Welcome Back, Johnston And Murphy!

One of the bestselling line of shoes that Kiskadee has ever carried is Johnston and Murphy. Before I owned Kiskadee, I had never really looked at them. Once I did, though, I loved them! Despite having a reputation for men's shoes, they actually make cute and stylish women's shoes. I have some foot problems, so I was excited to give them a try and discover a new favorite. 

However, a few years ago, my rep broke the news to me that they were temporarily halting wholesale for Women's shoes. They wanted to tweak the entire process… from wholesale ordering to shipping to the actual styles themselves. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. My customers were disappointed too. Well, lo and behold, as I was walking around Coterie a few weeks ago, I happened upon the line in the shoe area. Of course, I had to stop and find out what was going on. Long story short, I have a new rep, and he's been trying to get a hold of me, but he had the wrong email address. I was happy to discover that they still had some amazing fall styles. I ordered four cute pairs, and by the time I got home, three of them were here. I am so excited to have the line back in the store.

It's helpful that my foot is around the same size as the samples. I wear a 6.5-7, and most of them often fit. I like to know that they are indeed comfortable. All of these new styles are, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a few pairs for myself. I love this boot! It is so cozy with the shearling lining. You can flip up the shearling or fold it down, and the leather is really soft.

The Julie Shearling Boot, $198

I don't find anything with a heel very comfortable these days, but I can vouch for these. 

The Trista Mule, $168

These booties have just the right leopard print. Subtle, but at the same time, they stand out. And of course, they are comfortable.

The Trista Bootie, $198 

When I saw these loafers, I had to have them. Cute, versatile, and oh so comfortable. They will be here within the next week or so.
