"These are great looking shoes, but I didn't examine them very closely before I bought them. After further inspection there are a few things to note. 1. the stitching on the top part of the sole only goes halve way around the shoe and I suspect that it's decorative and these aren't goodyear welted. 2. The stain on the heals was applied sloppily and it shows runs 3. I have only worn the shoes a couple of times and there are some scratches and light creasing already showing on the leather
Overall, these are below par for Cole Haan. I have bought quite a few pairs of CH and usually like the quality for the price paid."
