XC4^® Prentiss Waterproof Plain Toe Derby (Men)

I have these in the full grain black, XW width. They are probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned and I’m 69 years old. I need a pair in tan, but JM only offers it up to medium width. I don’t think that will work for me so I’m not gonna order another pair but I certainly hope they offer it in wide or X wide. When they do, I’ll order one or two more pair.

I guess I like this shoe I have 5 of them. OK, not exactly this shoe, I have just one other of this exact style (black). But either the Prentiss 1 or mesh fabric. This is the latest one. I guess I will have to see long term to see how it holds up. What I like about it in order of preference. Styling: I like that the shoe can be dressed up or dress down. A person can even use it in the gym if needed. Wide Sizes: This dovetails with the comfort aspect. Availability in a wide size is one of the most important aspects for me. Comfort: the Prentiss 2 leather shoes I have are all extremely comfortable on the bottom and the top of the foot. The footbed is very comfortable. Waterproof: I use them for travel and it is so nice to not have to worry about getting them wet. Breathable: Can you believe it? Waterproof and breathable. Keeps the feet from getting overheated and rank after a long day of travel. What I don't like: All by J&M shoes are so nice looking, I don't want to wear them because I don't want to get them dirty. Really. OK, I can't figure out is the shoes looks best in the plain brown shoelaces or the two-tone brown and white. It is a quandary. ;-)
