These shoes are THE BEST! I first saw them as ads while browsing Instagram one day. I'm still a little confused as to how the app's algorithm accidentally knew I needed comfortable shoes for work, but that's another story. After seeing them I went to the Cole Haan website to see if they had any stock in stock, which they did, so I immediately went to the Cole Haan store to see them in person. Now I have them in three different colors and can buy another pair. This is the perfect everyday shoe. I was looking for a stylish, comfortable shoe to wear to work in a distribution center where I was on my feet 12 hours a day on concrete floors and it was just what I needed. Even if I don't work on my feet for 12 hours, these are still my shoes when I get dressed for work in the morning. I get so many compliments every time I wear them! Just remember that they will grow and stretch over time. For comparison I am a size 10.5 and as this was a new style I had no guideline for sizing. Luckily I bought my first pair from Cole Haan to find the right size for me. I first tried on a size 11 and they were huge, then I tried on a size 10 and they fit perfectly (at the time). Little did I know that if I put on a size 10 pair it would start to stretch and now this pair fits looser than I would like. The next two pairs I bought were a size 9. The upper of the shoe was a bit tight and uncomfortable for a while, but over time they have stretched and now they fit perfectly. Also, depending on the type of floor I'm walking on, they make a weird creaking noise, which is annoying, but I still love them!
