -- super flexible and shiny. Not the authentic leather feel I've grown accustomed to in Frye or Cole Haan shoes.

These Johnston Murphy shoes run a bit big, especially if you have wider feet and want to take the insole out and wear them wider, like they advertise in their website description. I wear a 12 in Frye, Clarkes, and Cole Haan shoes, but a 12 in these were huge with no insole. I like a loose, fairly flat shoe, and these had a bit too much support with the included insole in. When you take the included insole out, there's another identical lining underneath it so it looks very durable and professional inside either way.

I ended up returning them
