Web ID: 8897328I'm enjoying these boots
I am still breaking these boots in, but they feel and look great. It is a little loose in the back, but putting on thicker socks have helped that.

Narrow!
Way too narrow. Same size as other J&M shoes I wear and I wasn’t close to getting these on. The design is a little too plain for me but they were similar to an older pair of Clark boots I had so I gave them a try...no dice and I really wanted them to work.

Excellent Boots
I wore Frye boots for years, their dressier styles, until the company changed their manufacturing, quality fell, and I roamed bootless, seeking a go-to replacement model from brand to brand, over perhaps the next decade... until I found the J&M McClain Chelsea Boot. Not to compare one brand against the other or a brand against itself per se, but today’s J&M McClain Boot is not only the best boot I’ve found in my search. It is also superior to other J&M shoes I’ve previously owned. The boots are comfortable, durable, handsome, and well-made. Alternating between my black and brown pairs, I now wear my McClains almost every day. The slight heel provides excellent arch support, similar to boots of older vintage styles, and the overall look of this new boot is both classic and modern. I’m a hard customer to please, and I am absolutely, unconditionally delighted with these very nice boots. Very importantly, they are easy to put on and to remove, a tremendous advantage among habitual boot wearers.

97% Perfect
I love these boots! I have been wearing them at times in the summer and they are comfortable. The lining is soft leather and looks that it won’t quickly wear out. They are very well made and feel robust, a shoe of quality. The color is beautiful. I have two criticisms. The pull-tab could be a bit longer, maybe just ¼". The other is that part of the heel is hard and slick; you need to be careful about slipping and falling until the surface roughens a bit.

Classic Chelsea With No Frills
Just received mine. I chose them because it was one of the few designs that has no brogue or any ornamentation other than the heel. They feel quite well cushioned and if we ever get out of quarantine, I can’t wait to wear them out! Size wise, they ran exactly the same as my older pair of J&M cap toe dress shoes, albeit a touch more narrow, a little break in should sort that out.

Great Boot
Comfortable and durable. I’ve worn a pair for the last 2 years virtually 24/7. Can wear with Jeans or dress up with a suit. Brilliant!

Runs big
These are really nice, but they run big and crease really bad after just a few steps. It’s kind of sad that they’re pristine for literally minutes
Customer review from Johnston & Murphy
great, runs slightly big
Perfect shoe in all aspects except I should have ordered a half size down from my normal size, toes have too much room
