Story & heritage
The Upton line appears repeatedly across Johnston & Murphy’s current best-seller and dress-shoe pages, making it one of the clearest signatures in the modern assortment. The Wingtip takes the family’s comfort-first platform and wraps it in a more decorative, office-ready upper.
That matters because Johnston & Murphy has long sold classic business footwear, but Upton makes the category feel less formalist and more usable. The wingtip version keeps the heritage cues while softening the experience for travel days, conferences, and long stretches on foot.
Materials & craft
Officially, the shoe is built in full-grain leather with refined details, a double-stitched leather welt, Vachetta leather accents, leather and antimicrobial mesh lining, and a removable memory-foam cushioned insole. The TRUFOAM sole is the major comfort differentiator, designed for lightweight flexibility and rebound.
How to choose & style
This is the pair to choose if you want broguing without old-fashioned stiffness. Tan reads best with grey trousers, washed tailoring, and unstructured jackets; black keeps the same comfort proposition in a more conservative office wardrobe.
