Founded in 1850 in Newark, New Jersey, by English shoemaker William J. Dudley, Johnston & Murphy built its reputation on durable, well-crafted footwear. The brand is famously known as the “Shoemaker to the Presidents,” having created custom shoes for every U.S. president since Millard Fillmore. This unique heritage underscores a deep commitment to classic American style and quality. While rooted in traditional men’s dress shoes, featuring Goodyear welt construction, the company has since expanded its offerings to include a full range of men's and women's footwear, apparel, leather goods, and accessories.
