"I love Cole Haan shoes and have multiple pair that have lasted forever and still look new but these shoes are just not worth the money. The sole will detach from the shoe within only a day of wearing them and will continue to get worse as time goes on causing you to trip on the flapping sole up near your toes. Trust me when I say this wasn't a lemon among diamonds as I had thought the same and exchanged my first pair for another pair of these boots (props to DSW for letting me do this!), but the same thing happened again. Also another review mentions this as well. I know they look nice, but I highly recommend spending your money on something else."
