Holes in the sole after only 2 months? Cole Haan made his loafers here in the US and they were pretty good. Very comfortable and durable. A few years ago they moved production to Mexico. There was a slight drop in quality, but they were still comfortable and durable. The pinch penny loafers that I've worn for over a decade are now made in India and their quality and durability have become unacceptable. I bought my last pair here at Revain in June. After 2 months, the sole is completely worn out, which indicates a very low quality of the leather used. I expect more from a company that's been around as long as Cole Haan. They used to build a great shoe company, they literally sold their 'soles' and now they make extremely poor quality shoes. Sad.
