Perfect Fit
Best white business casual sneakers I’ve found. Fit like a glove the first time I wore them.

Shoes suction to the floor
Open cavity in center of the sole creates a suction cup effect to floors with smooth surfaces. Shoes make a popping sound when walking and often I can feel the resistance lifting my foot off the floor. I just returned these shoes.

Johnston & Murphy response
Thank you for the detailed feedback on the Amherst 2.0 Knit Plain Toe. We're sorry about the suction effect and popping sound with the sole — this is a specific design concern we've now heard from several customers, and we've flagged it to our product quality team for review. We're glad the return process worked smoothly for you, and we appreciate you explaining exactly what happened so we can improve future versions of this style. If there is anything we can do to assist at this time, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Most versatile shoe in history!
Excellent shoe! Disappointed to see it going away. Best shoe by J&M, and I have bought your shoes for 25+ years. Light, supportive, this shoe transitions from casual to work settings easily. I have knee issues and this shoe beats all the cushion shoes on the market, and I can wear it with my suit, for travel, hikes, light exercise like biking and walking, or an easy night on the town with friends.

Smart looking shoes and comfortable
These shoes are very smart looking - well designed and look comfortable. While they have laces the heal is strong enough to use them as slip-ons so I don't have to retie them every time. I like the deep blue color with the contrasting white and leather heel and accent on the tough. They are breathable and have good support from toes to heels. They are still new and they are perhaps a little tight in the just in front of the arch but I anticipate that might stretch out over time.

Class Without the Brass
I really like the versatility of the Amherst Knit Plain Toe shoe. Although it feels like a tennis shoe, it looks more dressy as a result of the knit pattern. This is my 3rd pair of this type of shoe and have found that they wear well.
