Top Johnston and Murphy Shoes

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

When someone's been making shoes for over a hundred years, you know they're doing something right.

Since 1880, Johnston and Murphy have been manufacturing high-quality shoes and today, their diversified line allows you to pick from black tie all the way to casual weekend wear.

So I did... pick from that diversity.

Here's my top picks in Johnston and Murphy shoes.

1. Johnston & Murphy - "Beckem Panel Toe"

When you're looking for something a little different at the office, try the "Beckhem." Dressy, without being stuffy, it's available in the nice color of antique chestnut.

2. Johnston and Murphy Shoes - "Shuler CS Venetian"

The "Shuler CS Venetian" is a great looking slip-on casual. It sports contrast stitching, molded latex rubber sole, and a full-grain tumbled leather upper. Great with jeans or khakis, you have your pick from black or tan.

3. Johnston & Murphy Boots - "Kennard Gore"

Attractive and casual, the "Kennard Gore" is a perfect cool weather boot, if you're looking for a laid-back footwear that's not sloppy. I'm crazy about the rust suede version, which would look great with jeans or casual pants.

4. Johnston & Murphy - "Melton"

This is the classic dress shoe. If you're dressing to impress, the "Melton" is your shoe.

5. Johnston and Murphy Shoes - "Kocher"

What a great looking casual shoe! It's a simple loafer, but it's one of those really good-looking loafers that you can never seem to find when you're looking for it. Available in dark brown or tan, either is the perfect way to dress up jeans or make dressier pants more casual.
