Review on Johnston Murphy Mens Cresswell Venetian Men's Shoes by John Bailey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than I expected!

With the exception of athletic shoes, I wear Allen Edmonds almost exclusively. However, AE didn't have the Venetian loafers I liked, so I looked for alternatives and found these J&Ms. Before ordering I checked them out at a local mall but they were significantly higher than the price on Ebay. I wanted to try them on, but there was only one seller and a few buyers waiting for me. I knew I could return them to Ebay if I didn't like them, so I decided to go ahead and order them. I wear 10D on AE and 9.5 on Cole Haan so decided to try 10 in these. They arrived just before my business trip to Las Vegas, so I took them with me (they're great for airport security, btw). If you're familiar with Vegas, you know you walk a lot. I only wore these J&Ms for the 4 days I was there. They were surprisingly comfortable and didn't need to be broken at all. I almost felt barefoot! They look great with khakis, jeans and even gray trousers. I'm very satisfied - I just hope they last a long time. The quality seems very good, so I'm optimistic. The time will show.

Pros
  • very comfortable but delicate, short-lived but worth it
Cons
  • This was a gift for my 24 year old son, nice shoes but they were too loose in width.
