McGuffey 2 Lace To Toe

A Fan Favorite, Evolved — The McGuffey 2 Lace-to-Toe
The Johnston & Murphy McGuffey 2 Lace-to-Toe is the newest expression of one of J&M's most beloved collections — updated with a modern lace-to-toe silhouette that reflects the contemporary appeal and enhanced comfort the McGuffey family is known for. Built on XC Foam® for superb rebound comfort and durability, crafted from premium full-grain leather with tonal or contrast trim, unlined for maximum lightness and flexibility, and finished with a latex and EVA footbed featuring cushioned arch support and a padded collar — the McGuffey 2 Lace-to-Toe is the leather sneaker that moves effortlessly from the office to the weekend without missing a step. Available in Executive Marshmallow, Tan Oiled Full-Grain Leather, and Black Full-Grain Leather, in Medium and Wide widths.

Full-Grain Leather Upper, Tonal or Contrast Trim, Unlined Construction — Modern Appeal, Premium Materials
The McGuffey 2 Lace-to-Toe is crafted from rich full-grain leather — the highest quality cut of leather, retaining its natural grain for superior durability, breathability, and a premium look that improves with extended wear. The tonal or contrast trim adds a distinctive, fashion-forward detail that gives the McGuffey 2 its modern personality — with the signature Executive Marshmallow colorway in particular delivering a clean, contemporary light leather aesthetic with suede trim that stands out from the standard black or brown dress sneaker and pairs naturally with lighter, cooler-toned casual and smart-casual outfits. The lace-to-toe construction is the shoe's defining silhouette update from prior McGuffey styles — lacing that runs the full length of the shoe's forefoot for a sportier, more modern visual profile and a more adjustable, personalized fit across the top of the foot. The unlined construction maximizes lightness and flexibility throughout, keeping the shoe airy and supple from the very first wear.

XC Foam® Midsole, Latex + EVA Footbed with Arch Support, Padded Collar — Rebound Comfort All Day
The McGuffey 2's comfort platform is built around Johnston & Murphy's XC Foam® midsole — a high-rebound foam compound that delivers superb energy return and long-lasting durability with every step, giving the shoe a responsive, bouncy feel underfoot that makes extended daily wear genuinely comfortable rather than tiring. The latex and EVA footbed adds a further layer of personalized cushioning with built-in arch support — a textile-covered base that molds naturally to the foot over time and provides lasting comfort from morning to evening. A padded collar at the ankle entry provides added cushioning and a comfortable, supportive fit around the heel and ankle throughout the day. The rubber outsole delivers reliable traction and durability on a variety of everyday surfaces, keeping every step sure-footed across office floors, city pavement, and casual weekend outings alike.
