Very light, stylish and comfortable casual/dressy shoes

2026-01-21    -RT

I always love the quality of Cole Haan shoes. These shoes are very stylish in a minimalist design. Very light in weight, only 215gm per shoe on my digital scale. Insole is well padded and comfortable. Size does run a slightly bit long, but wide enough for those with slightly wider feet like mine. I haven't had much ankle pain from the shoe rubbing, but then I haven't walked all day on these shoes yet. The inside of the shoe does have a slightly grippy suede like lining material, which may rub on the ankle if you wear very thin socks or no socks. The heel height is also a bit higher, but I included a photo comparing to other Cole Haan shoes with similar or slightly lower height backs of their shoes.

To start things off: these appeared as Women’s when I added them to my cart (I think it’s a bug with having W for wide sizes) but I can confirm they showed up as Men’s which is what I ordered.Good: These shoes are really nice and much lighter than I expected, a good budget alternative to Common Projects and substantially more comfortable (what I was looking for). If you’re looking for a classic white leather sneaker without any real branding these are a great option. Bonus points for being available in Wide widths, although the toe box seems to be the only part with any notable width added (midfoot is still a little narrower than I’d like). The leather is extremely soft so they’ll break in and crease quickly, but that’s pretty standard for white leather sneakers.Bad: Mine had DEFINITELY been walked around in before and had a few marks on them (see pics). I don’t mean just little creases from being tried on in a store, these had small scuffs/scratches - even one where somebody tried to fill a pinprick with white out - and some phantom purple stain on the end of a lace (honestly looks like grape jelly). On a positive note the sole and insole themselves are spotless, so either somebody wiped them down very well or just clumsily wore them around indoors before returning them. The heel piece is stiff like others have mentioned and I can see that being uncomfortable during break in. There’s also a slight color variation between the leather and sole, I’d call the leather more ivory and the sole/laces straight white (fine for me but might be a deal breaker if you were looking for perfect white).Ultimately I need these ASAP and I’m not seeing any more left in my size, so I’ll keep them despite showing minor signs of wear. I figure since they’re white sneakers I’ll probably scuff them up after 1-2 wears anyways so it’s not the end of the world.UPDATE: 90 days in, these are great shoes. They’re way more comfortable than my Vans/Converse and have held up pretty well. The sole is soft so it does show wear quickly (although cleanly) but the upper itself feels almost like calfskin once it’s broken in. I’ve also gotten a number of compliments on them which is rare. These have become my go to sneaker and I’ll buy another pair once these wear out - albeit probably not on Amazon because these were clearly worn a number of times before they showed up.

Great shoe

Good and comfortable light shoe. All around walking and looks really good. Thick leather and soft rubber sole. May wear out quick but price is really good. Just get another pair after a year or so.

Superb quality

I bought the tan and navy blue leather ones. The leather feels good and the shoes are comfortable. Both pairs do crease but that's normal with leather and it doesn't look unseemly.Some of the other reviews talk about the blue leather ones rubbing off and discoloring. I haven't experienced this after wearing them almost every day in very hot/humid weather as well as rainy northeast autumn. I also have not needed to polish them.What I can say is that the sizing on these shoes is vastly different from the same size tan leather ones. The tan leather ones fit great. I loved them and ordered the navy blue leather. Unfortunately, I just kept them in the box past the return date w/o trying them on because they were the same size as the tan ones.When I finally put them on and went out, I realized that they are much much bigger. I actually have 2 insoles and a heel cup placed in the navy leather 11Ws while the tan 11Ws have no insoles or anything. Other than that, they are great shoes and both the tan and navy have been rugged enough to handle my abusive daily commute.I also have 2 of the woolen pairs. One I haven't worn at all and the navy woolen pair does have a problem being too high and cutting into the back of my ankle causing blisters, as someone else mentioned. They may just require some breaking in but I haven't worn them enough to know for sure. Other than the bleeding foot, the woolen navy pair feels and fits well :-)

I am a Cole Hahn fan so I thought I would try these shoes. I have an extra wide foot but these shoes are very comfortable. They look dressy too!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite kicks!!!

These are insane and the best white sneaks I’ve ever purchased. Very well made and light as air. The comfort level is through the roof. Feel like I’m wearing no shoes. They are so light!!! My first pair was in black and just bought the white. I was previously wearing banana republic for the same price more or less. You won’t wrong with these shoes. They will be your favorite kicks

Fit is great with dress socks. Thicker socks makes them feel tight. But these things are so light and comfortable I can wear them all day. After 3 work weeks of daily use 10+ hours the foot bed is still soft and I have zero problems with them. I did find a line on the shoe after the first day wearing and cleaned it - not sure if it was there from the factory or if I stepped in something. It's not visible while wearing them so I'm OK with it. I'll probably pick up some brown polish to keep them looking new, but they broke in nicely and there's no obvious defects. Again, super light and an absolute pleasure to wear them. Sharp looking shoes and I'll probably pick up another pair in dark blue or black eventually.
