Cole Haan Men's Lenox Hill Cap Oxford

Comment

I liked the first pair I ordered. When I bought my first pair, it took about a month to break them in and then they fit well. With my second pair, they have never broken in and they gave me a permanent scar on my heel as I tried to wait for them to brake in. Also, the sole on both shoes separated from the shoe at the toe within 60 days of wearing them. The shoes look great, but Ill never buy them again.

Browns can be such a difficult color for men to use since it seems as if every designer has a different interpretation of what "dark brown" is. I thought I had hit a stroke of luck in finding these great looking oxfords on Amazon and from the pictures, thought that they would match my belt and watch perfectly, however upon unboxing them, I was disappointed to see that the shoes carried much more red in them than the product picture lead me to believe and I had no choice but to send them back – in truth, their coloring was closer to an oxblood or red-brown than a chocolate or wooden dark brown. I hope these pictures help better illustrate my point and can keep others from making my same mistake. Hopefully Cole Haan will put out a "browner" version soon as I still think that these will make a great pair of dress shoes.

I really wish I could return these shoes. They seemed to fit well enough at first, but would rub slightly on my heel. I figured they just needed to be broken in a bit, so kept wearing them. But now 2 months later, I am trying all kinds of inserts or heel pads in the shoes to try to alleviate the pain. But no luck. I am about to donate these to charity and never buy Cole Haan again. Very sad because I bought these as a replacement for the Cole Haan shoes that I used to have that looked just like these. It seems the manufacturing quality has degraded quite a bit...Cole Haan is no longer a premium brand, they are just the best you can get at a Macys level price point. Wouldve been better off spending 50% more for a true quality product from another brand.

As other posters have noted, the dark brown color has some strong reddish tones to it, making it closer to a burgundy than a typical dark brown. This was perfect for me, so I was very happy with the color. The leather is decent quality and holds a shine relatively well. Two things about these shoes could be better, in my opinion. The first is that the leather is very stiff, they wore holes in my heels the second time I wore them, which gave me a deeper appreciation for what women regularly sacrifice in the name of fashion. After this episode, I went after the heel leather by hand, bending it down into the shoe in an effort to break it down a bit. I also applied some leather conditioner and this has really improved the comfort of these shoes, I would highly recommend it! Additionally, the heels in these things are not insignificant. I am used to wearing relatively flat shoes, so this has been a big adjustment and, really, a drawback for me. I have to change how I walk when I wear these shoes, which is kind of a pain. That said, I do like the wooden look of the heels and the look of the shoe overall, so Im willing to sacrifice a bit of satisfaction for fanciness. Overall, a very good pair of shoes with just a couple negatives that wont let me give these shoes five stars.

Very nice looking shoes. Definitely worth the buy. The sizing is a bit longer than you expect shoe size wise because of the style of the shoe. So I recommend getting a half size down from your current wear. PROS - Very Slick/Professional - Extremely Comfortable - Good Quality and Great for the price CONS - Runs just a bit large.
