Near Gate 1 in Terminal 1, this is pure businesswear
Johnston & Murphy in Terminal 1 at William P. Hobby Airport leans hard into office and dress travel gear: leather shoes, belts, bags, and cleaner-looking casual pieces. You’ll find it airside after security, so you can duck in on the way to your flight without adding extra walking time landside.
The brand is known for office-appropriate footwear, so expect lace-up dress shoes, slip-ons, and some more relaxed sneakers that still pass in a meeting. Prices run solidly mid- to upper-range for an airport store, with leather shoes often well into triple digits. This is not a quick $20 flip-flop stop at Gate 1; think “forgot my client-meeting shoes at home” pricing.
Accessories are the other reason to stop: belts, wallets, and laptop-friendly bags that match the shoes. In a pinch, you can rebuild a work outfit from head to toe inside this one space in Terminal 1. Selection will be smaller than a mall location, but you still get core styles in common business sizes.
There’s no publicized lounge-style seating here, just standard retail space near Gate 1, so plan on trying shoes quickly and heading back toward your airline’s boarding area. One tip: snap a photo of the box and receipt before you leave the terminal, in case you need to handle a size swap once you’re back home.
