Any one lucky enough to try or own a pair of Cole Haan shoes

I'm waiting the Oprah show for the second time about this guy and his shoes, and I'm jealous! Anyone know if these shoes really are the cure for high heels that are actually wearable?

My grandmother cleans clothes for a thrift store as some volunteering she does so she is always finding things she thinks her grandaughters need. She had a pair of Cole Haan shoes at Christmas that she wanted to give one of us, we all three tried really hard to make them fit but they were to small.

I have several pairs. Some are more comfortable than others. You really need to try them on or be able to return (if buying online). Some of the styles tend to be very narrow and others have a weird rise.

I definitely wouldn't say they're the most comfortable out of all my shoes but are up there.

I have a pair of Cole Haans with Nike cushioning. I refuse to wear bright white tennis shoes, and embarrass myself in Europe, like the majority of Americans. They're comfortable and stretchy. I should have bought them in a 6.5 not a 7.

I also have a pair of European sneakers (green suede) in addition to my regular ones.

I think Nike owns Cole Haan. DH got a pair from the Nike employee store but they just didn't fit right so I had to take them back. He really likes his pair (with some sort of Nike stuff).

Nellie, you crack me up. "With some sort of Nike stuff."

Alison, my brain is mush and I can't get more specific than that.

I figured you have a lot on your mind right now. It's just really cute, that's all!

I have a pair of Cole Haan pumps that are way too snug... they hurt my feet. Is there a way to stretch them without killing myself??

I never bought another pair after that, but the Nike stuff looks good! I have a bunch of wallets, etc. from Cole Haan though.

ETA: For cool and comfy tennis shoes, I go with Diesel Explorers. I have a deep love for their shoes.

At Nordstrom they'll stretch shoes for you. They put them on a stretcher and you pick them up after 1/2 hour or so.
