I wore Cole Haan for quite along time. There was at time I gave J & M a shot. To my surprise the JM's last nearly twice as long. They are basically the same shoe. However Johnston Murphy is my first choice. Also have a few pairs of Oxfords. Same deal. Super value, style and durability..

I have been wearing Cole Haan Pinch Tassles for twenty years but am unhappy with their decision to make them only with Nike Air soles at a $70 add; not worth it and ruins the fit of a loafer.
Recently switched to the J&M Hayes Dress Loafer and find them to be equal in quality and style and a much more reasonable price.
They do run slightly narrow so I wear a Wide (W) size in these in Black and Burgandy and they are very comfortable.
I wish I could get the Mahogany in a Wide but it would seems that Dillard's does not carry them in stores or make them available online.

I have discontinued purchasing Bass shoes due to their poor quality and disregard for customer satisfaction. I have found that Johnston & Murphy have the styling and quality in many of their shoes that I had previously admired in Bass shoes for +40 years. My only regret is that I wear a 7.5 D or M which is often difficult to find at Dillards in the styles I like. I had to purchase an 8M which is not my ideal fit. It would be very nice if they were made in the USA.

My wife bought me these for Christmas, and I've been wearing them for the past few days to work. They were a little stiff the first day, but after that they feel like they were meant to be on my feet.

I've owned several pairs of J&M shoes over th years, and she looked at my current J&M wingtips to get my size (11 1/2) the salesman told her to try a half size smaller, which she did, and they fit perfect.

One thing that I've noticed for years is that my foot is very brand dependent on sizing. I wear a 12 1/2 in Nikes, and down as far as 10 1/2 in Clark's. With those being the outliers, I believe 11-11 1/2 is about right for my shoe size.

Wish they had a rubber (non slip) insert in the sole of the shoe.

The first pair lasted three years. I've had another pair for two years. Had them re-heeled and later half soled. Getting ready to buy another pair because I've worn out the insoles. They still shine well and look good.

I believe they are sized wrong - to narrow.

Shoes too stiff-have not gotten them on yet-will try again-nothing flexable about them-stiff & hard when trying to bend.
