What does every U.S. President from 1850 onward have in common? Every single one wore a custom pair of Johnston & Murphy shoes! It all started with the founding of the company more than 160 years ago. Founder William Dudley was selling handcrafted shoes out of his basement, quickly building a reputation for high quality workmanship and an attention to detail that could be found nowhere else. When Dudley offered to make a pair of shoes for newly-elected Millard Fillmore, the president accepted, kicking off a long friendship between the company and the White House. Tailored to each president’s preferences, these Johnston & Murphy shoes have become an American tradition. For Lincoln, it was a pair of lace-up boots in size 14, the largest of any president before or since. For Kennedy, timeless black wingtips. President Obama, a Lincoln fan, received a pair of black oxfords that took design cues from Lincoln’s boots.
Johnston & Murphy shoes have earned the appreciation of men all over the world, not just in the Oval Office. Stylishly designed and expertly crafted from the finest leathers, Johnston & Murphy men’s shoes are a perfect choice for the ambitious professional. Loafers, slip-ons, boots, derbies, and oxfords—Johnston & Murphy has the shoes you need for every occasion. It’s no wonder that 31 presidents have trusted their feet to Johnston & Murphy. For the quality you demand and the comfort your feet deserve, look no further than Johnston & Murphy shoes for men.
