Work doesn't look like it used to. Suits aren't necessarily the uniform today. And Johnston & Murphy knows it. Since 1850, Johnston & Murphy has made the shoes that work in the corner office and play at the corner bar. Much has changed in these 155 years. Our name has changed. Styles have changed. Locations have changed. But one thing has remained constant: Johnston & Murphy continues to be a pillar of classic workmanship and a beacon of American style with a commitment to quality, craftsmanship and innovation that set the standards for men everywhere. We realize that men today have to walk the line between modern and classic, cool and comfortable. And that dressing to impress is as important today as it was in 1850. We've spent many years helping professional, affluent men do just that. And we're not finished yet.
