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.

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.

You see this 100% of the time in threads about older brands. I always wonder if it's actually true, or if it's just a psychological fallacy due to either conditioning or the person changing tastes and/or being able to afford better shoes.

I mean, you will never see a thread about a mid-level brand that's been around without this comment. It can't always be true.

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

Try the slip-ons, there's no strings attached.

I think J&M soles are rubber, which is a dealbreaker for me.
