"I have worn nothing but Cole Hann for many years. I have found that they are the most comfortable and longest lasting shoes around. The Pinchshawl II is one of my favorites. The classic look and the very comfortable cushioning make it a daily wearer, sometimes for as many as 15-16 hours a day for my job. This is my 2nd pair of Pinchshawl's to go with my other 8 pairs of Cole Haans. You just can't go wrong with them"
