My husband has had two pair of these shoes in the past three years and wears them once or twice a week to work, where he has a desk job.  He likes the fit and look of the shoe and it fits in with the dressy-casual expectation of his office.  I expected the Cole Haan product quality would be better than other, lesser priced, retail shoes that are available, which would justify the cost.  This has not been the case, however, and it took two pair to teach us this lesson.<br /><br />The problem is that the sole has worn through on both pair quite quickly, much faster than any other shoes that he owns, and he owns a lot of shoes.  If you look up on Cole Haan's website, they do offer a repair service, but it costs almost as much, or as much, as a new pair of shoes.  Tack on shipping and you'll be paying more.<br /><br />I am highly disappointed in these shoes and will not be purchasing any more shoes from Cole Haan.
