Slippery shoes
These are one of the most unsafe shoe when walking in the rain or any slight wet to damp surfaces
They are super slippery and sometimes they have a suction cup sound when walking although this does nothing in wet areas

Great shoe, but the suction cup can’t be avoided
I bought these shoes about eight months ago love the shoes. They are so comfortable but with that said there’s a suction in the heel that takes the shoe off your foot so I have stopped wearing them just because of that.

I have 3 pairs and I am buying another pair
I have 2 pairs of the Amherst version 1, and I have a pair of Amherst version 2. I am about to buy another Amherst version 2. Overall I am quite satisfied.
I like the slip in ability of the version 2, but the version 1 appearance worked better for casual and business. So I would love to see a version 3 that better emulates the version 1, but fits like version 2.
I gave 4 stars because I often can't find what I want in a size 14 no matter where I shop the Amherst. I would purchase more if they had the inventory....sigh. And obtw keep the sales going but especially when you have my size.

Comfy but "suction cup" sole
Hate giving these 3 stars because I am a huge J&M fan but while these are super comfortable, they have a "suction cup" sole that creates a popping noise with every step on solid surfaces. Huge design flaw, so much that in really dislike wearing them.
Johnston & Murphy response
We're glad to hear you love the feel of these, but we're sorry to hear that these Amherst 2.0 Knit Plain Toes are "suction cupping" when you walk! This is certainly not intended to occur and we can understand how that would be frustrating. It looks like our team discussed this issue with you and came to a resolution just the other day, but if there is anything else we can do to assist with this, please feel free to reach back out!

Very comfortable shoe that works with business casual attire or great for casual dress. Comfort and style are what I have come to expect from Johnston & Murphy! Great shoe!
