First of all, I want to say that I really like these shoes - they are light, comfortable, true to size (roomy, but not too much), and the brown color looks fashionable. I was even interested in buying another pair in black because I like the comfort, look and not feel of wearing bricks on my feet. It's been a comfortable month in these Cole Haan shoes. However, when I took a damp washcloth to freshen it up, I noticed that the rubber edge of the Cole Haan logo was already peeling off one of the shoes. A bit surprised because I switched them with another pair of shoes so I don't wear them day in and day out. The rest of the shoe looks intact, but that bodes well in terms of durability. I still recommend them but I wouldn't pay more than $35 for questionable quality.
