Well past its glory days as far as quality is concerned. Still has some decent styles. Buy on sale if you're going to buy.

Not exactly CEO. More like FBI Special Agent.

I like them. The pairs I own are comfortable, of good quality, & last a long time.

Has gone downhill some but still pretty damn good. I recently got one pair that was shite but another pair after that is great.

They're well known for their brown and black shoes.

they're quality shoes, no doubt, but over priced.

The are a middle of the road shoe. I have a nicer pair that says hand crafted in Italy and they are not bad but like my Magnanni's better.

If you are on your feet a lot they aren't worth a shite and the sole will wear out quickly. I use trees and try to take care of mine.

Go to shoebank.com and get factory seconds Allen Edmonds for the same price. Almost every shoe they make can be re-soled.

Murphy's okay, but Johnston is a real dick.

I love my two pair that I have. I do want some Allen Edmonds next.

Honestly, if it's not a goodyear welt, it's not a quality shoe. That's the only way you're going to get something that'll last as long as you want it to.

Good designs, not necessarily great quality.

I used to be a J&M customer, but since switching to Magnanni, Allen Edmonds and Mezlan (most comfortable dress shoe I own), I won't go back.

10 / 10. Been sporting the same pair of loafers for over 4 years. Had the soles replaced 3 times. Good stuff.

I had a pair. They "clacked" when I walked on the marble floors at work. Sweet.
